All ready for the big game. Car'n the Blues!

We had a good dip early in the game and had chances to win but a disappointing fade-out in the end. TDK did a few nice things.

When is the end of the season???  :
I've just about had enough this year - well if I'm honest that happened weeks ago. Just glad I didn't go along.

Fairly low standard by all concerned. The Doggies wouldn't be rapt with much of what they did, and the same applies for us.

Oh well. One game left, and then I can cut the dosage of my meds in half, at least for 6 months.

There is a real stiffness and lack of suppleness with our switch from zone to man on man. Bartel on Access All Areas  stated that whether you call them zones, clusters, webs etc., they're all fine to begin with, but once another team / player starts dominating, it's time to switch and be accountable. I'm not sure whether coaches or players are at fault, but there's plenty of learning and work to be done in the off season. Game sense and fitness must improve dramatically.

MBB, who do you reckon were the chief offenders re losing?
(For me, Murphy & Lang)

Who do you reckon kept us in the game, even looking like we could win, and will be our hope for the 2019 and beyond?
(For me, Charlie, H, Bunsen, Crippa, Dow, O'Brien)

Murph had a shocker and I hardly noticed Lang after qtr time.

Game won right there IMO. Put us well behind i50 count. You're relying on the breeze and lady luck thereafter 

Some good signs there though. A couple of poor umpiring decisions q4 helped Dogs momentum, making the hill too big to climb.

That was a game that showed how bad our coaching is. After 3 years our system of moving the ball going forward is the worst I've seen anywhere. Our players have ability for sure but are being let down by that. Other sides go forward with a structure that can often open other sides up, we have no idea. That cost a quite a decent win. Instead another loss to an ordinary side. One of the most frustrating defeats I've come across. Loved the competitiveness but we want more than that after 3 years.

Bet a decent coach could sort alot of that in a preseason. They love the ability at their disposal.

Party on at SOSs tonight... we, officially, cannot avoid finishing bottom. He slipped the players a valium Gatorade at 3/4 time this week.
