Gawn is being significantly beaten at the moment. Dropped a couple of easy of marks as well. 

Campbell has had his measure the last few times they've come up against each other. It is a massive problem for us today. No clean ball out of he middle at all

[Chook 15,022]

Look we're not out of this but the following players need to take a very good look at themselves:

McDonald

Garland

Watts

Garlett

Gawn (sorry I put the mozz on you by making you my Fantasy captain)

[Bang Bang Bang 5,839]

I'm at the game, what was the 50 to Redpath for?

Jetta has been crazy good. Watts back to old Watts recently.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

What is wrong with our supporters?  Rubbish thread, Stigga.

I find it incredible how poorly we score against teams with undermanned defence. It is perplexing as all hell; these are the teams we should be decimating yet we become timid and confused.

Boyd, Morris and Adcock 700 games of experience. Hunt, Wagner, Michie. Who has the undermanned defence?

Which leaves spare players on the outside

Which will be useless when they run the ball out

And hate saying it as well but Garland has to go. Dunn is in white hot form in the 2s

what has he done to be so much on the outer?

[dee-tox 4,835]

Too many frontrunners. Nineteen more contested possessions says all you need to know.

Jetta great. Hogan needs to convert. Gawn need tp get in the game. 

[bing181 9,348]

Not just the problem of the backline per se, we're turning it over or losing possession further up the ground, and it's coming in very fast. Hard to defend against.

[Guest]

Indeed. Same old s***. But not for the reason you think.
Ridiculous thread. Candidate for worst thread of 2016.

What are you talking about? Five players are not going to go to the one man to start with.

[Mr Steve 3,820]

Gawn 18 Super Coach points to half time. Watts only 17. 

[Redleg 41,758]

This game is being won by clean possession and better skill on disposal. End of story.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

We're still in it.  We've made lots of mistakes and not played our best footy... but we're still in it.

Plenty of players out there who can lift for us, namely Gawn, Watts and Garlett (10 disposals between the 3 of them) and we have shown that we CAN defend and work hard.

It's up to us now.  If we're within 3 goals at the end of the third quarter I believe we can run over the top of them.

[leucopogon 1,519]

Jetta keeping us in this game single handedly

[dazzledavey36 55,458]

Get rid of Garland and never ever select him again please Roosy. Get Dunn or even Frost down back.

Spot on bing, and I said something earlier in the game as well.  I know some of our key backs have their limitations, but they're playing a defensive style that requires those guys further up the ground to do their job too, something they aren't doing enough of at the minute.

[John Crow Batty 8,879]

Gawn needs an ego trim. 

[DeeZee 7,445]

We just don't look like it today.

Very fumbly and flat footed.

We need to bring our A game against the really good sides or get shown up

5 loose players running the ball out? We would just be giving them an avenue to launch an attack opposed to keeping it locked in our 50.

[Guest]

I have no real issue with the endeavor.
We need to tidy up our disposal and decision making. 

[whatwhat say what 23,109]

We are being well beaten at the contest and we are not out of it.

 

Big second half required.

 

Gawn, Watts, and Garlett need to do a lot more.

we need something, anything

Jetta BOG, it's just a shame some of his defensive mates are bogs.

Need someone a bit quicker than Dunn.

Back stocks starting to look a bit thin.
