Lance Whitnall is a selfish footballer. In the last quarter on the right HBF, Russell was getting the ball, had got the ball, put the foot down and bloody Lance in trying to get the ball, knocks him and Russell loses the ball.
Why the hell didn't Lance shepherd? He's got a big enough body, he was in the right position.
If he was really footy smart, he would have realised that had he shepherded, Russell would have got away and set up play with a switch to the left.
That was the cream on the cake for me. When you have a captain being selfish, what kind of tone does that set for the rest of the team?
i also noticed an act of selfishness from lance on saturday night
mooney had just come on to replace gibb's direct opponent,
ball was at the other end of the ground
lance was on hawkins
gibbs yelled out to lance that they swap = lance on mooney, gibbs on hawkins,
still not a great match up for gibbs, but better than him being on mooney, lance just waved gibbs away telling him no change was going to happen
gibbs was then smart enough to yell out to thornton and work out a swap between the 2 of them
