Re: RD 1 - Blues Lose To Tigers (Aftermatch Angst & Teeth Gnashing)

Geez Cripps disappointed me last night......moves like a bulldozer & just no impact on the game whatsoever. After his last NAB challenge game in particular, my expectations of him were extremely optimistic, needs to turnaround last's performance real quick.
Another point of irk for me last night was Clem Smith's kicking.......yikes, looks like yet another butcher to me. Yes, he wasn't alone (Bryce Gibbs, I'm looking at you), but for a young bloke looking to make his way on the big stage - FMD, most of his kicks didn't even spin like drop punts, as he sliced through the ball at point-of-contact. Had he not kicked a footy before last night? There's no excuse for that.
Yarran is diabolical in one-on-one contests, have always felt that.....but when we're bad, that part of his game gets exposed big time.
