Anyway I think both coaches would be happy with that game. Adelaide had a good crack and got in a few good tackles and pressure acts, and tried to move the ball quick in our D50, got some reward for that too. We were never going to lose this game and Nicks will cop the loss and go get top pick in the draft. He's done OK and Adelaide show signs of life going forward.
For us, kept our structure, kicked straight, dominated I50s despite good pressure. Great signs from Ross, Sheds, and I'm still wrapt with defensive efforts from Pickett and Kmac. Astbury, what can you say. Great game. Aarts and Caddy the only injury worries but we've got two weeks to get 'em right. Another typical George game, good pressure and kicked a goal... but it's not enough for mine. Rioli similar... but I reckon they both stay in.
Also got a look at Chol and Caddy, one failed and one succeeded but maybe we keep Chol as second ruck anyway, although he barely deserves it.
Dimma's only problem now is how to fit all our talent in for the first final.
