I said in the game thread we would win it at half time when hayward goaled and I meant it, felt what i saw in the first half was a side trailing because of two reasons
A- best players not involved
B- poor coaching
But when we had small moments we looked the better side
You can adjust both of those and we did
Yes Longmire admitted he had to change the match ups. It was as obvious as dog's balls we had to change the match ups. blind Freddy could have seen that. As soon as I saw some of the pairings I thought, Sheesh he got that wrong. But he did change them after quarter time and if Kennedy, Parker & Hannaberry (good in second half) had turned up in the first half we might have done even better. I'm just wondering when these blokes are going realise they can't have a holiday every third week.
The Young Guns won it for us yesterday. Newman's tackling, pressure and ability to strip them of the ball and then deliver was pivotal and BOG for mine. Lloyd, Heeney, Papley, Hayward (popping up at pivotal times. That mark was pure genius, it is so hard to jump straight up like that), Jones, Hewett (he did a real job on Dusty, 23) & Mills were all good. The others had their moments too. Reid was really good which is a bonus and he has been for most of the season.
Rampe was 'Bad Boy Dane' yesterday. Bad habits creeping back into his game. Needs to think about that and get on with it. Forget about the crap Dane just play footy. Kizza did his job as a small forward. A good thing he isn't working through the mids anymore as his delivery is not great. towers, Marsh & Smith didn't get much of the ball the latter two were effective after half time in the back-line but Deano as much as he did a couple of very good things was pretty quiet. I would have thought this his sort of game, playing on a fast guy. but then again his opponent wasn't that effective either.
There will probably be two changes for next week. Another tall back and a mid/forward.
