I went. I had little expectation and was surprised that we actually had a fair number of supporters go. 32000 at Etihad isn't a terrible number. It's not great, but it wasn't our home game anyway.
I got medallion ticket. I had a few beers. I got some down time from our renovation, and I got some free popcorn.
You cannot tell me our players are in good nick. I estimate most are carrying a niggle and most have had poor pre season.
They actually tried tonight. Only for it to come undone in the execution.
For those of you who tell me we are better than what we are seeing, I'm not so sure. We exexcute basics poorly. We make bad decisions with ball in hand. Few genuinely show confidence. We don't create scoring opportunities and when our opponents make errors we fail to capitalise.
We are undersized, understrength, undermanned and still can't seem to form a spine of a team.
We have some good ingredients but it falls over too easily.
It's easy to point the finger at one, but we appear to suffer from a lack of familiarity with each others strengths and this is hindering our ability to play good footy.
Give it time, we'll improve.
