We are now showing we can be competitive and when it goes well, we can match it with anyone. Problem is, we are still growing and need to get maturity into the newbies so they can sustain effort for longer periods. Curnow played game number 12 or something? We have seen glimpses of what he can do. If he is doing what he is now in 2-3 years time still, fine, have a crack. Its a slow process, piece by piece, be patient, there are clubs in alot worse of a state than us.
Also, dont under estimate what it means to be 2 men down for such a long period of time. Rowe has been one of our more important players. Daisy runs hard and organises the kids out on the ground. The two rotations less hurt us more so than the shocking umpiring IMO.
And as for the Foxtel commentators, I know why I dont pay for a full Foxtel subscription. Unlistenable. (if that's not a word I just made one up).
Here here.
You've got to remember the limited base the kids are functioning on. You hear it endlessly how important PS is. The only factor more important is another PS. No doubt the kids like Samo and Charlie need to be well managed following injury and serious ill health. We need also to be mindful of the PS limitations of Crippa and young Marchbank. These young guys as well as Plowman for example, will take time and we need to be patient. They'll serve us well if we can manage them well.
Fortunately, our recruiters are well aware of the limits of youth (body - mind). I'm expecting we'll rely on the mature recruits more as the season takes it's toll. Right now the club's doing what it set out to do. Get games into the young ones. I think we're going OK to date. Most "experts" had us winning 1-2 games and we've snatched 3 already.
Go Blues

Wasn't a flogging.
We were still in the game until the last 10 mins.
Hard to run out a game well when you've been playing in the slog with 2 less players for half the game.

We play keepings off BECAUSE we can't score.....and because its a simple game plan that the abundance of kids we have playing can actually get their heads around.
Been saying forever and a day that this year we couldn't expect much of a rise up the ladder for the simple fact we didn't address our forwardline/ability to kick goals in the off-season. Until we do (next offseason i hope) we can expect more of the same more often than not.

We showed in the first Qtr we have the talent & the direction, lack of numbers , injuries hurt us in the second half. Credible performance, but the forward half needs work. SOJ missing gettable early goals cost us & so we didn't capitalise on our dominance . Next week will be an interesting line up Rowe main stay in out defence won't be there for a while, so we will be re tooling our line up.

We are making progress in defence which looks increasingly settled but lack forward movement and pace through the middle.
...
Hope rowe and thomas are ok, but the knee buckling looked bad.
With a young side, in the wet, 2 men down, over in the west, we were ALWAYS going to struggle to run out the game.
re Rowe, i think they said everything else BUT this in the coverage, but IMO, he's done his PCL aka Ruckmans injury.
That usually occurs when the lower leg gets pushed backwards at the knee....as in ruckmen bumping knees at centre bounces.
If that is the case, its better than ACL (12 months) and means he could be back sometimes this season.
Hopefully Jones' injury from the VFL isn't too bad as he should get a call up based on his efforts of late.

SoJ looks like he doesn't want to take shots even when only 25 or 30 out!
We should be managing these kids, not flogging them!
Kicking like Casboult, poor ball drop....Cunningham is another who drops the ball differently and has trouble kicking in a hurry.....Sav could be a fulltime employee soon.
Thankfully we have Williamson who can be used to demonstrate how it should be done....

Re Rowe's injury
Comments I heard suggested it was a medial ligament.
We'll know tomorrow. He's been in top form for the last year and a half. What a blow for us all. Here's hoping it's on the lesser anyways.
All the best to Sam for a speedy recovery. We know he'll manage his rehabilitation with 100% commitment.

Yep, irrelevant shill who is best ignored. This was a tough one for us and a character building experience. Hell we weren't smashed as we once would have been.
