They few times we have managed to get on TV and we've screwed up badly each time. It is almost enough to want us NOT to be televised if we are going to produce rubbish like that.
10-15 players need chopping..its time the likes of Simpson, Docherty, Cripps etc had some real decent footballers to play with instead of the garbage we have on the list masquerading as AFL standard players......
I have been watching my recording of the game as I was out for most of the day. I am glad I did not see it live.
Some statistics that came up through the game:
Northern Blues are bottom of the tackle list. Stone motherless last. In the first quarter we tackled like we meant it. Then what happened?
Centre Clearances: Can't remember which number we were, but it was bottom 3.
Contested Ball: Also hopeless.
Considering how these things are strengths for the seniors, how come they are so bad in the NBs?
Development League:
