Lol yeah I am a mad fanatical Bombers supporter....
The Swans final had a terrible outcome for us, but it’s a really important gauge we are with that side.
The first qr impressed me though - showed we could match it with them but needed to covert all our chances & keep up the intensity.
Throw in a Stringer / Smith & Saad and Hooker and the result could easily be in our favour.
More to the point Begleys game showed me that he could stand up against one of the best teams going round and make a good contribution, beyond his years.
Just on that. We redlined it that first quarter. Couldn't have put in any more effort or eeked anything more out of the talent we had on the park. Barely scratched them and then we dropped off and they annihilated us.
Im hoping the club took out of the game that its not just a matter of improving our consistency, our top line output is also not up to scratch, especially around the ball.
The positive out of that game is you couldn't have asked for a better lesson for Begs, McGrath, Parish etc. They saw where they need to get to, the level you need to reach.
