David Teague was very good and Waite while patchy showed he is still improving....French was adequate in the ruck against the odds.
Stevens battled hard with his sore knee and showed some spirit ....
Fevola tried for partof the game and then gave it away when Scarlett went onto him and stopped chasing..
I gotta admit I am getting sick and tired of Teague playing on much taller players. For my mind Teague got a bath tonight. Sure he always puts it and never drops his eye off the ball, but he got beaten fair and square by young Playfair tonight. I also don't understand why when he is well in the clear he doesn't mark the ball. All he seems to do is punch the ball away which is a nil result. If he took the uncontested mark then we would have a chance to be 50m further up the ground.
Why don't we play Morell CHB like last year and then use Whitnall on another backman relieving Teague to someone his height or to allow Whitnall to go forward?
And Stevens while he gets a lot of the ball he just turns it over too much and doesn't deliver to the forwards anywhere near as well as he should be.
Can someone tell me where our long kicking game has gone?
Sorry this is a positive thread, but I am just responding to comments above.
I gotta say that the 2nd quarter and some of the 3rd quarter was positive. They really showed how we could play if we really put our mind to it. I am hoping that this period will stick into their minds and give them confidence for next week.
