Just about nailed it IMO Tommy. Just watched the replay and yes we were ragged round the edges, took poor options at times and made skill errors BUT we had a good go in the first 3 qtrs against the #1 team. We are definitely showing more heart and bearing in mind we were giving valuable game time to young guys like Walsh, Fields and Holman. I think we do have something to work with but again it will come back to our ability to snare more talent in the draft and trade periods and to replace those who don't want to be there or we don't want to be there.
Bingo!
Nice summary, Fluffy One. Totally agree. Good to get a look at what we have. I don't think it is PR or spin to say, as JB is, 'We know where we're at and there is a lot of work to be done' or words to that effect. Considering that Kreuz was probably our only decent big bloke last night for us and considering who is out injured and who is playing injured (Menzel!) last night was not as bad as some might think. We do have a long way to go and a lot to learn but I do believe there are signs we're culturally improving - now we need some better cattle, especially big blokes.
