Solid win

Vics came through in the clutch situations in the last 2 games against Tassie (thanks to Maxwell and Siddle) and NSW (thanks to Wade and SOK).

Good to see plenty of new faces come through the team this year without relying on the old firm of Hodge, Hussey, McDonald, White, Rogers, Harwood, McGain etc...
