To all those who say speed of hand and skill is what matters not foot speed what do you think now?
Teams know we're slow and run us off our feet. It's no secret, we've been slow for years, but have done nothing about it. Our contest work was good enough to make up for it but it was always a weakness and exposed by the best teams.
For a month or 2 now our contest work has been Cripps or bust. It might win Patty a deserved 2nd Brownlow, but as a team it's made us fall off the face of the earth.
I was shocked the amount of times their half backs streamed forward to out number us when they had the ball…it was evident front the first bounce….thats why Motlop got early touches because they didn’t rate him at all and were happy for the ball to be in his hands if for some miracle we won the ball back
I didn’t have the best feel on this one coming in but my God it was evident from minute one that we have no run, are playing injured and sore players and they looked tired….high performance should be burnt to the ground and started again
We don’t have a dangerous third tall…nor a dangerous small forward…we don’t tackle and we don’t lock the ball in the front half because we are slow.
