    I'm putting it down to the calming influence of Fox. Plus we've been much better in stopping the ball before it gets to our defence.

      I felt very confident that something good was going to happen when Dattoli got the ball in space.

          Great to get a win, after looking like being blown away in the first quarter. Pretty well everybody contributed.

          Cleary and Warner got us going in the second quarter. The defence looked much more secure when Fox arrived in the second quarter. Kirk was solid all day. Mitchell and Bowman provided some dash out of defence. Florent did some nice things, but had a couple of costly turnovers. Green is increasingly influential in general play. Francis did really well providing a marking target. Dattoli and Hanily made North pay when it hit the ground. McNamara did some good things on debut.

            Beating North Melbourne is doing my head in. 8 goals in the first quarter and it looked like a training drill for North. Then 5 goals for the rest of the match? Green in the ruck was great and Dattoli, yes now I am a fan,did some seriously classy work. Even Bowman down back looked good. Clearly was our best player.

              Thanks for the report. Sounds promising!

                My best on ground was Cleary - excellent in close with quick decisions and neat disposal, doesnt make 70m passes but operates within his limitations and works relentlessly. Was frequently opposed to Wardlaw, so there were no easy touches for him.
                Bowman was really good in defence, even won a contested 1-on-1, marked well and provided plenty of drive. He looked lost earlier in the year when forward, I wonder how much of that is development as opposed to playing forward in a dysfunctional team?
                Lastly Dattoli was classy and rarely wasted the ball, also worked and pressured well up the field.

                Should also note that Andrew and especially Snell battled manfully all day - North had three big bodies in Trembath, Maley and Tarrant, so to keep them to 4 goals was a fair effort.
