"...got to look at the negatives" Really???? After last night???? Come on Graham!
There's been sooooo much negativity and doom & gloom this week (not by me!) - can't we just bask in last night's performance?! Games like last night makes the years of turning up to watch below par footy all worthwhile. For me, it was a complete performance. Loved it! Ted H.
