Terrible by Tyson got a bit of work to do 

Well we can only get better than that quarter

Coughed up a goal through another turnover at half forward.  If we can fix that up then we'll be okay.  Eagles too good on the rebound if we continue to do it, though.

It's partly why we brought Hibberd in.

Looks like Melbourne of old with some of our decision making

absolutely hopeless defense

 

 

 

Our skills have been appalling for 10 years and I'm not sure there's been a lot of improvement in that area at all

Can't remember ever seeing that before. Extraordinary.

Gee whiz, what was Dom Tyson thinking...kick it down the line if you don't have any options in the middle. Not sure he is a certainty for round 1. Very average thus far.

Turnovers are the big difference here, eagles have made us pay more than we have made their errors costly. 

poor decision making, poor marking and poor disposal resulting in turnover and scores against us

To those who can't watch:

Turnovers are what is killing us.  Eagles didn't make it count though so we've got time to make amends.  For us, Oliver, Melksham and ANB have probably been the pick of the players so far.  It's not as bad as others are making out, though.  We are well and truly in the game.

Garland barely VFL standard.

Extraordinary turnovers in the back half. That last one by Dom was immaculate in its execution with seconds to go.

No one else annoyed about that lazy effort from Watts on half forward where he scrubbed a kick along the ground because he was too slow getting back behind the mark?

Tough call, can't see why all the garland hate here. No mention that JOnes has turned it over 4 times

Poor decisions by senior players not taking first option particularly Vince, Jones and Tyson. Good around the ball and defensively but just bad decisions and no movement in forward 50 (with a ruck, watts, weid and hogan not surprising). ANB, Melksham and Oliver our best.

Ball movement - good with some glaring shockers.

Horrible team defence once WCE get the ball across our half forward line.

Appalling decision making after a mark on multiple occasions.

OMac seems to notice every opposition player except his direct opponent. 

Clarry is a gun.

The sun glare is ridiculous.

I'm annoyed, I just chose not to post about it as I thought the 20 others in here at the moment would be all over something negative.

I blaming the Sun

At least we are not kicking into the sun this quarter

Because Jones is a gun and is allowed some errors. Garland is spud. Barely depth.

Haha thanks for the update.

I assumed that we had actually lost all the players we thought we had and replaced them with the 2013 version...... and Neeld was back coaching.

We out to 6/1

It never is. 

Setting up well for the most part, a few mistakes have let them in.

I really hate Vince playing in the backline. Tom and Oscar have been poor. Hurry up Frost!

Garland has been handy so has ANB.
