Small Durds just doesn't do enough.
Thank the gods for Crippa, Pitto, Walsh, Weiters, Acres, Chugga and H.
In hindsight the MC probably made the wrong call benching Owies and keeping Durdin on, Owies problem wasn't that he wasn't leading to the right spaces, but that we didn't kick to his advantage, much the same for Charlie and BigH.
Too many times we had smalls, mediums free inside F50, even Kennedy and Cripps, and yet we kicked it on the head of Charlie or BigH. Our blokes are 30m away in space and nobody at the crumb. That is bad decision making / bad vision by the kicker, not the fault of the forwards.
Kennedy's best game this season, gets better as each week passes, also Acres best so far this season, might get them both kick started for 2024. TDK had a good game as well.
Imagine if Dangflog wasn't permitted to dive on the pill and take out opponents legs without penalty? Go back and watch the replay, twice you'll see him grab the boots of Carlton players without getting close to the footy, he gets a free pass for flopping like a squid out of water.
Hard to believe some wanted no BigH in the 22 at seasons start, hard to imagine us being competitive without him!
