James Nevinson kept hisplayer to a solitary goal for the day. EdenMatheson -Coles worked tirelessly in the ruckand in the back half. Christian Bell and MasonJames fought hard all day and were one of thefew who matched Mt Eliza physically.Whilst we suffered a big loss, there are lots wecan learn from a game like this and we can learnas much from a loss as we can from a win.
