Excellent football summaryExactly this. I feel this season has been death by 1000 papercuts. Unpopular opinion but I understood the first five losses (maybe apart from Hawthorn), that round one Brisbane game killed us with injuries not just the ones we saw Butters, Rozee, Alir, Gray Clurey Duursma etc but the ones we didn’t hear about. But since round 6 it’s been a ride of which team is going to show up today and who can withstand another jab in the knee, shoulder or ankle to play out a game. Charlie was an example of that yesterday, he was hobbling before he started the game after injuring himself last week.
Yesterday I had walk to away from the telly, in the second quarter we saw Collingwood pushing the ball forward at any cost while some of our guys….And those wasted opportunities in the final quarter, I’d love to see what happens when Georgiardis reviews his games I get it that he’s only a kid but sometimes it’s really hard to watch. DBJ and Ollie back to the just kick it and see what happens.
The only positive note I can find is the future, Rozee looked guttered about the loss as did Butters - they both played well. Lachie Jones to me is a classic no BS port player and will be a star. Rome Burgoyne (year 10) will play with his brother in a few years and I can’t wait for it - Jase is all class.
We missed Houston’s class in the backlines. When it comes to our future captain I think it’s time for a change and I’d love to see Houston considered, brilliant skills reliable and level headed.
Finally, what is it with us and milestone games?
