We were without Kruezer, Simmo, Newman - key players in our team
We lost Jones for half the game
We debuted Stocker and played willow. Stocker was nowhere near AFL ready and Willo had llittle or no match fitness.
Im not happy about the general lack of heart shown by the team and the loss overall, however, those points I've raised are not excuses, but fact and had a significant bearing on the result.
Ticker (attitude/endeavour/guts/passion) does not know about nor care about age or experience. Look at Walsh.
If Kreuzer, Simpson and Newman are the difference between a hiding and winning... god help us.
Kangabies also lost a key defender... earlier than we did.
As for Stocker and Williamson... mates played with a poor attitude so you can't judge them at all, that kind of p1ss weak attitude goes through a side like a pandemic flu.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
