The doggies never gave up and had their chances. The old times Aker and Johnno were brilliant. If the siren hadn't gone I'd reckon Johnno would've run around and kicked it. Ward was very good too (McMahon's pick 19
). They still lack a big key forward though if they want to challenge for a flag. The Cats ran out of legs in the last 15 minutes being down to only a couple on the bench. They just know how to win even when they play patchy. Hawkins is still iffy as a tall forward option for them. He's still young but for a big lug he's frightened to kick over more than 40m at goal and he sprayed them everywhere last night anyway.
