We got within 3 goals of Port, I'd have taken that in the lead up to the game WITH Charlie playing.
We have so many players under 50 games. We are developing and from what I see the future is looking bright.
Out Fasolo, thanks but no, not now, not ever again.
Polson, well done. You've been given many chances and now you've grabbed your opportunity. Well played.
Gov was great, so too Walsh, Dow & Samo. I could go on.
We aren't far off. Losing is shit but we are clearly headed in the right direction.
You weren't watching the game I was watching.
If you think that tripe was acceptable, you are part of the problem.
They played two of a possible quarters of footy. Same crap as last week. They got off to a good start and then stopped doing what they were doing and reverted to the safe stuff. Enter Port. It was last year's Richmond game all over again. They have learnt nothing in 53 weeks.
Polson kicked a good goal but was otherwise unsighted.
Fasolo did nothing but neither did any of our small forwards because our mids have no concept of how to deliver the ball into the F50. We can make decent players look shit in a short period of time.
Port's players under 50 games showed our players under 50 games how to run and back up. They had two players with one game experience that played better than half our mids with 40 games.
Gov did SFA. He has shown us little of what he is capable of.
Walsh and Dow went OK.
If I were to suggest we play Dow as a half back flanker, I would get shouted down and rightly so but we have put Garlett there against every footy instinct in his body and scream for him to be dropped. The kid isn't made to be a defender he is made to run and carry and fly for moty once a week. He is being asked to do something he can't do. When the ball flies at him, he has to stop himself from launching because if he misses it, it might result in a goal. I'm not suggesting he is Nat Fyfe but we'll never know unless we give him a go. That's a coach's decision to play im out of position and then tell him not to use natural ability.
We are a million miles away unless they play four quarters a week and stop doing the stupid stuff that costs us on the rebound.
