FFC + BBFC = BBFFC
All Australian
U have got to b kiddding! i went down to watch this game and at no stage other than the "first ten minutes" did melb high look like being in the game. any1 who went down would agree it was an absolute flogging. Im sure Melb high will bounce back though iv'e heard afew players were missing.
Secondly, ajax had a winner almost in every possition across the ground....Mh had afew winners(number 3), and another small toughnut but other then that were outclassed. Interesting to note number 23 got 180 DT point and was on 11 at qtr time...pretty massive
MHS were discustingly bad theres no doubting this.
Injuries and 1st selection have influenced team performance undoubtingly, saturday was another example of this with MHS playing the last quarter and a half with 14 fit players, 16 on the field.
Injuries will continue to cause havoc among the team, with a broken jaw, busted AC joint, hip strain and a badly fractured finger to a small toughnut all resulting from the game against ajax, which will affect numbers in the following weeks.
Like all teams, injuries affect performance at varying intensities....it just so happens that weve been hit hard early in the season.
and on a side note, if #23 could learn to kick, he'd be a very very good footballer
*edit
I think home ground advantage was worth atleast 100-110 points, so really if you look at it reasonably.....it was a gallant 5 goal loss. Its these close losses that really frustrate a side, if we had just layed that one more shepard or didnt rush that behind....arghhh we will rue this defeat.
