Again, late to the discussion so apologies for repeating earlier comments. But seriously frustrating to watch that yesterday. It's hard to believe the team that was out there in the 3rd quarter was the same team that had whipped Hawthorn in the first half. Was texting a mate during the game and neither of us could fathom why Curnow or someone else didn't go to O'Meara. He was the only one keeping them in the game and if he'd been reigned in rather than left to run around on his own, it might've been different. But that aside, the skills in the 3rd quarter were back to what they were last year...and we panicked....scrubby, panic kicks. Even Jones, who'd been superb in the first half, had a brain fade and fell over and gifted them a goal.
Is it just me or is Plowman just absolutely horrible at the moment? Lost count of how many times he turned it over yesterday and at one point in the 3rd quarter when we were running it out of defence he handballed to a bloke standing still with an opponent about to crunch him. I cringe whenever Dow or O'Brien get the footy as they look like a deer caught in the headlights.
The injury to Simpson and possibly Newman will probably save Plowman at selection but Williamson should come in this week along with Kennedy and hopefully Charlie.
