I can't believe i just wasted the time required to get through all that crap! There's 5 or so minutes of my life i'll never get back.
Keep it in perspective. The bloke had a bad game ok?
It happens. Mick Martyn had plenty at the same age.
Sure, i was gutted with it all on Sunday, but shouldnt the bigger question be asked why the match up was allowed to continue for so long?
Who is the strongest put of all our defensive key possie types?
Leigh Brown would be my guess.
He obviously wasn't playing the surrogate ruckman role he's been doing the last month and a bit, he was barely existant up forward so why the hell wasnt he given more than 20 seconds of Gherig?
Strength wise, he could have matched him in the one-on-one's and i'd back him in the air.
Watt would have been a much more comfortable match up for Reiwoldt, Arch to Hamill and Baird to stick with which ever ******* he was on. Seemed simple to me.
And the move of Porter to the bench and Petrie into the ruck, despite both dominating their positions had me dumbfounded. Perhaps that is for another thread, but it all pointed to one of Laidley and co's worst efforts in the box this year IMO.
