Jezza I agree walking out of the Suns game felt crap after scoring a 100 pts. Yes we lost, but it was the way we lost. Forget the 100 points, it was the lack of skills and the constant turnovers that made it horrible to watch. The 100 points felt like 50 because we played a crap brand of footy, playing catch up the whole way and it never looked exciting at all. We only got to100 points because the Suns let us, knowing they had the game in the bag.
Contrast that to last nights game. A couple of kicks in it the whole game, fast free flowing football punctuated with great composure coming out of defence by both teams, (something we can't do), and multiple lead changes. It was a great game to watch. Thats what I want to see. It has been proven we can't beat Hawthorn playing the stifling defence game of Rolys, so why not have a licence to run and stun and maybe even some find players along the way who have the skills to execute that type of game. If I walked away from last nights game knowing my team who were expected to be rubbish this season, had pushed the triple Premiers to within a kick, Id be pretty excited looking towards the future, Unfortunately Im not really that excited at all. Lets see how we fare against the Crows next week and the Hawks in a few weeks time. Im pretty certain we won't come within a few kicks of either of them.
