Agree, if rather a kid like OFarrell who is only going to get better than a mistake prone hack like McG.  Senior players who cause more issues with bad play than good have killed us this year.

McGovern is good in a good team.
Good at the Crows, crap when he first came to us, good then crap again.
Lazy kick out early in the first quarter from McGovern resulting in a goal sums up his career.

Ive not seen a team start a season in such poor physical condition and not build as the season wore on.

Ive also not seen a team do what we have done this season, where the form lines early were pretty poor aside from a handful of players, and rather have the rest build form, we have had more drop out of form as the season has gone on.

Its like the harder they try, the more they stuff it.

Finally, we have not been the same since they tightened the holding the ball interpretation which has resulted in the ultra fast ball movement we are seeing now.  Its opened the game up, but I cant fathom how a guy having one armed held whilst taking posession gets pinged for not being able to get it loose.


I think the dropping out of form as the season has progressed can be explained to certain extent by the fact that players like Cripps and Weitering, in fact every player, have had to shoulder an extra responsibility due to a reduction in support around them.
They're forced to carry an extra load because of missing players.
That reaches a point where their own form suffers.
Cripps seemed better last night.
Weitering's looking a bit worse for the wear...he'd be much more comfortable with players like Silvagni, Newman...even Saad all on deck.
