Best win in years.
Our mistakes and poor use of the ball nearly cost us the win. The usual suspects of course. Robinson near the end with a stupid pass. the bloke can't hit a target at the best of times let alone under pressure. Rowe and White were not our worst tonight, and I thought White improved a lot from last week. Rowe still makes too many mistakes but was better today.
I was very pleased to see Mick tear strips off Thouey for his cr@p play.
But, all in all, a teriffic win,aqnd BUCKLEY, will be a great player for this club.
GO BLUES

Thought Rowe, Jamo and White were very very good.
Jamieson was good, White a huge improvement on what he's been serving up.
BUT, while Rowe used his body a lot and was good in that area, he dropped an easy chest mark, he could have taken an overhead mark uncontested, but went with a double fist punch, he couldn't hit a target in the third quarter with his kick and kicked the ball out of bounds, even though he had plenty of time. He's a panicker and lacks confidence. If you are not nervous when he's one out with an opponent, then you haven't been watching him.
I keep saying this. I would love him to succeed and take his game up a notch where he becomes as reliable a defender as a Maxwell, a Glass, even a Jamieson. But, I doubt that he either has the football brain or the attributes to do so.
Bignic you wont find a bigger critic of Rowe than me. However, I think his endeavour and unorthodoxness (made up a word) got the better of the WC fwds tonite. Cant ask for more than that I'm afraid.
