The two things that came out of the game for me were:

Ross Lyon was well and truly worth getting, he is exceptional, tactically and personally with the players.

Freo are a far better footbal team than they have ever been. I thought they were gone just before 3/4 time. Their tackling and skills/pace have improved tremendously
They never give in.

I think I will keep tipping against us, seems to be working. I can't help but think the bubble might burst sooner or later. The players will walk over broken glass for RL, everyone just does their job and the pressure they put the opposition under is immense. That was the best win this year by a mile, to blow Collingwood away early and rest the the ascendancy back after they hit the front, only good sides that are well coached do that.

Losing Griffen is heart breaking for him and us supporters. I was worried something might happen to him. Recruiting Hannath was a master stroke and the timing might not be too bad with Zac Clarke just about ready to resume. He's going to have to step up and pull his finger out or he will be on the scrap heap by seasons end.
