I would blame some of Lids' teammates for standing with their hands on hips ballwatching rather than running to the right positions or leading up the ground. And he wasn't the only one. I remember Howat collecting the ball on the boundary deep in the pocket and rightly kicked to the top of the square. Only problem was not one Tiger decided to stand in or run to that hot spot. We weren't meantally switched on from the start. How about that Eagles mis-kick in the first quarter that floated in the air for eternity only to land in Staker's arms 10m out from goal with 4 Tigers (one was Sugar
) all expecting someone else to go for it
.
The one time Lids did stuff up was when he ran inside 50 and dished the ball off to Richo, who got tackled before he got his boot to the ball, instead of having a running shot himself. At least he was trying to make things happen and get our running game going as did Polo, Raines and Tambling. That run to attract Eagles to him then give to Staff on his own inside 50 was brilliant. The problem for the few who were busting their guts out was we had more passengers than the 5.35pm super express to Frankston
.
