We were able to possess the ball quite well out of the back half which is

Probably not exactly how we want to play, but you kind of have to use what the opposition give you at times.

So Melbourne were able to...

get up pretty high on defense, but we were able to shift the ball around them and obviously that won't happen every single week.

But we were happy with that control and how we could move the ball through them.

It felt like we were able to own the game for periods of time, which haven't been the case in the first couple of rounds.

But yeah, it felt like across the ground we were able to get a tendency.

Yeah, I think I've obviously played a lot down there in my career, and the first couple of weeks was really difficult.

With the ball coming in quite quickly and quite fast, we had a real focus from the beginning of the year, but probably more pointed after the second round in Port Adelaide on putting pressure on the footy and getting back to our pressure identity and trying to put teams under duress in there and force high balls and give our backs a chance.

I think we let...

We left sort of Benny Mackay and Zach Reid out to dry on multiple occasions in the first couple of weeks.

And no defender is going to stop some of the entries that we allowed.

So it's been a focus of ours.

And I feel like we've been able to rectify that area of our game in the last couple of weeks.

Yeah, I think marginally.

I'm sort of one of those guys that's happy to play wherever, wherever Brad puts my magnet every week.

I'm more than happy to play that role, but I really enjoyed being around the ball on the weekend.

I think you can connect with a few more guys being sort of in the central part of the ground.

I thought on the weekend that our spirit and the way we celebrated each other was a highlight of the win, and I'm sure our fans saw that on the TV even before the scoreboard turned.

I'm just enjoying playing my part.
