But I agree - Samo in particular - he needs to go from 35 pos on his good days to 25 on his bad (not 16). 5 of his 8 games this year he's been in the teens. He's still miles off unfortunately. Shame because our fortunes are closely tied to his performances in my opinion. He's a real barometer for us.
Its the big possession's that count, ball find its way to Pendlebury who hits up Degoey with the one handed mark who goals.....Cripps misses goal when we could have held a decent lead.
DeGoey kicks that one off the ground out of nothing.....its the big moments where the good teams get us and when we cant deliver.
Agree on Samo, going to very influential if he gets 35 because he uses the ball well but with 16-20 only thats not enough especially vs quality opposition.
