Was at the Game! My thoughts ....

[yogie2space]

I was right behind the goals yesterday and saw Kornes (Gun) and Ebert take those marks! Some one said that it would of been good to have another tall defender! But I thought that in that last 5 min they should of dropped Taylor back for that whole 5 min just to stop those marks! in the 3rd term Port dropped Brogan back and he did well! Just a thought! Interested to see what other think! Port had a better Strategy yesterday! Umpires where not so good either!

Jacobs may have been handy yesterday. In fact yes he was needed!

Brogan did nothing when he was in defence for them he couldnt get to a contest in time and was always a step behind.

We definatly needed another defender and Tails marking ability would have certainly been handy. I would love for DJ to be in, but it just seems there is something behind the scenes going on.

If the defenders weren't too scared to kick the ball, if they stop handballing to someone standing still with an opposition player standing next to him, if the players up the ground worked harder to get free and create an option.....If, If.

Oh, and I was under the big screen.

Why? Did it fall on you?

Yeah probably easy to take pot shots at the coach when we lose close games!!But IMO thought we self imploded bigtime yesterday in the last quarter where we were outplayed and outcoached!!Full credit to power for the self belief they showed to win the match!But for what was at stake to be 7 points up with 1:30 secs on the clock and lose is choking in one of the worst ways possible!!FLOOD,FLOOD,FLOOD,FLOOD,!

cox does it for west coke all the time. in fact he won them the primership. and almost won them the '05' one as well. granted tails isnt in the same league as coz but he is becoming a good contested mark in the back half.

on the subject of a ruckman in the back half.
with only 2 ruck spots available, and bailey expected to be in for a few games next year, would campbell be able to play full back in a few games? i personally dont think we need him, but there is a lot of talk about this full back issue.
there is no doubt about his ability i wouldnt think. maybe just his attitude after yesterday.

just throwing it out there.

I totally agree with your, there were many times this year when either Campbell or Taylor saved us goals. I could not, for the life of me, understand why AC did not put one down the back..It may just have won us the game...

put aside the last two minutes how did we look?

havent seen any of the game but heard how good we played, apart from those crucial minutes.........
