It was a bit of a perfect storn today.
- We had got to a place where we may have thought that natural progression was doing its thing and we just had to turn up (against a bottom side) and we'd go ok. Over confident, and/or not respected our opponent.
- We had lost 4 solid contributors who we could never replace.
- North had gained one key player, Higgins, who was missing the week before.
- We couldn't kick it through the big sticks to save ourselves
- We copped further injuries on the day - Jones, obviously, but Daisy went down early and had to sit on the bench for a concussion check as well (20 mins gone)
- Cripps has been BOG or close enough to it, every game this year. Even though he still topped our fantasy numbers, he was well down for the first time this year.
In a way, its good when all that happens all at once because its less likely to occur again. Get the 'bad week' out of the way and reset back to where you were prior. Hopefully no new injuries and get a few players back etc.
