But I would counter that by saying that his 'almost' games are serviceable enough.How many times does this get said after a game with tabs tho??..... he’s the king of “almost” games or “what ifs “
- at his age and at some stage you just gotta accept that what youve got from tabs is exactly what your going to get-the odd killer game mixed in with a lot of almost and down right ordinary games.
He kicked 2 goals, 7 marks (4 contested) created a contest at every opportunity, didn't let Harris Andrew run off him, multiple times throughout the game was drawing an extra defender on him which should have meant a Freo player was free somewhere, 6 score involvements (same as Fyfe). Should have been 3 goals if he wasn't robbed of a clear mark on the goal line.
His almost game was good enough, I also agree it could have been alot better.
No one gets judged more harshly than Tabs. Lobb somehow has completely avoided scrutiny for a howler of a game. He had 5 effective disposals for an entire game. 0.0 on the score sheet and only 7 hitouts. Mundy was a non-entity for 90% of the game.
