Saw yesterday how important Dixon has been as the big target forward for us this year. Schulz had 2 touches at 1/4 time, had 2 more for the match. Butcher had 2 touches at 1/4 time, had 5 more for the match. Simply had no impact on the game. Throw in 11 touches for Wingard, 12 for Westhoff and just two goals between these 4 and there's the win and loss right there. Same amount of inside 50's, more marks in side 50 and if it wasn't for an outstanding performance from Ebert and Gray we would have been smoked.
Again poor ball use cost us, we aren't ranked 17th for efficient disposal for no reason and I hope this summer the footys are out before Xmas as we are shit by hand and foot. Wines and Mitchell had 50 touches between them and both went at 40%.
Again the skipper was good, Pittard the best of the back 6 and Trengove battled hard against bug Mummy who while taking the points in that contest pretty easily didn't have a huge impact on the game. It was our ball use, again.
So it's officially now season over and I'll sulk for a few days before I work on a post mortem of season '16.
On a side note I got into the 5AA Locker room.You get in an hour before the game starts and the drinks package goes until the end of half time. ( 3 hours ) You watch the players warm up through the double sided mirror, plentiful selection over the bar ( Peroni, thanks ) and trays of food that never seem to stop. Tempura prawns, party pies with mashed peas and sauce ( mini pie floaters ), slow roasted pork belly, salt and pepper chicken, all of it excellent. Only pisser was the seats were in the rain, but, thankfully my normal seats are just above this area in the Riverbank stand so I'd grab a tray of Peroni's and head up to my seat. Monday morning isn't the greatest I must say.....
PAFC. Forever.
LOOK OUT, WE'RE COMING!
