His effort areas were spot on last night. One thing I picked up on was how often he would be pulling up the last defender off the ruck and positioning them at marker. Lots of pointing and talking in defence. His game fitness has doubled since the start of the year. Really happy with the emu.

2- Moses without being flamboyant, managed the game well and stepped up when it counted most.
1- Brown (was a toss up between him and Simmonson) had a big impact on the game early, and consistently injected himself when we needed him to.
shout out to a Greig on getting his first try, and again posting a decent 145 run meters
