A comprehensive victory indeed. And I wasn't all that surprised. Besides everything being in our favour, we are the far superior team.
I don't really have much else to write. We dominated every facet of the game from the start. The Roos were far out of their depth and we really look like we could have a bit of a finals run over the next couple for weeks.
The loss of Waters is disappointing, but we can't do much about it. Lynch's suspension isn't really something that will hurt our chances next week.
We face the C-wood on Saturday night, contrary to my rant last week suggesting it would be Friday night, and I think we have a huge chance to progress. The Pies' will is fading fast, like the will of Swan to stay off the grog for a few hours, and we are in great form.
Then the Swans, then the Hawks...and then Immortality!!!
