If our coaches follow the fan trend and come out of Thursday night worried about Plowman we are properly forked for 2023, because there were probably another 6 or 8 players far worse on the night.
Young had a Barry Crocker, fans will give him a pass because he came good late with some intercept marks, but early on when it was up for grabs he was a traffic cone. When the angry Crow sausage makers came out all aggressive, it looks like Young's sausage and beans retracted into a safe space somewhere behind his liver!
Young's Nocturnum Horribilis was almost equalled by SoJ and TDK, who both offered little succour to desperate fans desperate for someone somewhere with some effective effort, sure they give effort, but it isn't enough it actually has to achieve something!
(PS: Full apologies, I realise to avoid offense I must never mention SoJ in critical comments!)
Cowan's and Hollands are kids, they are showing signs of fatigue and they need a chop out now, but if Honey is the next best thing we have on the books we are royally screwed, Honey was effectively on from the 1st quarter and was basically invisible for 3/4s, I didn't think this was possible but he made LoB look like a clone of the Dominator!
Without Owies to do the deep running, Durdin and Motlop have almost zero impact, Thursday night their rudderless chook running made Paul Bower look like a tactical genius. Motlop found himself in a footrace with larger slower opponents and chose the swan dive over the gut run, he is just a kid but it's a horrible habit to get into. To make up for what they don't do, Durdin and Motlop would have to kick three each every game just to break even!
Despite perhaps being one of our better players on the day, for the second week in a row what the feck was BigH thinking? He's a Titanic, 115kg x +200cm with a straight line momentum run at the goals blocked by a single angry midget with attitude and BigH thinks it's a good time to channel Baryshnikov! FFS BigH, get some VHS copies of Plugger and learn how to intimidate, or perhaps more relevantly ponder what you saw from Walker and Fogarty at the other end of the ground!
Not sure what to say or do about Fisher, but as each week passes he's looking more like the Bonafide Charles Darwin Type Specimen for the genus Stabilus Ponyus, surely he is carry an injury or something, because he is just not the Fish we know and I'm fecked if I can work out how he is getting a starting run!
You have to have some attitude to play high level team contact sport, our attitude seems to be "Meek!"
Now, back to the nurturing! :o
