Marchbank managed after 2 games, 1 in the Magoos and 1 at senior level. Someone is ripping the p155 out of us. Perhaps the truth would have had the media all over our fitness dept., again, for all the wrong reasons.
Anyway, an improved side.
No way am I even going to speculate who the sub will be.
Willi won by 5 pts... we did hit the front in the final qtr but just couldn't hang on. Entertaining game with some positives for our AFL listed boys. Liam McMahon 4 gls. Binns, Cowan and Young very good. Mirkov dominated the rucks with 44 hit outs. Liked Billy Wilsons game also. 13.10 12.11 Very ordinary free kick to give Willi the game.
What's with umpire's this year deciding games, now in both comps.
Next week is a must. Our next 3 games after this are against Port in Adelaide, Essendon, Bye, then Geelong. 8 out of the 9 games from GWS on are/were brutal. Gets easier after that but we want to do well the next few weeks.
It has been a tough run for sure but two rucks and three small forwards taking run run away from the middle has been a miserable failure and needs to take ownership. I wont trust the guy with this list if he doesn't.
That's what we had last year when we were killing it. We won 15 from 17 at one stage across the 2 seasons, so can't be too bad. Difference missing Martin, Motlop and Fogarty up forward. Durdin and Fantasia isn't quite the same.
So might be something else. Last night was attitude and effort. Maybe mentally the affect of a 5th consecutive blockbuster with half a side. Dunno. Previous 4 games we went 2-2 against the best with half a side out.
Durdin gets the flick and Fantasia keeps his spot
