I know its pre season and the match means nothing but jesus christ that pi$$ed me off no end. We played the single most pathetic gameplan ive ever seen. It was alright going into the wind...but i dont see the point, with a 5 goal breeze at your back, to chip the ball along the boundary like your kicking into a tornado in torrential rain. We had a huge breeze in the last quarter, and everytime we got the ball we'd go for the boundary. What the hell is the point of that.
And it wasnt just the gameplan that was pathetic. We looked really awful. Yet again, we had absolutely no forward line to speak of. The ball just came rebounding out of our forward line all night long with no pressure at all. For the third time in a row our midfield was beaten and put minimal pressure on their opponents. Our defence was alright except for Paxman who got given a bath by Whitnall in the second half.
I know its only pre season but it really annoyed the crap out of me tonight. Its not like we were out of the game either. We were 2 1/2 goals up midway thru the last quarter and Carlton got the ball out the centre 4 times in a row and kicked 4 goals.
There was minimal use of the bench all night long as well, with only Brogan and Cassisi getting any sort of gametime off the bench.
Of our players...Wanganeen was our best player by so much its not really worth mentioning anyone else. Dew kicked 4 goals and played well, Brogan did alright, Monty looked alright, Nick Stevens played very well but thats about it.
