Was really proud of the boys despite the shalacking we copped. Tackling and endeavour was superb. But the result really was inevitable given that we haven't got the depth. The votes...
3. Johnson - Stood tall all night. Has some exquisite skills.
2. Richo - Battled hard, just didn't have the midfielders feeding it to him often enough.
1. Vardy - Not great, but still, did try, and refused to bow down to the 2 west coast goliaths.
Mentions go out to:
Biddiscombe - crap, but stuck to the task and curtailed Embley's influence pretty effectively
Tivendale - Nice work in the back half. Has a lovely kick when not shooting for goal
Fiora - crap, but a spectacular mark, really great grab, and a few good runs off half back
TyZantuck and Chaffey also did some good things. Bowden continues to mix the good with the cringe-worthy.
Roseberry, McLaren, Wenn: The 3 umpires, or should I say the 3 stooges. Another influential game by the umpires. This game should be made into an instructional video on "how to lose your impartiality". When are we going to have some umpires who have the balls to call it as they see it and stop being swayed by the crowds interstate? The reason the interstate teams are dominating the competition is because any victorian team has to be 5 goals better than the interstate team they are playing in order to win.
FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
