Pretty average for our forwards when 2 of their key defenders received 9 votes between them and one took probably the match saving mark.
Especially when one defender is 188cm and the other is 191cm.
The fact is our forwards were pretty ordinary and the entries into the F50 were even more so.
Harry kicked three but the reality is, they were peaks in an ordinary game. He gave away several frees in key moments of the game in tactically horrible places on the ground that allowed the PA defence to clear the D50. His game the week before with lots of tackles, ground ball gets, open play.... Look where he led against Port. Over into the pockets. That makes it easy for the defence to punch it out, makes the eventual shot harder and opens up the space in front of goals for the lead that never comes or the defender that does.
Levi had a mare and missed one from 11 metres out DIF. He would be the first to admit that.
Mitch did OK but he doesn't get enough of the footy to make a difference when Harry is just running around the forward line giving away frees and then bobbing up to kick a goal. Harry is a beast like Dixon. he should be made to sit in front of the Dixon highlight reel [i]a la [i] 'A Clockwork Orange' until he realises that's what a power forward does.
Eddie had to take a speccy just to get a look early.
Gibbo played pretty well but his best goal was out of his ear.
Cunners had some nice cameos but should have hit up Levi instead of going for goal off his left too far out.
If we consistently bomb it long into the F50 where the talls are going to jump against each other and free up the sweeper, of course they are going to get the votes. If someone takes mark after mark in defence and ten when he doesn't take the mark he gets a stupid free, of course he is going to get votes.
Wake up peeps.
