Again, even add a 34 year old Goldie and Ziebell, who we all agreed this time last year was cooked and needed to hang up the boots asap, is that really the difference between (for all intents and purposes) beating a team that played in the previous years grand final, and this year getting slaughtered by bottom 4 teams?
Did you even look at Goldys stats that day? 40-38 clearances his way and in a midfield that in the last quarter was down to Sheeze and George.
Don’t underestimate the capacity of an experienced tap Ruckman, which we don’t currently have now
