Put down to the fact we picked 3 KP talls in the forward line where the game was always going to be humid and sweaty. The delievery into the forward line was no worse than GC.
GC had numbers behind the ball and we bombed the ball into our FWD line all night and they had numbers back to rebound, if we picked 1 small forward in the line up maybe we could have crumbed some of the mess.
Also Vickery playing behind was pathetic. Both by Vickery and the kicker. If he's behind... kick it over his head.
lets not lose sight of the fact gcs had dixon,day and lynch in their forward line. were they too tall i dont think so ithey went in with bloody good structure.
we werent too tall, riewoldt vickery and griffiths as the ruck forward is ideal structure. structurally we went into the game spot on. what was wrong is our talls just werent good enough.
humid conditions or not they should have had a field day and didnt give a yelp.
we did pick sml and medium sized forwards. s edwards, mcdonough are sml forwards, petterd is a medium sized forward. did we play any of them forward for any sort of significant time.
