Round 2 2010

It was a little bit disappointing to go down by 19 points at the end of game after the guys worked so hard to claw their way back into the game. Due to a few poor ball handling mistakes and some poor kicking, we lost the game for ourselves. But the boys did do some brilliant plays. Which must be accounted for when thinking of the match. This weekend we have Essendon. Even though the Bombers haven't won a game yet this season, they always dig deep when playing the Blues. We haven't beaten the Bombers since 2007 and with the rivalry that comes when these two teams play together, we will be looking for that much needed win against them. Especially after losing in such unfortunate circumstances last week.
One the bright side, we do have Juddy back next week and I'm looking forward to seeing him play his first premiership match for 2010. I haven't seen some of our boys looking so fit before. Jamo will be captaining this week and I'm sure he will do a great job. He has alot of support behind him which I'm sure he will appreciate. Regardless of who our captain is, our team works as a whole unit. Each player takes responsibility for his own actions.
It is disappointing to see the amount of silly actions that have led to suspensions already this year. While I'm sure the guys don't go out there week in and week out to knock someone out, some incidents could have been avoided. Meanwhile some that should've been reported have not. I am hoping this year that the umpires can get things right. For too long now things have been let go, rules have been misinterpreted from one umpire to the next. I know it isn't an easy job, but I'm pretty sure there's a way where they can all carry out their jobs with the same level of understanding and expectation. For us fans we seem to be able to do that just fine.
Until next week, GAME ON!!!
