Hughes ran hard, tackled and spoiled harder, marked strongly, kept the ball in play a number of times when the boundary was the easy option, delivered well by foot on most chances, changed the ball movement direction a number of times in the possession chains that caught Geelong off guard and opened up the field in front of the team. He had a great game and has been building this over four or five weeks. It was great to see.
And Luke Ryan was awesome. So dirty on himself for Cameron getting 2 kicks in the first quarter and fought back well to completely shadow him out of the game.
I don’t know about you, but to me Cameron looks like a guy who can run a lot but his body, arm musculature and facial expression look like a bloke who has run one too many marathons. Like a 60-year-old 30-year-old. It’s a bit scary.
