Thought we would win as I dont rate Port but Weitering stood up, Cripps was his usual self, Harry's marking was great, McGovern contributed, SPS had a decent game and I'll even credit my whipping boy Polson witha good goal and he made a good tackle or two as well and wasnt our worst.
Philips was handy but Lycett and Ryder wore him down...Ports kids surprised as well....Butters, Rozee and Dursma are not a bad pickup......
Tough in the wet and the Port bigger bodies helped...Motlop's class finishing was part of the difference as well....
Losing Charlie hurt us more than Port losing Amon and Watts, we lost structure and it will be interesting how Bolton structures the team vs the Swans next week....
I dont see him being sacked this season either....think we need to acknowledge the comp is tighter than we thought and other teams have improved more than we envisaged...
Yep.
This sums it up. We were ok for a young side.
The problem I'm seeing is that Walsh is already gone past many a seasoned player in our team.
He's a first year player.
Have we molly coddled too many?
Or is lack of competition for sports an issue.?
