My god. A post that's not full of doom and gloom! It's hard to know what to make of it. We joke in the days leading up to a NAB cup game that a loss will have the ferals out, ripping up their memberships. But still I didn't really believe that the reaction would be so much.... coach to be sacked, no one can kick, no one can kick a goal...whole team duds.....
I loved the look of Rance, Vickery, Thomson, Post. Angus is making progress. Mitch Morton showed a couple of second efforts. Jack took a great one hand mark that showed strength. Nathan Brown is looking very sleek in the middle. Ben Cousins didn't do a hammy, but he did do enough to indicate that he's going to be a nice addition to the team.
Their kicking for goal was off. But all teams go through that at some stage. Better now than later. Their kicking and decision making under pressure is off. But that happens in a 5 month lay off. That's what the pre-season is for.
I'm still looking forward to the real thing in March. :gotigers
