Grim stuff from a team that cant get much lower.
Casboult played a very good game, had more presence around the ground and finishing with four goals is a very good return. Well done. Other good efforts were by Bell, who is really improving as a player, despite disposal lapses here and there. Docherty put in a good effort. Cripps did ok. Boekhorst ran to the right places and gave himself opportunities, hopefully he keeps backing himself. And they are about it really, as i am struggling to find any other winners.
Our field kicking continues to be simply dreadful and not at an acceptable standard for league football. Despite winning clearences well in the first half, we turned the ball over with devestating regularity. Biggest issue for mine is the poor midfield work that leads to a clearence being aimlessly booted forward, high and long and easily cut off. Terrible football.
Walker was horrific and not sure why he is worth playing really as his mistakes and ease that we went to ground cost goals. Buckly is a real worry. Still undersized and not as fast as he needs to be be to make up for his slight build. 3 years on the list suggests he won't be around for much longer. Everitt is one of those unfortunate cases of a tall player that plays small and has little influence. Gibbs just wants out, and exemplified by his over the head handpass that went straight to an opponent. Let him seek a trade as his casual attitude makes Ryan Houlihan look like a contested ball maniac.
Just a mess. Consistently congested forward line, poor kicking forward and a lack of run. When Bell won the footy (second quarter i think) at half back and ran forward and had no one to kick to i knew we were going to lose. Play had been around half back, not at all deep and yet we had no options. Lazy and dispirited.
Only round 6 and it has been a long season. We are looking at the longest season since...last season...
