That horrific first half would’ve been a lot easier to stomach if we actually followed through with our talk about REGENERATING, and actually played some more kids instead of once again rolling with the same bunch of old blokes who were gifted games last year!
-Grimes is absolutely cooked, he is robbing Brown or Trezise of much needed experience.
-Pickett once again thrown forward in a *smile* role, often playing as the deepest forward in the second half. Just ridiculous.
-McIntosh again gifted a spot on the wing, when Ross definitely had a better season than him last year and should’ve started. Kamdyn wasn’t our worst today but if we’re serious about regenerating then he shouldn’t be playing.
-Prestia is a watch as well. At times today when his opponent got the ball he just wandered around and didn’t even bother chasing. There was a moment in the last quarter where Rowell collected the ball right next to Prestia and ran off, while Prestia just stopped on a dime and watched. Frustrating to say the least!
After a long pre season, to go with that side on paper then serve up that absolute *smile*, can’t help but feel downcast. Keep rolling with all those old blokes and we’ll be “regenerating” for over a decade.
At least Seth Campbell showed something. Prime example why we should be blooding more kids!!
