We actually did ok in the hitouts and stoppages where it was even in the main, our troubles came when the ball was in open play where we fooled around with it too much, turned it over and ended up chasing tail and getting caught by the harder working Hawks on the overlap and eventually we stopped chasing and then ran out of gas completely when the bench was so depleted.
Didnt see Pittonet as a bad player and I thought he broke even with Meek who has been dominating, both he and the maligned often dropped, often made sub Kennedy can hold their heads up as players who fought it out imo.
re: Voss....normally Id question his tactics and lacks of moves but I thought we were out worked and were happy to play a non physical keepings off game where we couldnt generate enough run to penetrate the Hawks defense but took the easy short kick in an arc around the 50m mark racking up stats but going nowhere apart from when Cripps tried to do too much out of frustration and barge his way through their defense.
Lot of talk about Russell but there needs to be more talk about the list management and composition of the list and lack of depth.
A lot of these injury prone players were injury prone when they were recruited and thats where the mistakes where made....
The midfield needs an overhaul and while you always need contested players we need contested players with pace and who kick goals......
