Friday night, you probably had one eye on the television and one eye on a very important practice match the following day.
A couple of key outs for the Cats, especially Max Holmes going down the week before against the Saints.
Melbourne was sharp it was and Cozzy looked really dangerous early on and he's often the barometer of that team but their ball movement was really dynamic and I was working on it for radio the game and I just deep down inside had this like oh no this uh this isn't going to go that well but to be able to flip that momentum around shows how good this team is.
And yeah, it looked like it was potentially going to get away from them really early.
And then, yeah, to have some of the changes that have come in over the last couple of weeks and have some of those players really stand up in some key moments.
We can't help ourselves sometimes, especially those of us who work in the media getting excited about the headliners.
Jez, Max Holmes, Bailey Smith, Tom Stewart, and quite rightly so because they're incredible footballers.
But it did warm my heart to see the depth tested and then the depth rise on Friday night.
I thought Tom Atkins, particularly in the first half... was just unbelievable in his contest work, his clearance work, his post-clearance work, everything he was doing to say, oh, yeah, hang on.
