Percentage is crucial for those top spots, if we were such easy beats why didn’t they flog us?
Just because we’ve won 5 out of last 8 (two losses in under a goal), doesn’t mean we’re now finals contenders! There is still a lot to fix but what we’re seeing now is we’ve got a lot of talent to work with and the senior players are playing better than they have for seasons.
Did you really think we were going to beat last years premiers, who have built this team and played together for years? A 4 goal loss for us to them after the 2 months we’ve had is bloody unreal - we had two new players, we have deluca who has played SFA, no:
Kruezer
Jones
Daisy
Three of our top 10(?).
Add to that
Charlie
Doc
McGovern
You're welcome to your opinion Micky, just as I should be...
I have seen every Melbourne game (bar the Dees) and even the Freo game in Perth live.
Yesterday for sure we came up against a good opposition BUT I expected a lot more...irrespective of the outs.
It was a poor effort. Too many players doing the look at me, look at me stuff - and stuffing things up. The team first ethos was out the window.
Way, way too much bombing the ball on the forwards' heads....through the WHOLE game.
Players being slow to react, slow to move it on and slow to present an option to a team mate....and a lot of poor decisions.
Can we play better? Much.
Will we be better against the Tigers? A lot. I think DT would have been disappointed with yesterday's effort (rather than the result per se).
Finals, then 4 in a row!
