They had a crape soft ruck in Stanley who was well beat by Pittonet and played the likes of Narkle on Cripps and did zero homework on our players and played with total arrogance. Cripps and Docherty were BOG wallpapering the cracks again, check out the stats of our other mids that night...Martin excepted. Geelong were crap but we fell in thanks to Eddie laying that tackle in the middle of the ground and Ablett missing an easy goal.
Ratten had the kryptonite for Cripps with Steele, was smart enough to cover Docherty too and the rest of the Von Trapp kids couldnt handle it apart from Martin.
Marshall was always going to be tough work for Pittonet given his athletic ability and Ratten didnt really rest him either and give us a break..
