Watson can't be defended with the "But he hasn't played since round 1" excuse. 'cos he was just as bad in round 1. Papers stamped, it's all over for Matthew.
Warnock's last quarter was disgraceful btw....it's not like he was sprinting down the wings all game. Fancy running out of puff when he hardly runs in the first place. As EB1 said, Levi having to cover for Warnock in the ruck really hurt us.
Pretty sure Simmo was on Brad Hill for a lot of the first half & got slaughtered.
Amazing how 2 of our more maligned shots for goal in Robbo & Levi kicked 7 straight between them, whilst 3 of our better kicks in Docherty, Menzel & Watson all miss deadset sodas. Based on tonight's result, I'd say the Robbo as a permanent/semi-permanent forward worked a treat.
How good is Chris Judd.....yet again. Thought Murphy had a sloppy stinker of a game. He worked hard, but generally, he was poison with ball in his hands.
Hats of to Sam Rowe, who I thought was easily one of our best. With confidence, his composure has improved out of sight. He now picks the right occasion to either mark or spoil, his kicking is pretty sound & he's a really impressive physical competitor.
Really, apart from about 45 mins of football, Hawthorn dealt with us rather soundly....*sigh*. The rest of this season is gonna suck......I'm not looking forward to the pain.....
