It's Happening Again.........
........Ben Mathews made a mistake and I'm feeling like shit as a result.
When will Roosy and a hell of a lot of fans get the message that this guy is PAST IT. One poor handpass into space late in a match and we lose by a goal when we should of been more than able to have worked the ball down the ground for a score and a win to go 2-2 and match our record from the same point as last season.
Still on a brighter note, we as a team played our best match of the season, we got alot of the ball but allowed Melbourne to win via some pretty poor use of the ball going forward and letting Yze, Davey and Robertson do as they liked up forward. How we also allowed them to outstay us when they have one fit player for the entire second half is beyond me. Again its down to the lack of work from our midfield group.
A pisspoor start to third term didn't help and some umpiring that wasn't paid both ways to both sides again cost us dearly. We nearly got lucky and we go away with a loss but today we showed that we are at least nearly hitting form and with Tadhg back in at least we close to 100% team wise.
Good to see McVeigh and Malceski also put in good showings, pity about their last two shots at goal. McVeigh ripped off and Malceski unlucky at the end. Also good to see Unco FINALLY get some possessions. Hall needs to really pull his finger out and impose on matches more and for the love god - O'KEFEE AND GOODES JUST DO SOMETHING. Good to see Schneider and Buchanan play well.
But thats pretty much it. We lost a match we should of won and frankly we are now 1-3 because of a group of lazy footballers, one or two who put in no matter what and no luck whatsoever. We need to move onto 2006 now boys from 2005. What's been done is done, time to re-load and try and do it again.
SYDNEY: 4.2, 6.6, 9.10, 13.14 (92)
MELBOURNE: 3.3, 7.5, 10.6, 15.7 (97)
GOALS: Hall 3, Schneider 2, Richards, O'Keefe, O'Loughlin, Buchanan, Davis, Malceski, Ablett, McVeigh
Best Swan on Ground: Buchanan or Schneider - take your pick, they as good as each other to me.
Rising Star: Nick Malceski - His star keeps rising.
