And we can do it. Our defense is much better, and our attack is not to far behind.I watched the full 80 and actually thought the tigers looked sharp enough with ball in hand.
They just didnt get it in their hands for long enough because the storm were absolutley freakishly clinical.
People can say the tigers didnt turn up etc but the reality is not a lot of teams wouldve been able to slow melbourne down in that first 20 mins last night.
They were at their brilliant best. There execution was perfect. They were running hard, plays executed perfectly, perfectly timed passes and kicks.
We saw it in the gf last year. They are an incredibly difficult team to match when they are on a roll. Their pack is huge and it is very hard to swing momentum back.
If we are fortunate enough to get to the back end of the season again we will habe to be at our absolute best to beat them because they look even better this year than last.
Paps and hynes are freakish. The bench rotation of smith and grant is easily the best in the comp. There pack at full fitness is probably the best in the comp. Only weakess is their outside backs but they are still so well drilled.
