Bit sad for NZ, they took such a massive social and fiscal hit going for eradication, and it seems it has failed.
Not sure it has failed just yet.
They had 4 instances of community transmission and have instigated a 3 day lock down.
I think this a reasonably conservative reaction to a small but unexpected infection. Not an over-reaction. And certainly not the under-reaction that is playing out across many jurisdictions.
Statistically speaking, this stat might be game high for our team, but like all stats, if high for the competition is 30, then 22 is reasonable for a young player. If 15 is high for the competition, then 22 becomes impressive.
The effect it has on team mates, is difficult to measure, but it would be appreciated and that's all that matters there.
The pessimist in me reminds me that our club is looking for as many small wins as it can get, so highlighting stuff like this for a youngster is important as a small win in case we dont get the big win, so the fact we won by a point is important to note in this regard.
Love an ugly win, especially at our uncertain stage.
I expect more of Thomas, mostly earlier. Unacceptable turnovers, but his one percenters at the end provide some leeway.
If DT eventually clicks, Rowe, Everitt and White stand up (again), and the rest of em play to their potential... we will go alright. Almost there tonight. White grew a third leg.
This Docherty bloke would be a good inclusion.
Robbo clanger in the last mins was ugly. Played a good game, but butchered when it counts.
Took the kids in for a few hours, to walk the turf (dodging footies like the old days) and look around in some of the places we are usually excluded from!
