Not much to get excited about from a typical pathetic effort interstate. Its like these players are intimidated by the sheer ferocity of these crowds. Hopeless effort.
Positives
- Well done Teddy Richards. Stood up IMO at both ends of the ground and is starting to blossum a little bit. Hope he keeps it up
- Peverill. great effort from a very honest trier. Never gave up at all.
- Thought Stanton was another great trier. Did something most of the team rarely does and that was chase as hard as he could even though didnt make the tackle.
Great goal when he sized it up from 80 and decided to go for it. Most of our players would bomb it from 60.
Negatives
- MJ. What the hell is wrong with him. Totally out of form and should be dropped. Was torn a few by Judd in the middle and then Matera in the backline.
- Hille. Typical effort. Missing important shots at goal when we needed them. Kicks them when they dont matter. Going nowhere
- Why was NLM played in the backline. Obviously not a backline player. Watched Seaby take an easy mark in the last quarter when should have punched.
- Our tacking is woeful. a pet hate of mine is the habit of ours to Correll a player rather than try and make a tackle. Why give aplayer time to assess his options. Would rather see them get around our players if they charge at them. Misiti nevers seems to want to approach the player with the ball.
- Why was Fletcher brought back on. sill decision when the game was all over
- Umpring - Got a raw deal especially in the first half. How Lloyd never got a free when he was dragged to the ground in the square is beyond me. Other times we got screwed over especially the Sampi free kick.
