This game was another good step in the right direction. A direction which shows quite clearly that what is an issue at our club is not the bloke who sits in the senior coaches chair. Flavour of the month John Barker has shown us what will happen next year without some serious intervention.
I don't buy all this current 'injury' bollocks that has been going on.
Kreuzer is playing better than any ruckman before him.
Warnock is not missed.
Judd obviously is, but he wasn't coming back next year anyway, so it doesn't matter one way or another.
Daisy+Walker are both done for the year, both had been injured and borderline best 22 before that.
We've lost 2 irish players who are as green as green can be. Would their inclusion make us a much better side?
Gibbs is probably the only player we are missing that is clearly hurting us....but then again, he's been missing for large parts of the year as well.
So why exactly are our 'injuries' such an issue? Spin coming from the club to excuse our tanking efforts IMHO.
North are not a great side.
We are a terrible side.
In regards to an earlier post...
Carrazzo has agreed to umpire for a year in a 'lower league' before being elevated to a higher league (VFL or AFL?) with all things going well. In short, this is his last year with us.
