hmmm, waiting to hear what Mead had to say re: Haynes.
I think we can all agree that haynes was very very good. He did the things he does very well, very well, if that makes sense. But having said that, I still think we are missing the player who can take the big pack mark in the forward line. We had our way with Richmond for most of the game, hence the delivery to the forwards was top notch, but I still think the forward line is missing one dimension.
How good was Darren Glass? Had a stiff run from the umpires on top of everything else. I think his spell on the bench put the icing on the cake. We could afford to chuckle at it (being 10 goals up), but how chuffed would he have been feeling when the player who he had reigned in for most of the night, takes two quick mark/goals as soon as he goes off. On top of this, how good does his game against Tarrant look now, after Tarrant beat St.Kilda almost by himself?
So who gets Lloyd, Glass or McIntosh after his *injury*? Couldn't see Carroll playing on Lloyd, maybe, maybe Lucas, surely not Hird. Incidently ... speaking of "selection due to match-ups" surely Collica gets the call up to play on Hird? Or do you run with Chick?
Early vote for Ugly: Carroll trying to barge through a pack of Tigers and giving away a horrible holding the ball. I'll admit it, I do a fair bit of Carroll bashing, i still think he is taking the place of someone of more potential, like Lynch, but as the season has gone on, the adjective reliable could be added to any sentence when mentioning Trent .... but I have a theory. He looks his best when he plays to his capabilities ... i.e he should know that he can't burst through a pack Juddesque, and should stick the to the team game.
bring out the scarves and bring on the scum, time to settle some scores.
