Dear Horse,
I'm sorry but I just don't have the strength to watch another game that Tadhg loses for us. Stewie was strong enough to stand down when he was letting the team down, I wish Tadhg would show the same character. Is that the third game he's personally cost us more than our losing margin?
I've heard that you are freezing TDL out. After his very half-hearted effort in a non-tackle that led to a Bombers goal I understand what you mean. He's a clever player but if he doesn't play with more effort than that he's welcome to drop back to the 2s.
I've often thought that Goodsie was a brilliant player but erratic. The past few games I've seen him try to carry the whole team. It's impressive to watch but there must be times when he wonders why he does it, especially after just renewing his contract. It'd be nice if some of the other senior players stepped up or stepped out.
This week a friend invited me the Hamilton Island for the races in a fortnight but I said I couldn't make it because it's the weekend of the Saints game. Tonight I texted to say I can be on the island that Sunday after all. I've already asked three people if they want my pass and they've said that ANZ just isn't worth the effort of getting out there.
This year some of the kids have been very impressive (Sam particularly) although Parker seems to be a bit of show pony when a pass off could have got us a couple more goals tonight. I hope they have a great off season and come back ready to go for 2012. It's sad that not being able to go up a gear against a tired team tonight - and giving the Crows their only win in a few months has finished 2011 for us. A few times it's been fun but there's been a lot of frustration, too. Devising a forward line might be a good idea for 2012 for a start.
Cheers
Go Swannies
