Bombers are not the old Sheedy bombers anymore...not much fight or spite.......Goddard didnt bother to fight back vs Lamb at all, he is over it and I expect a media career at the end of season for him.
We won the game but still have plenty of problems, a lot of our players looked good vs feeble opposition IMO.....you look at BomberBlitz and the common theme was weak hearted effort from the EFC....
Agree to a point but out team has lots of development in front of them.
I can’t see their mids getting tougher but Dow, a fit and in form Kennedy, Pickett and one or two more at this years draft and trade period and we could have some serious mids.
SPS still worries me.
Concerned about an article saying we are looking at extending Murphy’s contract for another 2 years.
Lang, OBrien, Williamson and Docherty could all help add strength, speed and kicking skills over the next few years.
We definitely need to replace a few playing yesterday but we probably have 6-7 best 20 players out atm.
