Well, that was a lot closer than I thought it would be. You have to give Teague credit for getting the boys up and about and staying in the game after last week's demoralising effort.
Realistically, without Jones and McKay, we are never going to trouble teams with their full quota of KPPs. Weitering is forced to focus on defending dourly and his intercept marking and creative use of the ball is sacrificed/missed. That said, keeping GWS to 12 goals was a decent effort and a credit to Plowman, Newman, Williamson, Kemp, Stocker and Saad who all found themselves competing against bigger, stronger opponents. I think Kemp is going to be a ripper.
At the other end of the ground, we had three underdone tall forwards, an ageing maestro, and a couple of kids. Scoring 11 goals was admirable, even if 4 of them came from the indefatigable Ed Curnow.
Yes, we conceded a run of goals again, but we fought back and, with an ounce of luck and sighted umpires, we could have snatched the win.
It was nice to see Eddie add to his goal tally but I think that his time has come. Levi was good, and if his knee holds up, I reckon we'll see him running around again next season.
Was that enough for Teague to keep his job? I'd like to think so.
