Hopefully Taz takes a leaf out of McLeod's book and responds to Robert Walls' article.

I don't know if anyone wants to see them, but I will try and upload some pics of the game tomorrow.

Once again are very accurate analysis from DaVe86, I mentioned in an earlier post that I thought the decision to start Brodie on McLeod was ridiculous. I didn't think that Tarrant and Rocca were as bad as everyone is making out, they did have 9 scoring shits between them as well as a couple of OOB, If they had kicked 7 or 8 goals we would have blown them away and everyone would be talking them up.

I thought our endeavour was pretty good. Again it was very disappointing. We have long forgotten the art of winning. We can still win the ball enough to win the match. Plenty of possession time. Yes the kicking was god awful. That second quarter was embarrassing. But I thought there were quite a few positives:

Cameron Cloke: competes very well. Has a leap, goes hard, reads the play, is even bigger this year. A player of the future. Very exciting what he'll be in two or three years.
Rowe: again very promising. Miskicked a couple times badly like 95% of anxious to impress, young players tend to do early in careers. Keep him in the team every week.
Caracella: a natural forward and will demand the ball more in the future as the players up the ground get to know what he can do.
Rocca: seems to have his leap back again after last year's niggling injury.
Lica: racking up heaps of possessions again. I think his disposal is okay now. Just about leading the AFL for possessions
Shaw: yes 6 ineffective kicks. If he can reduce his disposal errors he is very important to us. Very quick and is starting to improve his shaky confidence each week. Not far off from doing enough to silence the unfair criticism. Carried the ball further than any other player against the Crows.
Leon: Another good game and hopefully keep improving.

Coley is definitely down on confidence. Can't seem to stay on his feet.

Just gotta get back our winning habit. Not easy. Good enough to get in a winning position but missing the ability to know when to close the deal.

Biggest positive was Cam Cloke. Can't wait to see Travis when he's ready. Cam Cloke has his dad's mongrel and reminds me of Brereton a little.
