Well done, young man!!

Leaving aside problems caused by poor foot skills and an inability to control use of the ball at the end of quarters, the real problem is the stress put on our midfielders by having to play to a losing ruck match after match.Got smashed in the ruck, Gawn and Jackson monstered us all night.
What a difference it would have made tonight if we had had a tall, mobile ruckman who was able to give our mids a better than even chance of getting first use of the ball.
If we have to go into next season with Pittonet as our main ruckman then we are almost certain to have the same inconsistent results during 2023 as we have had this year.
Probably a credit to our mids we did so well as they had no support from Pittonet.
Jack was more value imho...

Whoever was on Spargo did a great job and Langdon was really nullified as well. Lots of players 'did their job' against quality opposition.

Yes, I think that would certainly be a factor. But it seems more than just the opposition IMO.

Petty is an underated defender too, does a lot of the tough work on players like Charlie so May and Lever can do the pretty intercept stuff...

Yes, that's part of the problem IMO.

I still think Charlie's getting opportunities...it's just he's been a bit fumbly, not following up on some of the contests and reluctant to bend for the ground balls...an injury of sorts perhaps.

Nothing like a heartbreaking loss to bring out all the classless individuals
