Cant fault effort, just the execution, so many little mistakes and the goal kicking in the second quarter. Umpiring decisions were terrible and cost us goals, how was Plowmans mark? Should have been cleared out of the 50 instead the next play phase resulted in a West Coast goal.
How was the attack when we played on? Noticed it worked when our senior players didn't get involved. The really good waves forward used Pickett, SPS, Fisher, Boekhurst, Lamb, Docherty, Silvagni and Charlie. Liked what I saw of Williamson's game too, such a hard runner, saw him on the boundary there one time and the ball spilled out, he was stuffed but he dropped his head bum went up and he ran again.
As mentioned before 7 games where we were either level or ahead in the last quarter just shows that the frame work and coaching is right, we just need the players maturation and experience to catch up. I noticed that Lamb has played 46 games and I consider him to be starting to hit the next level on the field, he will be a crafty player and kicks the ball very well with a real games sense.
Pickett was the player that shone out to me this week, fast hard and deadly. I liked Derms comment in that he looks like he starting to believe. Sure he was drafted 3 years ago but less that 10 games and look what he's starting to do, build the tank, keep running hard both ways and wow! Geelong supporters are snickering about the Touhy trade saying they got a steal for Smedts, but this was the trade that got us Marchbank and Pickett, let's revisit that in three years time shall we? >
SPS is a dancing machine, what he can do in a one meter space defies belief, don't worry about calling him the Falls Creek cowboy, call him Matrix cause it does matter how much you throw at him, you just can't touch him.
Fisher got more of the ball this week but and some of his handballs to advantage were top notch, kicking is still an issue but his best game since his debut one.
I woke up this morning knowing it was a loss but feeling like a bit of a win, our younger players all took a shuffle forward this week, mind you West Coast are crap, overrated, protected in the West and old. Dud team. Are Eagles fans the dumbest in the AFL? No idea of the rules or good play just give us another free ump.
