I'm not worried about Buckley.
He is a running defender destined to play the role Simpson currently is, and he'll be good depth too even if he isnt best 22.
Kreuzer on the other hand.... A good ruckman last night would have taken the game by himself.
Murphy was not involved in a lot last night but his involvement was generally good.
Gibbs had a shocker and he only lifted when the game got easier. He must be not 100%.
Perhaps these guys are being asked to sit back more and let the kids work??
I don't know but I bloody well hope so.
No chance. We are simply learning that after all this time (and three and half coaches), some of these blokes are not good enough to lead us to success. They are foot soldiers (on a good day) who pick and choose when to put in and that doesnt cut it any more. They are being shown up by younger more talented footballers who have shown they are prepared to put in for 4 qtrs for 22 weeks +.
