Smithies made 2 smart early saves one from the bullet header that was top drawer, we didnt seem to miss Coady and with Bunn behind the 2 he set the tone with his pace and willingness to close down. Wells hit the post on 45 mins after Bunn disposed their defender - he was my MOM.
Butterfield and Hogg played really well together, perhaps we should start with this similar line up at Charlaton and have Scanz, JV or Wells and Coady, Lolley all warming the bench, competition is healthy.
The defence looked organised, Robinson tested with good wingers and a slick passing midfield but we shackled them up front and the pressing knocked them out of their stride, goals at the right moments took us away, sitting pretty in 12th.
Think the actual crowd would have been somewhere under 8000 187 Burks only yet better atmosphere than Saturday, the crowd responding to high pressing and a good tempo, which MUST be our minimum.
Really enjoyed the evening, thou i was only 1 of 7 in our little group that went for various reasons all ST holders - incredible.
