So, here we are again! Big game, big build up, big crowd and the mighty Iron come up with a dire performance. How many times have we seen that over the years, I thought it was Tamworth who were supposed to be overawed by the occasion. Outplayed by a team short on skill but big on energy and enthusiasm, they can even afford to carry a luxury player who doesn’t kick the ball much but throws it a long way. Maybe not fair to comment on individuals but I’m going to do it anyway.
Fitzsimons – kept us in the game, distribution (with the odd exception) was outstanding, why can’t the outfield players pass like that?
Ogle – top notch
Clunan – offers nothing going forward
Scales – worst game in an Iron shirt
Butterfield – showed in flashes but not enough, why has he stopped shooting?
Beestin – not fit or not bothered, you decide.
Elliott – can’t hold the ball up and looks like he’s forgotten how to score.
Wilson – 10 for effort but no end product.
The rest – average (generous in some cases)
Management team – Are they? Were they there?? Were they watching??? Mussy was impressive on the 4th officials’ board though.
Looks like being a long ‘rest of season’.
