Steele always makes Cripps struggle...forget the last part of the game that was junk time and the Saints had throttled back...
Cripps should have started at Full Forward with Eddie and the rest clear out...
Geary on Docherty was a good move, well played Ratten...
Marshall is an athletic kid and Pittonet is more your stand and deliver type ruckman, Levi was useless and Harry even worse but Levi I will cut slack too though as he has been good this season and everyone plays a bad game.
McGovern needs dropping and doesnt suit our setup, but we are stuck with him not only didnt he work hard enough but his man was BOG to half time.
Martin was our best player by a mile and carried the team early....Setterfield and Gibbons battled but dont have the class to match it with the real quality mids and are very lightweight in terms of being physical to opposing players and being able to take over from Cripps.
Newnes has disappointed and Cuningham reverted to his natural state in the wild and was MIA.
Eddie has the smarts but has lost the pace and Butlers speed down the other end was express in comparison.
The lack of physicality in our game is terrible, players choosing to bump bcuase they dont want to risk injury by tackling and just the way the Stkilda bigger bodies menaced our smaller framed players. Cripps still has no help and we dont have enough muscle around the ball to compete when he is held.
Walsh was ok but his disposal needs work but at least he competes...
Murphy and Simpson are finished and Ed Curnow isnt far behind them.
