Message: [QUOTE="Jedhead, post: 3174987, member: 9518"] After 15 or so minutes of last night's game, for the first time that I can remember I was taken by a feeling of ambivalence. There was no one to get excited about while watching a very mediocre effort from a group of broken individuals. Staggs is usually good value for some excitement, but his lack of service and his woeful ball security shut that avenue down. Tommy Deardon's usual shine was lackluster as well. He had one of his poorer performances last night, but in all fairness he's still learning and some of his attempts to put forwards through holes were wasted by players either being too slow to read the play, or simply not motivated to hit the hole with conviction. I single out Fifita here, but there were others. Oates pulled off a couple of great hits to dislodge the ball but his attempt to catch the ball resembled a childless parent with a wet, newborn. Send him for a week to train with the Brisbane Lions FFS. Kennedy was again noticeable for his long runs onto the ball and I often wonder if he has more improvement or whether we're seeing his best efforts while other more fancied props' arses collect splinters. SOS had one good short kick I can remember that resulted in Darbs scoring, but the rest of his night was unfortunately highlight free. Patty Carrigan and big Haas both put in, but even these two looked like they were going through the motions waiting for the inevitable defeat to ruin the rest of their weekend. Something most bronco supporters can definitely relate to. And Lexie, well mate your efforts to get on the field are to be applauded, but you were obviously so underdone. Seeing you being hit, bent double and then pushed back during a simple one-out hitup has to be counterproductive in terms of leading the young bucks around. It made for very uncomfortable viewing. When the game finally ended I was cold. My misses asked me how we went and commented that she thought we must have been going really well as she never heard me shout or curse once throughout the game. I can't imagine how the players are feeling. Wake me up when it's 2021. [/QUOTE]
