Redleg

2 of the 3 angry Coaches out and hopefully we remove the last one left in the PF.

I note Longmuir wasn’t scared to play a second gamer in a sudden death final. Amiss did ok for them.

IMO Cam Guthrie is the initiator for the Cats. He lifted in the second and so did the Cats. His brother is playing well too.

Saw Weid last night after the game and told him well done last week and he thanked me. Was with Tom Mac and a couple of others. Such a pity that the Weid of the Geelong final a few years ago, could have made a huge difference yesterday.

Well the blinkers must be starting to hurt, because he scratched his left leg at least 30 times, in his 7 minute presser after the game.

He was doing it far earlier in the year.

Scott rested and rotated his stars to have them fresh. We will see if he was smart.

And get soft frees and 50's while he is at it. The Tracc one was an accident and probably self inflicted.

Is there any protective gear for a cracked fibula?

That's a good idea. Bomb it high to the pocket to 5 smalls and Fritta.

Has Scott been smart resting and rotating players to keep them fresh? We look cooked in last quarters.

We will know next week. I am accepting of him going if we can fix issues with our list. Grundy, A key forward from Freo and a pick to get another, plus add JVR, BBB and Tom for a year and we are much better off.

LJ’s worst game of his 50. Terrible.

The G. Our home. Won 2 and lost 7 in last 9 games there. One of the wins was in the last 11 seconds. Fitness? Last quarters this year have killed us. High pressure exposes our poorly skilled players. Forward line problems continue, both scoring and retaining possession.

Spargo would have had 14 possies and 2 goals, if ANB could pass a footy 20 metres half accurately. ANB and Melk tonight made Spargo look like Bobby Skilton.

Swans scored most of their scores from turnovers. ANB is the turnover king and momentum killer in the team and has been for most of the second half of the year? That missed 20 metre kick to Spargo, to set up an easy goal, was the cherry on top of his fumbles and turnovers.

That is the biggest thrashing of Buddy I have ever seen. Buddy had 3 possies late into the last quarter and they were all gifts from the umps.

That's exactly it. Poor skill is exposed under pressure.

No he's not.

That result may be a blessing in disguise. Win tonight and no changes and same midset and we could easily lose a PF. I think if we regroup and make a few changes, we beat the Lions and take a different side and mentality into a PF which might get us another GF. All is not lost, YET. Now stop talking about winning it in front of family and friends. Ban interviews this week. Rejig the forward line, by bringing in another key forward Weid/Tom/JVR, get Bowey in and drop Melk and ANB. When you apply supreme pressure to a side, the poorly skilled ones fall apart, as we saw tonight. 6 OOB on the full and countless disposal errors which cost clearances, turnovers and ultimately goals. Yes we can make a PF, but without changes we could stop there.

Too many passengers and lack of skill killing us.

I am sure that he was not unsure and even surer that his team mates were sure, as they all went to the defensive positions for the kick out for a point. I am also sure that no Tiger celebrated the kick, nor did any Lion seem upset that he had goaled. I am unsure if the ARC also had a better angle that hasn’t been shown publicly but am sure that the ARC was very sure as the decision was given quite quickly. When he kicked it I said straight away he had missed and that was the reaction of all the players.

We do have a woman’s team.

Very understandable.

Are the dogs there to mind the casks?
