All this 'Doom and Gloom'. The reality is we haven't played well for the first 5 games and have lost one game. I said to the boss on wed night when I seen the side we will get rolled. After following the Baggers for 63 years every time we look like having our best team in it happens. Go figure.
A couple of POSITIVES - Cowan, Hollands and Newys form.
All this talk of big bodies and getting smashed by the Crows, I remind all that we beat the reining premiers two weeks ago and they are not small. When you get smashed in the contest and get pushed off the ball it always comes down to the size of our players. We are not small; we are just not as quick as we need to be. Look at the Daicos Bros, Pendles and Sidebottom, they are not monsters, they are smart. Having Sammy back will help. Our structure was stuffed on Thu night when Gov pulled out and Pitt was subbed. No Doc also hurts. Don't blame our backline blame the lazy midfielders.
Sure, we have some weaknesses on the list and this will be addressed at the end of the year. We have to get a quality Ruckman and we need some more speed around the ball. TDK and SOS are not the answer in the ruck.
We cannot keep players on the list who are continually injured. There is bad luck and there is Martin and co. Start cleaning out your lockers Martin, Cunners and Marchy. Need to give Cincotto and Dow a few games to prove themselves.
I expect a complete turnaround against the Aints next Sunday. Hopefully Gov and Pitt will be OK.
Apart from Doc, probably our best team. About time our luck changed and we get down to under 10 on the Injured List. IF we are going to be up there this year, we need to win these games. Just hope Vossy has them fired up. scoreboard pressure will stop the saliva spewing out.
Just had another look at the replay I'll take the 2 points. Some positives and some of the usual negatives. would have lost by 6 goals last year.
Tiggers would have beaten most teams on that performance last night. Hardwick was fuming in his presser and stated that their pressure was 'Elite'. Blamed their finishing.
Big plus for the MC playing the two kids. They will only get better. Not sure about TDK and SOS in the ruck. Next week they we will probably do the same against the Premiers.
Really miss Sammy W. Hope he can get back soon.
Long season and we will only get better. Not sure the Tiggers will
