I'm hoarse from my all too frequent umpiring advice 😮💨
6 days on, we're up against the other best in the business.
Rest, recover, review, reset. Go Blues
I find yelling at the screen or at the umps when at the ground about as futile as the players arguing the point with them. Yeah there were some bad ones missed, but there were plenty they didn't get either. When you watched them just get on with it and we were carrying on about them, they made us pay every time. They are such a professional outfit, at the moment they just dont lose focus. I've just always been a bit meh about umpiring, had we not have butchered the ball, we could have easily won. Make no mistake, we did a lot right, we also did too much wrong (mainly skill errors under their pressure). C'est la vie.
Lost opportunity against the best in the business right now. Look at the stats and you'd reckon we'd won. 21 more I50s but just butchered the ball in front of goal and around the ground. Other than Weiters the defence was spanked today more so early on. They are well coached, well drilled and as the commentators said do everything well. What they are right now is what we need to become, simple as that. Our best IS good enough.
We need to keep a close eye on Myers. I'd run Cottrell on him and make him accountable. Maybe put Acres on Cameron and make Cameron gut run up and down all day.
I reckon Cameron could gut run toe to toe with Acres all day long. He has a massive tank but I agree would be a good match up.
