A few passengers today
I said in the pre-game, I had to assume we had a lot of injuries because some players just weren't deserving / earning a spot. We've been clinging to a couple of blokes who just aren't delivering to AFL standards.
Fantasia is now a huge mistake, he might be useful on the track but on game day it's passed him by.
Ollie Hollands is struggling, the kid has got what it takes but he needs time away to regain some confidence.
Fans will jump on the selection of Pitto, but we would have been smashed if not for him today. TDK is having his best season but he's erratic and O'Brien is his bogey man. O'Brien showed today what the new ruck rule means, TDK can't jump over a bloke his size and as a result with O'Brien offering a stiff arm TDK can't get close to the ball. He tries to jump so high he lands off balance and then he is out of the ground contest. TDK would be better to surrender the tap and become a mid.
The commentary from Brown and King was spot on today, as many of us have been saying our MC needs to find a way for us to score some easy goals, at this rate we'll be run into the ground before the mid-season break.
You can't live on the razor's edge and expect never to be cut!
