Usually I am relatively positive and do like to see the good in a match / player, but the game on Friday was dire JV. Honestly we just seemed to totally forget how to play football. We probably had an ok 20 minute spell and it was ok in that we scored twice and they did not.
Obviously the Travel to Perth coupled with effectively playing football from Midnight to 2:00am certainly does not help.
I have thought about it a lot over the weekend and I think it is just one of those "draw a line under it and forget about it" kind of games.
If the club wanted to ever raise a point of order about anything, that one would be my choice.
Of course it is tough to travel from Welly to Perth (or back) for a football game, as it is quite far away. However, once we get there, it does not have to be a Friday Night feature ("a Midnight Special"?). It could have a been a Sat or Sun afternoon game and it may have been less of a drama for us. I thought that part of the team management is ensuring players have a curfew - they were all well past their bedtime last friday.I totally agree.
The FFA can't seem to get Perth right in terms of timing of games. We get one that is far too late, they have previously copped flak for scheduling games to early in the afternoon when the temperature easily exceeds 30 degrees.
