DP joined on the leg joke. & we ran with it for a bit.
Little fella is quite the comic.
Spoke to Crowey too, he backed it up. I asked about Kobes hammie, “12 weeks mate, that’s a barstard. Off the bone?”
Thankfully the answer was no, just a really bad and high one, right up in the buttock. Going to take a while to heal.
I put the question to him I saw on Blitz, as to why it had happened. Not warmed up enough, too much training, not enough, … I said I thought it’s just one of those things that can happen first game into the seniors and you suddenly just push that bit harder??
He said that was a possibility, but it was more the position he got himself into bending over the ball and then turning awkwardly while the thing was at full stretch.
Then we collectively lamented for Smack doing his.
He seemed just as devastated as Blitz is that he got zapped again when hitting form.
Langer’s got it 25 times but I didn’t feel it was overly damaging. His midfield impact is usually finding team mates and putting them into space. Today was a lot more scrappy, inside handballs that often stayed inside the congestion. But he did get hands on the footy so that’s a positive.
Draper’s game I found hard to rate, simply because the opposition wasn’t great. Kicked a goal out the throw in in the third with embarrassing ease, moved his opponent under the ball with minimal contact. I’d prefer him to Clarke though, this kid can play.
