From what I saw I didn't get any "light at the end of the tunnel" feeling. To me it was same old, same old.
Wood was my BOG till he tired in the last, Juddy had to show everyone how it was done with 3 opposition players on his back, and Cripps and Docherty showed they are the future.
Byrne's first game was depressing because his 3 or 4 kicks were purposeful, effective, constructive, AND ACCURATE. This from a kid who didn't grow up playing the code. Yet time and time again, as has been the pattern now for 10 years, his senior clubmates turned the ball over at crucial times with poorly thought out actions or reactions.
Watching it on TV I was disgusted at how often there would be a Carlton player closest to a 'free' footy yet a Juiced up Fruit Loop would come diving in from nowhere to take possession relegating the formerly closest Blues player to a spectator. The player we all know who CANNOT be tarred with this brush is Simmo. But, it pains me to say it, Kade's decision making and disposal at crucial times is deplorable. As others have pointed out before - we either have players with no heart who have silky skills, or bull terriers with no skills.
Even Yarran's haymaker, which is being lauded by some, was a lazy act. Much rather see him put his body on the line when there's no hope of him gaining a stat but which will benefit the team in some other way. CheatsFC are pathetic. It was unacceptable to lose to this mob.
