Happy to bank the 4 points but that’s where it stops.
Terrible display of what is the highest level of AFL in the country. All jokes aside seen far better skills in a local under 18 games than that display.
Stopping a team transitioning from defence is a major concern. Ball comes out way too easy when we kick a behind and rarely see us locking it in.
How odd is it when you have the previous 2 years Coleman medalists playing together and they consistently compete for the same ball have no clue still how to separate and play with each other rather then spoiling each other and then when they get a unless it on their preferred side under 30 metres out neither of them have any sort of a regular routine to go back and nail the goal. How do you win an award like that and then have no confidence at all to do what you are paid to do.
Newman was vital in the win and thought Jack was important too. Cripps had leather poisoning but thought he wasn’t as damaging as he had been with half those touches. Still tried his ar5e off as usual and liked seeing him tear into the team in the 1/4 time huddle.
Look forward to when the game is over at half time or 3/4 time and we can just watch without fear of losing. Genuine top tier teams crush weaker teams and we need to start getting that ruthless side into our game. Giving teams a sniff that they can win late in games is nerve racking for the fans and means every week is a tough slog. Good to kill the game early so we can have a lighter end to the games we should win comfortably.
Maybe next week.
