Awake, I posted at half time, that I hoped we would keep attacking the game. We didn't. Your comments about the options for our players looking up the ground being a coaching problem is what some of us have been seeing for a few years now. Jones did show enough to keep on persevering with. Another pre season for him will be invaluable. Johnno was in pain before half time, he battled on and never gave up, but lost effectiveness in the second half. Interesting that he gave the box the "go to hell, I want another goal" message, knowing he has been sacked at the end of the year.
Walters played the old fashioned centremans game, worked hard through the middle and ran hard to take opportunities forward when they presented, was easily our best player and should get Brownlow votes. Cox seemed lost most of the day, is it possible that he was given "tasks" instead of being told to play as a CHF? McCarthy would have been better off playing as the second ruck, let Johnno play as a forward.
Your comments about B Hill's passing to Walters are telling, I believe that Walters is our only player who leads hard AT the kicker, and demands the footy to be kicked into space in front of him. Hill is then able to show the skills we recruited him for.
