Lewis’ game was hard to assess. He did kick 2 goals and made McGovern accountable but missing those 2 set shots was very costly. After hooking the first he didn’t adjust for the second. Very poor from a leader and experienced player. BT was going off his head about the clueless goal kicking. It has to be a coaching issue. Hearing Goodwin at his presser makes me think he doesn’t get it.
Good effort. Clarrie and Fritsch magnificent. Brayshaw showed signs and May was good. Breathtaking incompetence in front of goal. Time to declare the Preuss experiment a fail. Umpires were putrid.
Despite the injuries our effort or lack there of has been unacceptable. Essenscum were without 6 - 8 of their top 22 but found a way to win last night. We started the year with a poor attitude, our game plan was found out and the coaches have been asleep at the wheel. Very disillusioned.
my concern is that apart from our injuries many players have not progressed, and many have regressed - Spargo, Brayshaw, Oliver, Hibberd, Stretch, Hannan, , TMac, Weed, OMac, ANB, Fritsch, Garlett, Jetta. Salem and Frost the only big improvers.
