Straddo, fully agree that our only option is the long bomb. It was stupid when Roly did it and it is still stupid now, especially when we lack talls.
We have lost 10, 11 ?? games in a row to the slime because our game plan under Roly was to kick it to McGovern, Hurn, Glass (we've been doing it that long) Yesterday, our game plan seemed to be to kick it to Jones. Seriously, who allows somebody to take 9 or 10 intercept marks and not react to that in any way, shape or form.
I said it earlier and it's worth repeating, that game was lost before we went onto the ground. We went in too short and left a tall marking forward in the stands. We did not react to anything until late in the last quarter, the players had no idea out there yesterday because they weren't properly prepared and we did stupid things.
One of our leaders in Walters was as bad as anybody. His first 2? 3? disposals were high bombs to a Carlton player. It's hard to aim too much criticism at the youngsters when a bloke with that much experience was doing that.
Agree on Tabs. He's never been a power forward. He would be ideal playing alongside one though but perhaps next time we sell the farm for a strong marking forward, we don't delist them 5 minutes later.
