First and foremost let me say that the Marble Range football club demonstrated on the weekend that they are a committed team, a very strong club, and their efforts should be applauded by the football community, especially after their run of injuries during the season. They resinated as a team and held a firm belief in each other. Congratulations, and I wish each of the teams all the very best for the Grand Final.
Simply, we did not play well, we had just too many guys that did not come to play on Saturday... We went into the game without our CHF, FF and FB, with injuries to Wade, Kane and Noddy. We copped 2 major injuries - to Minya and Hunt before half-time and then just did not have the man power to run with and stop the running game of Marble Range. We made many changes but were outplayed by a more determined opposition. To say that we let anyone run free - is fanciful.
Certainly no excuses - no ifs and no buts - Marble Range were better on the day and they won.
There is always going to be questions asked and not answered around our season. We had a talented group who did not make the most of the opportunities presented.
If any of you feel the need to throw barbs then aim them at me - just like some of you have throughout the year. If you feel that I can't coach or that you could do a better job - then thats your opinion - the jobs open now and yours for the taking.
I am simply a coach taking responsibility for a poor performance. Take it as you will.....
well said
Agree.
