McPharlin, Ibbo, Spurr, Sutcliffe and A Pearce. Good players, but not an above-average kick amongst them. Those are the blokes currently entrusted with launching counter-attacks from defence. If people think some of us overestimate Johnno's importance, watch closely those blokes trying to move the ball from defence in his absence. It's grim. Duff looked calcified last week, but at least he can kick a footy.
Griff was ok, but if Hendrix only had 7 touches against a rubbish side people would be questioning his effort (Zac had 9 against Hawthorn, for example).
I'm glad people see something in Tabs, because for the life of me I don't.
ballas going off with an injury would have caused me a great deal of concern last year. Last night, I was wondering whether our production would dip at all. I hope the little champ is ok and finds some form.
Our midfield is so good that against a rubbish side they don't need to get out of second gear, but they'll need to find an extra one against Hawthorn.
How good is Hilly when he can just play footy! Our other midfielders owe him for wearing the tag most weeks.
