Thank god that’s over.

Friggin fold or merge...DO SOMETHING!

I didn't get to the game, thankfully, but it looks like a classic case of what they call "bruise free footy." We had 20 more disposals, dominated hit outs, yet had 30 fewer inside 50s, and 37 fewer tackles. That sounds like a team that wasn't prepared to work hard and be direct in conditions that demanded tough, direct footy. 

That said, the (unfairly) much maligned Gray had 7 tackles along with a game high 30 touches. He has been good in the few league games he has played in the back end of the year, and hopefully can cement his place next year. He will certainly be a big boost to the reserves in the finals, as will Watson, Ewing and Hine-Baston.
