I thought we were gonna get hammered by 10 + goals they way we were going in the 1st.
Good fightback after the start...... no complaint about effort... we tried and just fell short.
10.6.66 pretty much sums it up..... we cant score
Da Di Da Di Dar..Da Di Da Di Dar..Da Di Da Di Da Di Darrr ...Darrr Darr.. We are the NAVY BLUES !!

Saints have been playing some of the hottest football in the competition recently so to take it up to them and lead through the last qtr shows we have progressed.
Some blunders in front of goals and well as some baffling umpiring stopped the game being a cliff hanger late.

Midfield got swamped by numbers in the end, and other than 2-3 more mids for the rotation we need a CHF target badly. Very very badly.
We don't have the forward line to kick a winning score based on 35 or so F5o entries, so kudos to the defensive efforts to keep us within striking distance for most of the game.
Really worried about Weeters long term, we're killing him playing him up forward when he is so obviously hurting.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Seems to me we need a key forward - McKay, Jones or Jaksch need to come in
Weiters to replace White to add some polish and class to an already unbelievable good defence.
personally : out Fisher, White - in: Cunners, Jones/McKay

Not sure why the focus on Fisher? Cripps screwed up, White a big blunder, ditto Daisy.
Then there's the multitude of blatant, deliberate throw the Sainte got away with....almost bizarre.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

I must admit in that first quarter i was a little worried that it was going to be a blowout. But to the boys credit they fought back into the game and at one stage we even had the lead for a couple minutes.
Lets face it, we didn't have our best day on the park, Doc and Charlie I thought were terrific though. In the past we would have been smashed by 10 goals. Personally, what speaks volumes for me is that even though we didn't have a great day, we only went down by 19 points. We didn't lose any confidence with our game plan and our lads are much better for the experience. I cant remember anytime that they dropped their heads and gave up.
With our development and list management it wont be long before we pass the Aints. Our list shows growth every week and I'm lovin it.
