As for the game itself against WSW, why on earth pump so many high balls about when the strong wind was telling you to play it to feet? 



Surely the strong wind is exactly why you pump so many high balls about? It makes things unpredictable, and yes the nix players are going to struggle to get on the end of the long ball in the wind a little bit, but it's going to mess with the away team a lot more. I hear what you're saying but ultimately it was pumping in a long ball in the wind that got us the three points, so I have no complaints. It doesn't make for the most entertaining football at times but if that's the way we make our home advantage count then that's fine with me.

It wasn't the first time we've got a freakishly wind-assisted goal (Greenacre against the Fury in '09, Leo against the Heart in '10 come to mind), and it won't be the last.
