The good:
Cottrell's first game, deserves to play next week, his turn of speed will be something special.
TDK. His 2nd qtr against NN was something for us all to get excited about.
Zachery's return. Should be a small forward for a while, quick reflexes, opportunistic goals and good defensive pressure.
Kennedy. Especially his first half. Imposed himself and took strong grabs. Coming along nicely.
Setters coming along nicely.
Walsh. Has shaken off the 2nd year blues very nicely.
Willo. Still a little fumbly, perhaps lacking a little confidence but improving slowly but surely.
The bad:
Again with the 4-7 goal turnaround, FFS. This time it was 30 pts. Sheesh, opposition sides will be scheduling their 4-7 goal run-on against us. I was deeply concerned when I saw the human Valium, Barker, talking with the mids at half time. And we started the 3rd without the intensity and tackling desperation of the first half... and this let the Weagles have a sniff.
Losing Martin.
So so:
Still not sold on Newnes.
Sammo gets dragged deep into defence and then he's rooted. Further up the ground... dangerous.
Murphy. Gets plenty and gave his all today but his occasional short steps and inability to really hurt opponents with his possessions is now an issue. Surely must retire and not get a contract renewal.
Crippa - take a deep breath and delegate, share the load. Oh, and let's take our time when shooting for goal and that missed mark... gulp, we looked a little nervous and didn't attack the aggott to ensure we marked it.
More bad:
You will seldom hear anything about umpires from me but who the fck is umpire 22? Appalling.
I repeat... the 4-7 goal opposition run-ons. FFS
Ps When we learn to sustain our best, our tenacity re tackling, we will beat anyone, anywhere.
