I think the part that sums up why Gibbs game fell over was late in the 3/4 or maybe early in the 4th, we won a clearance, and Gibbs ended up with the footy at the coal face, and ignored two targets in front of him trying to handball over his shoulder, and straight to a Lion who cleared and goalled.
Game was on the line, and we need blokes to stand up, and a no look handball turnover in the centre of the ground from a ruck contest gives them back to back scoring opportunities.
Not good enough.
Bryce is better than that though.
I think the pressure is causing the players to make stupid decisions on the back of trying to lift the side. Being inspirational doesnt mean playing speculative and spectacular footy, its about doing the 1% and backing up your teamates.
The most inspirational piece of play last season was ironically Dennis Armfield, and Jeffy Garlett who both sprinted about 50 metres, to shepherd an opponent away from Yarran who was bearing down on goals against West Coast.
THAT is what we need, not look away handballs.
