But Andrew was good.

He had a good game.

Yeah.

What he does, Fat, is the defensive work Andrew Brayshaw does, the other 17 coaches, if they've got lazy, one-way running midfielders, they should just clip up that game against your mob and go, that is gold standard of defending in the middle of the ground.

Jim, it's a good point.

We'll look at the negatives on the other side of this, but that's exactly what Damien Hardwick needs to do, I think.

Not that he needs us or you or me or anyone to tell him what he needs to do, but you're right.

It's the contrast of what he's now dealing with with his midfield.

You mentioned the slog of matches, and that St Kilda-Weston Bulldogs game yesterday was one of those.

There was a...

There was a season highlight in it, though, when Marcus Bontempelli with one hand just picked up a very, very ugly ball in one swoop and then two steps later had slammed the ball onto his trusty left foot straight through the middle for a goal.

Look, it's probably not goal of the year, but it's as good as anyone's going to kick, I think, this year.

And it was the one highlight out of a real slogging game.

He was outstanding again.

He had a few patches where he wasn't as influential as he often is.

But to me, he was still the best player on the ground.

I like that.

I love Buku Kamis' game too.

Yeah.

Well done.
