RD 7 : BLUES Lost To PIES (Lambasting & Liabilities)
In a match where we have been beaten by 5-goals, it should of been a massive blowout if it wasn't for a last quarter rally to kick 8 to make the score look respectable (of sorts).
What was served up in the first three quarters was simply unacceptable tripe of epic proportions. Two goals to three-quarter time is the sort of stuff you'd see in some lower level country league, not by an AFL team.
There was no intensity, little or no fight for 3/4's, appalling skills and without a doubt, some of the worst decision-making I've ever seen in a football match.
Docherty showed he will be a player, Buckley was good again and there were a handful of cameos across the match but overall, when the game was there to be won, we were limp & flaccid.
Too many times our players stood flat-footed and spectated, some were complete passengers.
