[Doubtless, Geelong is more formidable with its captain in some sort of form.] I thought working with Moons chopped me out, it gave me a help all day, ... It was managed pretty well. It's great to get through it. |
[Thompson said the defeat] hurt the footy club a fair bit ... It was probably the wake-up call we needed as a group. To drop that game that was so important to us. We just made a pact to fight out the rest of the year together. |
Churchill Downs is also a nice pick-up. |
