That was the attempt in the 1st or second quarter. I think it was the 1st. Lazy practice teaches lazy as a way of life. Sure you don't have to completely take a guys head off but Daisy wouldn't have even put a twig like Garlett off with that attempt. Guthrie made our blokes look weak in body, slow by foot, and a lack of awareness from what I saw.
I have read the previous posts, but after watching the game there are some sugar coated reports on player performances. Not to worry as we need to see round one against Richmond. I am starting to worry about this first match.
Tigers will start favourites and Nick Bowen in his AFL preview of our season predicted us to finish 14th...so we are underdogs going into the game which isnt a bad thing IMO.
I dont rate Richmond at all and would be very dissapointed if we lost to them...
Really? Didn't they win 11 straight or something like that (including Sydney round 23)? No way we could've done the same thing.
They did win a string of games and beat the Swans but I still dont rate them...played above themselves IMO.......if we cannot beat them in round 1 then
its going to be a long season...
And Nick Bowen's prophesying may well come true.
14th ? God, is that how the outside world sees us ?
Do you not speak to supporters of other Clubs? Yes thats how they se us. We have become "irrelevant" and have a lot of work to do regain the respect of other Clubs. Once feared, now laughed at.
