Footy is often about timing, we are light on for talls due to injury and we run into Stkilda with 4 good ins and especially their trump card ruck duo in Ryder and Marshall playing together and while TDK was brave and got his share of hitouts it didnt work with Jack tonight imo and we were hurt in the ruck and around the ground especially. Some good coaching from Ratten with Hill running loose early off half back and we helped them out by kicking poorly for goal when we had momentum our way. They had injuries in the last quarter which should have helped us bu it probably inspired them and it was one of those games where we couldnt do much right.
Cripps and Walsh won plenty of ball but didnt really impact the game and I even thought the reliable Hewett was off his game as well. Sinclair was probably BOG and appeared to be playing off half back so I'm not sure who his man was(Honey?) but he didnt spend much time with the Stkilda player who racked them up and started a lot of their attacks.
Membrey likes playing us but I didnt blame Plowman as some of his goals were not the result of poor play by Plowman and I felt for Kemp who was monstered down back but battled on.
LOB had a shocker and Cerra was very average but back after injury he can be forgiven for being under par...
Saints are rubbish imo which makes a loss hard to take but like I said its all about timing in footy and we probably copped the Saints with one of their better teams picked and we probably had one of our worst teams in terms of matchups.
I'd be expecting to rebound hard and flog WC next game hopefully with Weitering back....
