The Bombers are 5 & 5
01/06/09 00:04
Good evening,
The Bombers were continuing to roll along nicely until hitting the proverbial submerged log today against the all-conquering Geelong Cats, by some 11 goals. I must admit I was a bit perplexed by some alleged experts who thought we might have been a chance to win, as they seemed to overlook the fact that we had out best two running defenders out and were planning to bring in a couple of older / slower types who were returning after injury or coming back after being dropped for poor form. I wasn't absolutely convinced we were matching up well with Geelong so I am not overly surprised (or disappointed) with the result, except that it does hit out percentage hard. This will be important, as a number of teams are bunched up around us and a decent percentage will almost be worth a game at the end of the year.
I hope the club keeps it's head up after today's loss and focuses on Adelaide for next week. Go Dons!
Bye for now, BomberBoy
