Overall I was happy with our effort but just disappointed in a few individual efforts and the bewildering decision to not play Blakely who is proven at the level and could’ve helped even up the midfield battle.
The first quarter. That’s the Tabs he’s capable of. He was pumped and ready to kill mode. Honestly, let him kick with his right! On his left he overthinks.They dominated clearances. Tapped out the back to their defensive side where they gained a clear mark then just chipped up boundary lines, bombed it into Darling and Kennedy and that was the game. Keep the ball in play and make some of the lesser eagles player panic and their skills drop away pretty fast. Their contested marking was great though this game.
We tried to be a lot more daring, using the middle and taking riskier kicks. Skills still a work in progress. We dropped our heads in the third and stopped running and creating.
Probably doesn't need to be mentioned but the Tabs/Lobb misses were super deflating. If we nabbed those I think we could have won. I just want to shake Tabs sometimes and scream you are the key forward, act like one. I want to see the bloke demand to be the bloke who wins the game. I think he thinks more about the consequences of missing. He should watch the MJ doc or something.
The fact that McCarthy and Matera ain’t in this team is a bad sign for those two. Matera would’ve been handy as a small forward around the packs, but Banfield at least is fit and treats AFL as a profession. Matera and Cam need to take that approach.Banfield and Schultz were like actual traffic cones. Colyer not much better. To think that Frederick has been sitting on the timber all season waiting for game time behind the likes of these guys. Serong was probably our best after half time. None of these guys would have seen game time yet if we were fully fit squad. None of the kids have let us down yet. Stop playing list cloggers who won’t be around in 2 or 3 years time and pump games into lad who will like Frederick.
Fredericks is a revelation. Smarts, Skills and Speed. Can see him on the wing in 3 years.
