We've all said it. 5, 6, 7, 8 unanswered goals kills any confidence we have of moving up the ladder. This, in my mind, is where leadership comes in. Or doesn't. If our leaders are injured, they shouldn't be on the ground.
I know we've had a tough injury run, but we also talk up our depth. I'm not convinced we have depth.
On a positive note, Cunningham is as smooth as they come. I'm pleased he's performing atm. Eddie had his tricks on show and looks like he's enjoying his footy. As is his understudy - Owies. Well done to H. He's finally having a great run of form and showing his potential.
We had the better of the 2nd best team for the best part of 3 quarters....without any real input from two supposed A graders or close to - Cripps and Williams. And a few others doing little too.
Had we kicked a few more of those very gettable goals earlier (SOJ and Fog), I reckon we would have won it. 40 odd up is far more imposing than 27.
Still, it's a loss in the books and we sit 3-5 with tough games ahead....
No excuses for what happened out of the centre in Q4 - that's on DT and his team as much as the players/leaders.
Finals, then 4 in a row!
