Let's not underestimate the win. YES, souths were missing players but Dogs also had three of their main stars out. Also down a forward for most of the match.
They had the match comfortable before souths scored twice in the last few moments. Souths did take advantage of EQW on the edgez.
Dogs went into game also with new positions with unknown combinations. Avarillo first time at FB, Sexton first game with the Dogs, completely new set of centres, Topine/flannagan first game in the forwards this year for the Dogs. This is a signification impact of game day combinations.
Seen a few comments that the forwards were rubbish, I must have seen a different game. They defended well, restricting metres gained. For the first time in awhile, they had the better avg set meters gained. That was with a forward down & flannagan on the bench.
Well done Dogs.
