They need to be more direct

 

Dom Tyson gets the ball, but my lord is he a butcher.

 

We are making smedts look good... 

really bad sign lol


Our inside 50 kicks are terrible 

Reminds me of the Gold Coast game last year. Had all the possession but disposal kept them in it. We are handing them the ball across half back.

 

Just lacking a little composure, if we switch on we will score quickly 

Deep breaths. Just need a little composure. Otherwise we are dominating.


Carlton to their credit aren't letting us run it through the middle. 

We need to move it forwards rather than sideways.

Disposal. Turning it over too often, keeping them in it.

Kick heading inside 50 is letting us down and we're not getting back to defend the corridor well enough. Should win comfortably if we tighten up but jeez it's frustrating to watch 

I'm not gonna panic coz it's only the first  quarter, but that was garbage of the highest order. Credit to Carlton for shutting things down. 


nice little reality check... trust the first kick, and stop effing around with dinky little kicks (not even the 15m's on the 45)  Gus to lift.

Getting lots of the ball and we're winning the ball well too - far too inefficient though (so far)

Disposals 145 to 85

I'm on the other side of the world so only just woke up, I know last week one of our issues in the first term was blazing away without lowering the eyes for short passes (particularly going into the forward 50), is there a bit of that going on?

Bolton has done his homework..We should crack them but it may take a while.


And that is the value of Hogan and a good crumber like Garlett. Hogan doesn’t mark it, but he brings it to ground. Garlett gets the goal, but that was Hogan’s as much as his. Not to mention the dangerous kick into 50 by Nathan Jones.

Hogan playing well but dropping marks
