I'm not going to vote in the Jim Park this week because I don't know who to vote for. A spare parts forward line, a spare parts / junior ruck brigade, Walsh ordinary when he never is etc. Just a bad day all round and one that should be forgotten and we move on to next week. All teams have shockers during the season.
Walsh was down because....
1. We were dominated in the ruck by the bloke who has the world record in hitouts.
2. Half our midfield were forced to play forward because our forward line was sitting in the injury room
3. Walsh got more attention as a result of '2' and it proved that he is human after all
4. Our lack of team balance finally broke our confidence and effort was down across the board which hurt him as well.
