What a terrible day. Sad thing is these sorts of losses are not even shocking anymore.
The development of mid field B graders like Kennedy and Lang must be addressed this trade period.
3 full years into a full rebuild and this area is still non competitive. Yes Fisher and Kreuzer were missing today bit they absolutely hammered us in there. And they had no Taranto and no Shiel. Kennedy looks like a decent footballer but is so slow and I hate how when he has a quiet one like today he provides the team with nothing. Lang I seriously cant see what all the hype was about. Might have looked like a decent B-C grade player in a strong Geelong midfield but in ours he looks a dud. Reckon Geelong bent us over again with this guy.
Pickett I don't know about anymore more. Had high hopes for him and yes I know he has had an injury interrupted season but hes another one that just gives nothing when having a quiet day. Its a bad trait IMO.
Wont bother on O'shea, Graham and Polson except to say makes life so much harder when you play 3 down.
Harry made me realise he might just live up to the talk - looks ready to have a breakout season like Charlie did this year, next year.
