Obviously a very disappointing day, however we need to bear in mind that the team will look very different in three or four weeks with the likely re-introduction of all of Yarran, Jamieson, Henderson, Simpson, Kreuzer, Menzel, Byrne (thought he looked good) & potentially Warnock.
Along with unacceptable performances from Bryce Gibbs and Liam Jones, there were simply too many critical turnovers in defence from Buckley, Rowe, Jaksch and Walker today. As painful as it was to watch, I couldn't help but think that we will soon be able to replace Buckley, Rowe & Jaksch with Yarran, Henderson & Jamison respectively, with our pre-season Champion Liam Jones making way for Kreuzer or Menzel.
Today we played with a spine of Rowe, Jaksch, Cripps, Casboult & Jones and in a couple of weeks this is likely to read Jamison, Henderson, Cripps, Kreuzer, Casboult. And, it will be nice to replace Buckley & Walker with Simpson and Yarran, who are cleaner by hand and foot. The changes will also allow Walker to play a third tall forward alongside Casboult & Kreuzer.
Call me crazy, but I think we'll be hard to beat in a fortnight or so.
