Good:
Effort was good mostly.
Fogarty was exceptional - he will be the clubs best forward. Strong, skilled, ruthless and I'm pretty sure he will kill someone on the field one day with a bump.
Talia, Brown & Kelly were good. Kelly in particular continues to impress me after I wrote him off earlier in the year.
Crouches were productive in the middle.
Sloane was great until injured - maybe cost us the match.
Bad:
Tex got a couple of goals but was mostly poor. An effort I want to highlight is when Otten kicked to him just outside of 50 and Tex went up one handed (as per usual) and didn't take the grab, a few moments later we got back inside 50 and Fog outbodies his opponent and takes a strong grab. Tex needs to learn of the youngster.
Otten was glacial by mind and foot.
Douglas was slow and average.
Mackay is just so weak - his tackling efforts always lead to the opposition getting an effective disposal away.
Knight is just a very average footballer.
Betts was ineffective against a good team (shocking)
Lynch was ineffective against a good team (shocking)
Gibbs was mostly okay but soft and had a footsteps moment when trying to mark inside 50. Weak.
Ugly:
Hartigan...surely we can do better. Lock his opponent in for best
Basically we played to our absolute best and West Coast played average and we still fell short. All of the players we were screaming to drop played poor and we desperately needed some pace with Jones, Galluci etc coming in but we backed ourselves in. We really set ourselves for an upset but didn't make the necessary moves so it comes down to selection...again.
I'm not sure where the improvement comes from. The only youngster in the team kicked 5 and was BOG.
