Been saying it on these forums for a couple of years.....until we draft/trade in players who can actually kick properly, we're destined for the lower regions of the ladder for a few more years. I doubt you'd find anyone you would say is "elite" with ball in hand on our list. That first 15 minutes yesterday was as bad as it's been....against the bottom side. When i saw that Walker and Talia were outs for them, I thought yep, this is one where we can actually dominate and win by a bit of a margin....maybe the players and coaches went into it with the same mindset?
Absolutely p#ss poor skills and footy smarts again. During the game a graphic was put up about consecutive goals conceded by us in each game this year and it made for scary reading...in fact it's been a blight on Teague's coaching tenure to date IMO.
Read this morning that Papley has committed to Sydney so maybe time to put a line through that one. If we can't trade in one or two very, very good midfielders with elite kicking skills, then we're up against it. Use our first round draft picks (this year and next if needed) and chase some Free Agents like Williams from GWS.
And don't get me started on McGovern....got a few late possessions but when the heat was on in that first quarter he was as he has been the last few weeks, a non-entity. If any club is stupid enough to be prepared to take him on, then we should do that deal.
