Let's be honest for once.
We are cr@p.
The only real talent with a future in that team tonight was Cripps and he lacks leg speed.
Yes, Buckley is a goer, and I need to see more of Graham to gauge whether or not he has any real ability other than going into a pack and falling on the ball.
We don't have a forward line and we definitely don't have a back line, and my grand pappy used to tell me, that without those, "it's bloody hard to win a game son."
Menzel is a disappointment even when he's not injured and that is his problem. With knee reconstructions and bad shoulders, how long can he last at this caper.
Levi, was serviceable, and Sav has definitely improved his kicking. Jones and Tutt are complete waste of spaces. Another great recruiting job well done.
Thomas, can we get a refund please. Walker, completely gone. Forget about underdone, even when he's well done, he is no longer the player he was. The game is too quick and far to hard for him.
Wood, battled manfully against a taller stronger opponent and tried hard.
Bell, this bloke is built like a tank, but totally lacks skill. Dropped easy chest marks, and unlike Cripps whose hands are like super glue and the ball sticks, just kept dropping ball after ball tonight. He makes the same blues every week, and I don't know if he can get better. Yes, he's gutsy, and sometimes in a good team, it's enough. In our team, all the shortcomings are on full display.
Curnow, got absolutely smashed by Hannebery. It was obvious to me, anyway, that he had not recovered after the emotion of last weeks loss when he played his guts out against Sewell.
Henderson. PLEASE DO NOT RESIGN HIM!!. I HEARD THAT HE WANTS TO LEAVE, BUT THE WAY HE IS PLAYING, HE WON"T GET A CLUB TO TAKE HIM. HE CANNOT TAKE A CONTESTED MARK TO SAVE HIS LIFE. It is quite obvious that his heart is just not in it.
Carazzo, lots of possys as usual. I can't think of one time when anything he did or any possession that he had, had an influence on our team or resulted in something good happening.
Armfield, a brainless hack, always was, always will be.
Yarran, the less said the better. As long as the ball is fed to him and he can show off, he's happy. But you can't get him to tackle, or chase after an opponent.
Simpson, usual trying hard job, but at end of career.
Rowe. No comment, except to say that every time he goes near the ball I need a change of nappies. At least I used to when it really mattered. Now it doesn't matter anymore, so I'm saving a fortune on nappies. The fact that this man with such limited ability, a total lack of a football brain, whose second efforts are non-existent, is said to be by some our best player tonight, is all you need to know about where this team is headed unless major changes are made.
Touhy, not a brain to bless himself with. Overrated because he is a long kick. Would not get a game in any top team.
White, a battler.
Docherty, would be good in a good team. Has got ability, still young and will improve if we ever do.
Once again, it absolutely gave me the shiiites that we did not have a set forward line. By that I mean, that Barker did not give instructions to two of his forwards to stay in the forward line AT ALL TIMES. So as per usual, we would get the ball, look up, and there was no one in the forward line to kick it to.
I would have copped a 20 goal defeat, if Barker could have shown just a bit of flair with his game plan.
Longmire had Rampe as a spare man in defence for a lot of the game, and Barker did nothing to counter it.
Cr@p typical Malthouse thinking and coaching.
Anyway, as I said, we are cr@p. Yes, they tried hard, but you blokes have conveniently forgotten that they are paid in some cases up to 6 and 7 times more a year than the posters on this site get. THEY SHOULD BE AT LEAST FKING TRYING!!
And because most of you are so easy to please, you say, look at that, we had more tackles than last week. Yipee!!.
We are in for a long rest of the year.
So sit back, relax, and just count down the weeks until we can forget about this year, and look forward to HOPEFULLY, some improvement next year.
