Well, we manned up!!!! But we couldnt match the skills of the Bullies and went down by a disappointing 48 points. Im beginning to really hate the Dockers and will be barracking with all ive got for a Swans victory tommorow. Why? Because there the only thing between us and a wooden spoon.
Wirrpunda looked disinterested, Wilson was non existent, and we were on and off the field every other minute in a hope to what ... confuse the opponent??? We cant kick a winning score to save our lives and our midfield consists of one man. (For the ignorant ppl, that one man is Cousins)
Im beginning to think.....just when is our next win gonna come? I can only hope that McIntosh, Glass and Cummings will be back against Carlton. Carroll and Harding for Glass and Milli and our D looks a lot stronger.
But its not all bad i suppose, im frustrated at losing but i have to get used to it because thats what the rest of the season holds, loss after loss. The aforementioned "but" though was for Kerr, continuing to become a star. He's just 18 yrs old and 9 games under his belt consistently has a bigger impact on games than Kemp or Banners, between them having 350 games!
Gaspar was ok and Hunter was ok but there not coming on in leaps and bounds like we would want them to. Williams continues to impress me and Embly got better as the game went on but in the end we just couldnt kick goals and we couldnt win it out of the middle.
"Our midfield is stacked" is a regular comment i hear from fellow supporters, but is it?? I disagree. Kemp is getting old and is surely in his last year, Morrison is more of a half back flanker as is Matera in his old age. Kerr is a bright spot but isnt expected to win games of his 18 year old boot.
Fletcher, Braun, Taylor, Chambers, Banfield and co just seem to make up the numbers. On paper they look alright but on the field they cant seem to win it out of the middle unless Cousins helps them!! On top of that Banners looks gone with a serious knee injury.
Sorry for the novel but im half cut on bourbon and coke and wallowing in the wake of another loss by my beloved club.
