AFL Rd 12 Post Game Passing Carlton vs Melbourne

[cookie2]

I can't get out of my mind a passage of play in the second quarter when we ran the ball close to the half forward line and our player chose to kick long and high to Motlop who was caught out standing between two Melbourne players who were at least 15 centimetres taller.

Of course the ball was immediately sent back to their forward line with our players out of position.

The only people I can commend are our fitness staff.  Because of brain fades and  such poor skill levels which cause so many turnovers during a game, our players must expend at least twenty five percent more energy than the opposition players,  yet they are able to keep disappointing supporters for the full four quarters.

I vividly recall that kick and remarking to myself at the time "WTF!".
