Hate losing to this Cheating Footy Club.
Rather than talk about individual performances now I'll save that for later I was shattered we were 14 up
at the last change and we lost by 20. If Jack had not slipped and the FIlth rushed that behind 20 up 5 mins into the last maybe just maybe.... Anyway
My positives were Conca and Batchelor no doubt of the newbies and Helbig likes to get his hands dirty too.
Newman was superb tonight I am so impressed he is really becoming a great leader.
Jack was brilliant and so was Jako.
What gets me is our decision making we have the momentum in the third and in the last before the tide turned we are running forward into space and we don't either hit a target Houli in the last or Nahas tries to take on one too many plaers gets caught or disposes and puts the receiving player under the pump and we turn it over or we just blaze away blindly.
Deledio that clanger turned the game. Can blame him for the error but can't blame him for the game. Edwards is back to his old tricks and someone (Dimma) needs to get into Dusty's head and tell him give it off don't try and fend off 3.
We were in a winning position and we blew it. Carlton were wasteful in front of goal all night and we had a chance to make them pay and we didn't that's what gets me. If we kicked 14 20 in a game I can guarantee the opposition would beat us kicking 18 goals 9.
We are a developing side and these games as these kids mature won't slip from our grasp
Other than that the signs were encouraging, the kids hung in there due to Carlton's wastefulness and we gave ourselves a chance to win. We didn't it hurts cause it was that Filthy Mob but for me there is plenty to work with and I think that tonight's game did nothing to deter me that Dimma has us on the right track. Still think the top two or three will put us to the sword but we will do ourselves no disservice this year.
