Not sure how a second gamer like Polson can be potted yet some of these blokes who continually spud it up can still get games and slide on relatively unchallenged. Weitering I don't mind so much because his body is not right he is being stupidly thrown to the wolves. Byrne should be playing in the two's; can't see how anyone could think he was ready after coming back from serious injury.
Casboult is on a hiding to nothing today.
Can't run at Witts or he gives away a free. Can't outruck him. We might as well put him to FF and let someone else ruck.
Our problem is we have had NO clean possession all game and those few time we have managed to get control of the footy we have turned it over. I have rarely seen such poor hand skills at this level and what is it with the half volley foot passes? Even SPS is doing it.
Simmo gave away that STUPID goal and we lost momentum. It reminded me of the game against Essendon* where he kicked it out on the full with a few seconds to go and we ended up not winning it. He has never been a good chopper of the footy.
The only highlight so far was that missed hanger.
Can't work out why at one end a player can pull his opponent off the footy and take a mark for a goal and at the other end it's a free to the back man.
I can't see us winning. Desite having a lot of the possies and field position, we are just not in it..
