about 3 of us here saw the game and most of the rest want to slit their wrists cos we lost ?
i reckon we were at full pelt for the first half of the first quarter and then we shut off
the umpires were attrocious - 7 50 metre penalties in the game
5 to them 2 to us - i think 7 goals resulted from them.
we didnt play at all in the last qtr which was when freo ran away with it - they got a bit excited kicking towards the vocal freo crowd behind the goals, shit they even ran to them after the game like they had won something meaninful
we were witches hats in the midfield - zero pressure at all - at first i was pissed off watching it happen thinking it was poor execution of the zone - i have since realised we really didnt go in that hard at all
i think operative 1 of this game was no injuries
if you want soemthing to be slightly worried about - sandilands murdered us - but he will murder most teams - and jacobs probably did the best out of kruez , hammer and himself in combatting the big mans advantage
even at most of the stoppages we didnt really display any setups at all - freo had 2 men behind sandilands who would tap it back they would then go sideways and then straight forward - no pressure at all
and running out of defence was comical - it was like the dockers had the plague and we didnt want to catch it.
i dont want to sound like that flower hawks supporter and come on and say we werent trying - but i honestly do not think we implemented many if any of the tactics we will see come round 1
if we show the pressure in the midfield against richmond we did yesterday i reckon ratten will storm out of the coaches box with an uzi and mow down the midfielders he would be that angry - yesterday i dont think he cared that much.
and shit yeah it was damn hot , the sun was piercing.
