I can understand young kids making bad skill errors but when your leaders are constantly doing it, what hope have we got. Some of Murphy's kicking and handballing was diabolical. First quarter we are on the attack with some quick handpassing and Murphy handballs it directly to a Dee 2 metres away. This is our Captain. And constantly picking the wrong option and handpassing to players who are tackled as soon as they receive it.
And we are behind with time running out and Gibbs kicks across field (instead of down field) and it was never going to get to it's target. Goal. That's another one of our leaders.
I get this year will be frustrating and I also get that the guys gave 100% today. But when our so called 'A Graders' are making these errors, it doesn't set much of an example for the kids to follow.
Armfield was disgraceful.
I think it was the kids and Simpson and Kruezer that kept us in that game.
With you JC....you can add E.Curnow to those players as well....turnovers at critical times too.....I'll add Docherty's non spoil of Garlett to that list too....Garlett being such a strong bodied marking machine...not.
Plowman played very well and being a young player I can forgive him but that missed tackle in the last 10 minutes was also a shocker...think it was Harmes who just waltzed through our blokes and when he got to Plowman he just walked straight through the tackle....hoping next week vs the old enemy will bring out the best of our senior players...
