I agree with a lot of Bloodspirit's post.
It puzzles me that Parker, Hanners, Jack and Joey have in four or five months become ordinary players. This is actually almost impossible, so what can it be?
I reckon undisclosed injuries have a lot to do here. Hanners belting in the last quarter of the GF..Parker went in hurt to the GF..Jack had an injury all last year and with increasing age, and possible loss of pace and strength, is struggling to get back to his best. He had a shot from 40m tonight and didn't make the distance for God's sake! Joey is a shadow, and now has that facial injury to contend with as well.
Heeney clearly was not ready physically for tonight..Papley is still some weeks away from the required fitness...Tippett clearly not fit enough yet.
But we bring these guys in and "hope for the best"?
I know we're suffering enormously from missing injured senior guys, and have to play 'not ready yet' kids, but I hate seeing obviously unfit players running around.
Look how that went in the GF..Mills Mcveigh Parker..Rohan..
Thank God Rohan looks to be ready to play at this level (as long as he can forget his non appearance at the GF).
A bit despondent tonight....tomorrow will be brighter...always is.
