yesterday yesterday It was all love at the end.” I think I was pulling and dragging at him as much as he was at me. yesterday There were some aerials that we weren’t quite as good at, and it’s only just that game of inches, and just that extra intensity from them that gave them an advantage so when you’re able to then produce something like we did, it’s a shame that it wasn’t there right at the start. yesterday He told me he had passed the [concussion] test which is probably a sign that he is not quite right. Where has this sort of form come from? Yeah, I think it speaks to the quality of our defenders down there, especially De Koning. He’s in the conversation for the best key forwards in the comp in Naughton. Yeah, without Stewart. And I think they are quite precise with the way they use the ball, going inside 50.

Roo, (Riewoldt) you said when Naughton turns him around that‘s going to be the issue, but he didn’t allow that to happen,” he said.

He was one of the Cats’ best, finishing with 20 disposals, eight intercepts and seven score involvements. The game-long match-up of rising Cats defender Sam De Koning and athletic Dogs key forward Aaron Naughton was an intriguing battle across all four quarters.
