Another close game v Saints (1991)
Jakovich!! I really miss these suburban grounds even if they were pigsty's. I was only a kid back then but it really did feel like entering enemy territory and gave some variety and a different experience week to week. MCG, Waverley, Windy Hill, Princes Park, Vic Park, Moorabbin, Western Oval. Great memories.

NON MFC: Round 15
Can't believe anyone on here talked him up. Yeah he has his "on" days but nights like tonight is the norm rather than the exception. Totally overrated because Essendon and because Daniher. If he was Joe Bloggs no-one would be much interested.

It was going to be a stretch anyway with Cats and Port to play before us

I don't know how we won that. Actually I do. Goodwin. We completely outcoached the Saints tonight, took away their one wood and they had nothing else. If we lost it was going to be because the killed us on the outside, Butler, Hill, Kent, Billings etc None of those guys had much influence tonight, we set up extremely well defensively and shut them down. Petracca is a gun, hopefully it's eating the Saints supporters tonight seeing him kick 4 including what proved to be the matchwinner- GAMEDAY: Rd 14 vs St. Kilda

- Game plans, tactics and all that jazz
I think it goes a bit deeper than that as it depends on the quality of our opposition. We struggle against the top tier teams but can do it seemingly easily against the middle-lower sides. We get the game on our terms by brute force overpowering the poorer teams in the contest and sreamrolling over them running forward. Whereas teams who can match us in the middle and also have some pace and skill to outrun us on the outside and retain possession we struggle to match. This is what most commentators have been saying for the last couple of years.
