Kerryn H was brilliant and Charlotte W were brilliant. Mua, as you said, Krudd, has been an excellent pick-up. Her athleticism is great. However, her disposal puts your heart in your mouth every time. Give her some time, but I don't think that disposal will ever be her strength. Nor a few others, but that is another tale.
I was a little disappointed in Lucy McEvoy's game, and Katie Loynes as well, but their negative efforts, especially in the centre square, were brilliant. The 'Aints did have a good centre square set-up, that caught us out a few times. Also, they caught us a few times with their pace from the centre. We could do with some, but that is for the next draft.
If we had played with the same commitment against Collingwood, we would not have lost.
re pace...
I think we have plenty from Gee, Dalton and Walker. But they are outside runners who are perhaps too light on to do the grunt work.
So the only time we are really exposed for pace is from the centre square hitouts. Saints got a few goals directly from that.
If we continue to play like that, i'm not sure there is a team that could beat us, nevermind just collingwood.
