Setanta and his mates zero this week. Setanta's been good but the trouble with a couple of them they are flashy and brilliant, like Doughnuts from Collingwood, but I worry whether they all will be able to stand up under the stick. Time will tell on that.
In all fairness, it seemed that the ball wasn't getting into our forwardline very easily.
At times our forward entry was courtesy of Hawks keeping possession by going back.
We got caught in Clarkson's cluster between HB and HF.
They played well.
They looked fired up.
We looked slow and were not first to the ball.
Our rucks certainly did not dominate the clearances. Their mids were hungry and strong at the ball.
They got the ball first and they did well breaking the lines with quick ball movement.
There was a time there with 5 mins to go till the end of 3rdQ, when I thought we could do it.
At least this team gives us hope, because we know when they are feeling fit they are dangerous.
We looked fatigued for much of the game.
Our list atm is decimated by injury/suspension/illness/underdone players. So lets get real.
We can do with Waite, Bower, Walker, Houlihan, Hadley/McLean and Lucas back in the team.
