The opposition run on

[ElwoodBlues1]

I agree with you, all I was saying is we did a lot right and well for 3 qtrs against the second best team in the comp.
As far as the Cripps v Bont argument, Bont has nudged ahead. Better impact player, better leader (from a supporter looking in)  and a slightly more reliable kick for goal.

Think the Bont has bolted ahead, his skills are better and he is a strong unit, in the last quarter we just couldnt restrain him even when he was tackled. Cripps was like Samson but Russell decided to play Deliah and cut his size back  to make him quicker and its been downhill since with him being injured and teams showing him no respect by not playing taggers on him but playing their better mids so they get a free run once the stoppage has finished like I said.
The modern quicker game has caught up with him and when you are slow to start with and then have to carry the team on your back along with your own injuries its made him as much a liability as a weapon.
We did do a lot right but never really had them by the throat and I think we all knew what was coming at 3/4 time.....
