We played a man down with Walker on the ground. Bolts waited until 1/4 time to drag him (too late). Jogged around chasing the pack or lazily looking for a speccie in the goalsquare ..actually spoilt a Gorringe attempted mark which he had no right to. Unbelievable. The guy has no pace anymore and has lost his leap. If Silvagni can add 5kg of bulk/muscle to his frame surely he is a shoe-in for a leading forward role ?
Why did we play every slow short/stocky player on the list yesterday when St.Kilda had 2 tall forwards and 2 tall backmen out ? Richo must have been mightily relieved to see all our tall backup forwards playing at Box Hill on Saturday. Running us off our feet was always the plan for them...so why did we play our fatigued small & slowish forwards ?
Having Levi as a sole focal point in attack never works and needs sorting before next year. We need Harry, Jakcz & Silvagni in the team ASAP. Look for a specialist Membrey-like leading forward type in the draft as we can't play all the small forwards in the same team (Wright, Army, Lamb, Sumner). Playing our small forwards up on the wing was a recipe for disaster. No defensive angle to their game. We needed Byrne and Boekhurst..true wingmen and ball carriers.
