real chance if we can start kicking cleanly. both teams look spent, so if one can run it out it could blow out for them , or we'll run them down.

Not going in hard enough either. We have pleny of improvement left in us, so we are some sort of chance. Kicking must i prove in the 2nd half.

Lee was unlucky but good signs.

Can't see us winning - think they are a season or two ahead of us

Kicks into f50 has been extremely questionable. If your gonna kick high don't make it land on the talls head, let them run and jump, nothing harder than a pack mark from a stationary jump.

Zero defensive pressure from the forwards and midfield. Mids need to get a bit more desperate at the contest- too much watching by too many. Can't believe how easy ball is getting out of our forward line. Fisher and Demster look like old blokes out there today. Lee not doing too bad and Sinclair doing pretty well.

Kicking woeful, but I've never seen us hanball so poorly.

Pretty poor effort from our leaders today. Looks like a different team from last week, and I reckon Richo is getting out coached today- just some real dumb footy going on.
