The buck stops at the top and as the captain more is expected of you than the foot soldiers. Unfair? maybe but it goes with the job. The fact is both our captains were terrible.
He did not seemed overall confident of winning, " Its a massive challenge away from home in a hostile environment" sounds to me like he is hoping for a better performance and a small margin loss.
No of course not, yarra park is not going to fly and on that basis where is the only available land around the centre of Melbourne?
Docklands!
the only other alternatives are in the outer surburbs and the Club ( as opposed to anyone else) is clinging to the idea that it has to be near the G.
That makes Docklands the only possibility.
I find it hard to believe that Keilty or Stretch would have contributed less than Viney and Jones as for Pruess he played in the Casey game and it would seem held his own in a winning team.
If Gawn was less than 100% as his performance showed why not play a second Ruckman seemed to work ok for the Power.
The simple fact is we picked half fit players and paid the ultimate price I.e. A loss
Toughness by supporters achieves zero. The only ones who can win a game are the players. It could equally be said that supporters with blind optimism should stop complaining about realists and sit down.
To a large extent it just depends on your view and opinion and as this is a fan site either accept a different view or stop reading them.
You are confident going to Geelong with poor form in the last four games? Add that we have won there twice in 30 years and I struggle with where your confidence comes from.
Looks like a body builder, i.e. muscle bound and slow. Also has no tank. One decent effort and he takes minutes to recover. Number 3 pick going nowhere at present.
