Well what can I say? I made the trip down the highway and .....
It was awful, pathetic, woeful…. I could go on but….
He is my summary of how I thought the Tiger players went yesterday. Let me add that on yesterday’s performances no-one staked a claim for promotion to the seniors.
Morrison: started at CHB – why?? He struggled down back but when he was finally moved to CHF he looked a lot better. Overall very little impact bur never stopped trying which is saying something considering the disposal and delivery of his teammates.
Pettifer: did OK. Started on the half forward line and rotated into the mid field on occasions. I actually felt sorry for him – he kept presenting and the ball kept going over his head. He did find himself down back later and continued to attack the contest but had very little support.
Dragga: compared to his other games this season this wasn’t one of his best. Though I must say he is moving a lot better than he was this time last season. The big positive for Dragga at the moment is the way he is attacking the ball and going into packs – no fear regarding the knee and that’s got to be a positive. His disposal let him down yesterday on a number of occasions
Marsh: tired hard but didn’t have any impact on the game
Moore: started at FB and got himself out of position a number a times in contests and as result was beated a number of times. Like most of Coburg was let down poor by disposal and decision making. Moved forward late in the game kicked a couple of goals.
Zantuck: did not play
Raines: I like this kid – really needs to bulk up but certainly has some good skills. His kicking at times let him down but on the whole was solid. Would be interested to see how he would go in the big leagues
Foley: Poor kid found himself at FF for a while – which was stupid especially when he is on someone 6 foot. Once moved into the mid field was a lot better. His disposal by hand is excellent in the packs but his kicking let him down at times yesterday
Tuck: started at CHF and tried hard. The one thing you are guaranteed with Tuck is that he makes a contest and if he doesn’t take the mark he will always fights for the ball. I thought he looked a ot better when he played between the HBF and wing. Has to be getting closed to senior selection
I have left the best till last…..
Blumfield: Now I appreciate that he is lacking match fitness but please. He looks so totally disinterested it isn’t funny and his slow. Actually he is BLOODY SLOW! I reckon I could beat him in a sprint and I am a traditional crouch potatoe. The best way I can explain it is like this: he should tear the VFL competition to pieces but yesterday his skill level was awful. His attack on the footy wasn’t there and as a senior player he should do better IMO. If he doesn’t do something quick I reckon he will be spending the rest of his year at Coburg.
I think I have covered everyone who played
