To me that was obvious, but a lot of people pointed the finger at Jones and Weitering for having shockers.
I was most disappointed in Simmo, he gather heaps of footy but he burnt team-mates in the process, yet some gave him votes. His game was almost glory hunting, he is a senior and he should deliver better than that.
I was glad to hear BB mention in his presser that he thought Paul Roos comments about our game lacking balance between attack and defence was on the money, and that they have worked hard to address that during the week. BB mentioned the kids tend to go all one way or the other, they play to extremes, and that is no doubt the case.
I expect to see a bit more control and tempo this week, attacking when the opportunity arises, and holding when we have to. I hope to see a far more team orientated effort!
Think you need to get recalibrated because you are a bit off with that assessment.
Nobody that i can recall was bagging out Jones. He made some mistakes, but he saved our butts several times too.
Weitering is not getting blasted because he got outmarked in 1 contest with Dustin Martin.
You can bag out Simmo, but i'm pretty sure the coaches voted him 3rd BOG behind Cripps and Martin.
