Yes we got the goal but it was pretty disappointing to see Sinclair stream out of the middle and not one of our forwards lead at him ...... he had no choice but to kick it to a contest

Forwardline doesn't look like they work together to make space ..... it was similar story that quarter off half back where we were stagnant cause no one was moving to create space ..... seemed to be a lot of standing around

Yep. And pressing up when we get it in defence giving us sfa options to create flow and run.
Melbourne are playing the bigger ground very smartly. Chip go slow and make us work. Thankfully we got a couple of good late goals to go into the break with some momentum. Jack Steele is a machine!
It helps if you’ve played a few times at the ground, like they have

Got to lift our forward pressure in 2nd half. They are winning ground ball in our forward line.

And stop the bombing to 2 on King. Lower eyes.

Absolute he’s a gun so much Hayes about him and that’s a big call !
Big call but he's earned the call this year. Love the way he goes about it and glad you agree Teflon. :)

Same with Hill. Five minutes ago he went at the ground ball footy with one hand out the side...if you can’t put your head over the footy when your team is down on the scoreboard you’re soft as butter
He is soft but thats not what we picked him up for he has been pretty good IMO so far

No system. We kick a goal from it but Sinclair gets it out of the middle, streams forward and kicks it ....... on top of a 2 on 2. Lucky ball fell to Marshall.

9 players without a tackle, including Billings, Sinclair & Steele. Those 3 get & make tackles, we win!

No more about the way he tripped over his own two feet when running in to mark it
and then played tunnel ball

Anway scores are all tied up
Lets hope he kicks two in the last half

Surely that’s an improvement on the 0 on 2 that we targeted a couple of times.

Couldn't be much worse than that first half.
I hope Steele actually speaks up in the rooms and demands the boys win this game and put it all on the line. (Like he does)


Nee!

Three absolute crap, emotive, nonsensical posts. I expect all to be full of praise in the near future.
