on a brighter note

i have been particularly hard on a few players after last weekend, actually, on most of the team. however I will go on the record as saying, we are not soft, we just did not apply pressure and tackle as well as we should have.

I think soft implies that we are unable/unwilling to lay tackles, whilst truth be known, we just had one of those weeks where we were out "hustled". But I digress....

It was two years ago last weekend that we were r@ped by Carlton at Optus, by almost 20 goals. How long ago does that seem now?

over and out

Uhuh I totally agree. But we cant consider ourselves real contenders till we win matches like the one on the weekend. We were the better side but still we could not muster enough oomph to get us over the line. When we do that we will be invisible. Were almost at the top, just a few little things ( some decent KPP players, pressure all the time) now and we'll be as good as the Lions, if not better. We are a young team and we are still learning.

I thought that basicly we didn't apply enough pressure to lock the ball in our forward line. The loss of Fido was a big one as they rebounded from our forward line too easily.
