PRO's
AJ - Wow. This kid is a SUPER find. Shut-down role to perfection. Not that i care, but i'd love to see him get a rising star nomination.
BOWER - Has not put a foot wrong this year and is the in-form player of the club. Consistantly wonderful week-in week-out.
FEV & JUDD - finding some much needed form after last week.
SETANTA - Loved his little tap on to Judd, then he ran back into space for judd to kick too (in the end, judd went elsewhere but it was good to see Setanta backing up his efforts rather than just saying 'oh well, i've done my bit).
FISHER - Good to see him back. Wasn't a fan of his last year, but hopefully he can step up this year.
MUPRHY - As good as always.
SETVO - Wow. I actually saw Stevens throw himself on the ball a couple of time. I really enjoyed watching his game. Well done.
CONS's:-
YES CAZZ, there are going to be some "Yeah, But's"...............
KICK INs - AWFULL! despicable. Atrocious. Have we done no work on these all year? It certainly doesn't feel that way. We take our time, which allows the opposistion to man up, then we always kick wide which most of the time, it ends up in a turn over and results in a goal. Why do i see no players leading for the ball? They stand there and wait for it to be kicked to them.
PLAYING THE FLANKS - We have Kreuzer as the only player who is a good tall who can take a contested grab, so why are we playing this 'kicking along the flanks' crap? It's awful. The times we we're kicking goals last night is when we moved it through the corridor and hit a leading forward. I fully believe if we kept playing like that we could have won by 100points.
WEST COAST AREN'T THAT GOOD - seriously, we beat a side that we should have thrashed. West Coast are re-building and we're trying to make a push for the finals. We should have pulverized them.
JORDAN RUSSELL - why am i even bothering to write this but.................who did he play on? I was told to watch him 'Carefully', which i did. All Night! I watched him go to ground 3 times, i watched him make endless mistakes, and i watched him run around On His Own for most of the game picking up a mere 11 possesions (10 of them uncontested, what does that tell you).
What Does He Do to deserve a spot in this team over Anderson or Bannister? Drop Him for god sake.
We have Brisbane (Away), St Kilda, Essendon* and Freo again.................... At the moment, i can see maybe 1 win based on our current style of play and form. 1 win will not keep us in the 8. Whilst i'm happy with the win, surely we can play better football than that! Because if we don't, i can't see us beating any of those teams we have coming up!
