Seriously mate an 11 point loss without Walker, Gibbs, Menzel, Docherty, Rowe, Carazzo, Ellard, Thomas and an injured Everitt and Cripps is hardly soul crushing stuff. Boekhorst was the only really substandard performance. Whiley, Johnson and Holman deserve another crack.
Ummmm......never said it was soul-crushing, far out, where'd that come from? Interesting interpretation to say the least. FMD I said it was always gonna be tough when 7 players from the previous week's win weren't on the park halfway through the last quarter, that the forward line was terrible this week (fact), Kreuzer was ordinary (fact) and that Whiley, Boekhorst and Johnson may as well have not been out there (fact). If you think Johnson was anything close to okay, then you need to watch the game again.
I also ended my post by saying that if we kicked straight, we win.......yep, that sure sounds as though I thought it soul-crushing doesn't it? Sheesh......
