JSOS? Jack of all trades great back ip player but without be bias he is not a starting 18 player.
Williams ? Most on here bagged the guy except when he was moved forward - saying when we had a healthy list he is on the edge now he is one of the reasons we lose. Nope im not buying it.
If we cant beat a mid road team at home with a top 4 spot on the line we are also just a mid road team. Losers make excuses the champion teams get it done against everyone but maybe the very top. Port are not that and the team we fielded should have got it done but we failed.
It is what it is. We are now in a fight again to make the 8 and games against Pies hawks and even saints are no sure thing so unless out form improves we will drop to the bottom of the 8.
I started to foolishly believe we were better. We are not.
Martin starred late last year when it mattered. He was vital. While he is on our list and he's not playing then.we miss that. JSOS available a very handy, and would have been tonight with McKay out.
Pies lost R20, 21 and 23 last year, Swan's have losr 3 of their last 4. Lots of ebbs and flows, especially this year.
My issue is, the last 4 weeks, why do.we play a random qtr of premiership style football then look like we are cooked. Until then, if we got a lead and the other sides came back abit, we would just lift and bury them in 15 min Now we burst to a lead, then look like we are dead. Have to be in a hard block of training. Hopefully that part hasn't be stuffed up by Vossy. Until recently, even Carlton rarely gave up big leads and lost.
