The control we had in the game should have led to a bigger lead at half time, Omeara kept them in the game and kept winning the ball against the odds which helped
keep them in reasonable touch at half time.
I think most of us who have been watching footy for a while knew Hawthorn would come at us and that 5-6 goals wasnt enough.
I heard the same waffle last time we played Hawthorn and Mitchell was untagged and BOG again......his possies dont count, he isnt damaging etc etc yet he got the three brownlow votes. Again I hear the faithful cry that Rockliff didnt hurt us in the Port game...surprise surprise another 40 possie game after he racked up 44 the previous week and helped Port win the game....yet again he ran around like he had Ebola without an opponent, who else would let that happen after his previous outing netted him 44 possies.
Are we slow learners?.........I hear the excuse but it will take a player like Ed Curnow out of the game and reduce his effectiveness :o...well Ed hasnt been overly effective at half forward apart from one game where he fluked a few goals. I dont see GWS playing DeBeor at half forward, he plays on the opposition best players and takes them down allowing his more talented mates an easier time.
Its like letting Steph Curry from Golden State just waltz up to the three point line 20 times a game and have free shots without a hand in his face.....
