Atrocious is a bit over the top. It drizzled for most of the match never even rained.
Conditions were the same for both but we acted like the ball was a bar of soap and GWS didn't. Seriously made us look like the bottom side at times. At the ground their ball movement looked soo much better. I'd like to see the I50 to goal ratio for both sides.
To be fair, it was raining in Sydney all week so GWS were training in the rain, whereas it was warm & sunny here so GWS got to train to suit the conditions...
I don't understand the decision behind selecting McKernan - may have been a good selection if it was going to be dry but rain was forecast all week. Then Callinan pulls out & we replace him with Henderson; surely Knights would've been the better replacement?? I just assumed Hendo replaced him because he was the only emergency not playing in the SANFL, but looking at the SANFL stats in the paper, Symes & Knights didn't play either...
