with his reading of the play and taking his opportunities.
Cripps was down but that wasnt a bad thing and a few other players stepped up to pick up the slack. Liked Casboults game and he is a different player after going down back and getting some ball and it seems to have lifted his confidence.
Ugly win but thats how you have to do it sometimes as you get dragged down to lesser teams level, GC are not very good and without Lynch and May dont have much
to build around, if those two had played today I'm not so sure we would have won but you can only beat whats on the park.
re: Deluca...felt the speed of the game and didnt have much left in the tank, couple of good moments but needs an AFL pre season.
re: Obrien...still a weak link IMO and I dont get what others see in him, kicking is erratic, sometimes good and then he just gives the ball away with
no pressure applied often with kicks that go out on the full.
Good games from the two old blokes down back in Simpson and Thomas, remain unconvinced about Lang and still dont rate him....Liked Setterfields game, nothing too flash about how plays but he contests well and plays an old fashioned solid game, ditto for Jack who continued his good form from his previous games.
Kreuzer had a tough opponent in Witts and struggled in the ruck but kept on keeping even when he got whacked in the head and he gives you 100% effort every week.
Good win IMO and Teague keeps the training wheels off for another week...
I want Plowman to succeed but his good is more than offset by his poor decision making under pressure. Hopefully he improves in time but he is by far our worst at turnining the ball over at critical times. Dow, ECurniw and Simpson also need to improve in this regard.
