Who or what do we need to instill a bit of Mongrel into some of or players.
And on that note, who in the upcoming draft has that type of edge to them.
Hate saying it but in all honesty we have been the pansy team for many a year now.
Just never seem to be able to get anyone with the skill and the Mongrel to boot.
It makes me sick when I watch other teams and they all seem to have the one's that will stand up and lift the team when it counts.
Geelong - Mooney, even Ablett (Really hard at it)
WCE - Kerr (Angry little ant) and others
Dawks - Brown Hodge
Could find 1 or more in allmost all teams.
and then us, Just an example - Petticoat, could be a better than average forward if he wasn't such a girl at times.
Who is there to instill a bit of Mongrel in the youngsters and
the new blokes. U know I would love to see lids with an angry look on his face, would improve him as a player in leaps IMO. never seen him angry NEVER.
What about someone like Polak, he is looking good. But you just never expect him to charge through and clean anyone up. And as that is my perception ? wouldn't that also be of teams playing us.
Wouldn't it improve us as a team if they had to think that if some of our guys (Lids, Newy, Polak, Simmo even Foles) when offered the opportunity would give you something to go on with, instead of ducking around and playing the ball.
We need to get a bit of REAL ANGER into our team.
And even a hit man, or a gutless snipe would be fine with me.
At least the others would look on and maybe feel ashamed and have a bit of a go.
CUB over and out
