Petal…. Right. It is likely because a lot of time you like to make outlandish, majority of the time negative comments about the team in the lead up to games, gets tiresome, esp with the year we having. Sorry for ‘picking’ on you, didn’t know one comment and probably the only one I have made towards you for the year was ‘picking’.
All good. Appreciate the apology. I wouldn’t say I make outlandish commentary before the games but I guess that’s subjective. I’m just passionate and know this team is capable of more. We’ve been building for years and still carry a few ongoing weaknesses but have improved as a unit as a whole. But we should still expect more.
Best performed team of the year, not sure we could have done a whole lot more to this point. We are playing AFL opposition, unfortunately you don’t get to win every game and look a millions bucks doing it every week. It wasn’t so much an apology more pointing out you not really getting ‘picked on’.
It is impossible to play to the peak of your ability physically and/or mentally every week in a long and arduous season, no team has ever gone through a season undefeated, the 2 closest in my time watching the game since the late 90s would be the Bombers in 2000.. losing 1 game and the other the Cats 2008 who lost to the Hawks in the GF.
not going to happen.
Nunez … I’m hurt
Think Andrews will be required to play on Thilthorpe so not sure there will be a whole lot of "dropping off". Particularly if Thilthorpe plays closest to goal which seems a reasonable expectation.
I reckon Lester is a decent matchup for Tex, and Gardiner to Fogarty. On the whole they seem like for like to me.
I think Adams hit the ground pretty heavily in the 2nd quarter of that game. Played on until hurting his chest early in the last.
