Despite a narrower margin and the near possibility of (almost) winning the game, it was actually quite horrid to watch, like pulling teeth. Proudy did some great things. It was Xavier Clarke's first game back in the AFL following a recovery from a knew reconstruction, so disappointing for him to go off again with a hamstring injury.
