Thou shalt respect their opponant, regardless of ladder position, at each and every contest of each and every game.
Seriously, any idiot who's caught even a glimpse of the doggies in the last few weeks knew the kind of footy they're playing is not indicative of their ladder position. And as much as Cuz & Co. can say all the right things in the lead up, I doubt there were many out there who actually believed it. We were full of ourselves again today, just seemingly expecting it to happen for us. We acted as the hunted, rather than an opponent in a very level game.
The ultimatum has to be, that we start to work as a team again, or we can forget about firstly a top 4 finish, and secondly a respectable showing in finals at all. We were disgraceful today, and will be beaten by 100+ again next week if we don't take serious stock of today's disaster.
Cuz. Welcome back. Awesome today early, and it was more the nitty gritty stuff that he was doing, rather than the beautiful dodge, weave & spin stuff.
Samps, welcome to the big league kiddo.
Now, Davey Wirrpunda, I love you, I truly do, and the excitement you build is like (almost) nothing on earth, BUT if you EVER leave the f*cking side of your opponent again when playing in the last line, I will personally hunt you down. Brilliant player, but shlt, he's obviously far too loose to play so deep (but we knew that from the KJ debacle). What really worried me though, was that he didn't seem able to change his style of play when needed. Did he just think 'nah, I'll keep playing my game, it'll be cool'? Or is he incapable of it? Either way, Nathan Brown killed us again, and it's primarily Wirra & Whoosha's fault. At least Banners finished on him.
Bullies, you played a great game today, and your supporters should be proud. It wasn't a particularly pretty game, but when it comes to the crunch, it's the 4 points that matter isn't it? Your kids are excellent, and unless you send some this way, I hope you're able to keep them all. The makings of a solid team. Congratulations to Brad Johnson, he's one of those players that no matter how much they destroy you, is just so hard not to like. Infectious smile. Anyway, he was clapped off by the Eagles people today, and for good reason.
Anyway, I've only just stopped shaking, so I'll give my real thoughts on today later....
