In hindsight, as gutted as I am by the result, glad I can see coaching for long term benefit. Went out at half time, thinking for us to win Waite had to be moved off Hurley, and Gibbs off Watson.
From what I understand, neither occurred. Waite forward isn't the long term answer. I assume it's only a matter of time before we recruit a backman or a fit Watson supercedes him down there too.
We played Gibbs in the midfield, it didn't work out. Beats him beating the Spider Ricos of the competition down back every week.
We're better off for both in the long run.
@#$%&! Essendon*****.
That's true actually was thinking during the 3rd qtr that it looked like Waite was sooking at having to play back on Hurley but was glad that the swap wasn't made.
Hendo will hold us up front & might be time for Waite to retire this year, I'd rather get smacked playing a kid who can grow into the role than lose playing a 30 yr old next year.
Two of the more baffling decisions in recent times include:
- Waite being offered a 3 year contract; and
- Waite being included in the leadership group
He needs to be moved on quickly
The club realised 2 years too late that he was never going to be the answer in relation to a KPF
Is this the 3rd year of that Waite deal of have is there another year left, I can't remember?
I'm actually beginning to think we aint going to win a flag as long as we have a no.1 pick running around in the side. We cut corners pretty much to get those guys, yeah we were rubbish during that period but I've always felt we traded away a bit of our soul to get the picks. You win or lose with the cattle you have and I think we were trying to be too smart around then.
