It is [censored] infuriating. We give a free kick away on our attacking 50 and we are so pushed up that the Saints take 2 kicks and 5 seconds to be having a shot on goal. Richo was laying into us. 

Our defensive awareness forward of centre is getting progressively worse and has been an issue throughout Goodwin's reign.

what more can one say about this gameplan

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,547]

Fritter in the forward half of the ground easily > Fritter in the defensive half. Can't believe it took this long to make that happen.

[Diamond_Jim 12,598]

Hard to appreciate that we now struggle against cellar dwellers... wait..... we are a cellar dweller

[Jaded No More 68,966]

Well I’ll take it. 

If we can start defending, we might win this. 

[Demon_spurs 1,860]

Ok settled and looked better at the end

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,778]

Viney great pressure there

[chook fowler 19,459]

It’s taken 3 years but I’m finally warming to Jordan Lewis.

[Dr.D 1,771]

so it really needs to be discussed. Do I know more about footy than Goodwin? I've been asking for fritsch to be played since day 1 and quite frankly I think its embarrassing that it took him 17 rounds to do it.

Cudos to OMac, he has been good

Nothing to do with the game plan. If the players don't work to position, that's what happens.

[dazzledavey36 55,000]

Lewis up forward is already a find for us.

Both Wagners need to go! 

Lack of fitness, arrogance, or laziness? Which makes us a worse defensive running side?

They've been ok Jaded IMO.  Limitations at the moment as early days but both play with intensity ar the footy and opponents.  Josh really dropped off from a reasonable start to the season then went back for a stint at Casey when higher rated opponents returned but thats what happens to inexperienced players.

Cory similar.  In for a few out for a few.

Takes a while to find feet at such a high level.  Lets see how they go for remainder of year eh.

You think it was a coincidence that when our back six returned from injury that Fritsch went fwd again?

Oh to make positional discoveries a mere 6 weeks before a player is due to retire. How useful.

I prefer to think of it a a low centre of gravity- he is so strong around the hips and rarely goes to ground

Nope.

After a couple of dud tunes, we have another for the victory playlist -

James Brown, Get on Up:

Starts with a goal to Fristsch, finishes just after Smith nails his.

 

So all our goals have been thanks to two mighty smooth songs so far.

[dee-tox 4,835]

Don't understand when you get a fast start why the hell you don't go doubly hard to make it a six goal advantage. Let them back far too easily. Lever, Lewis, Fritta, Clarry and Petracca have been good.

[At the break of Gawn 4,460]

Omac actually does look slightly bigger.

[FireInTheBennelly 4,072]

How long before Fritsch  is moved back permanently?

[DubDee 25,917]

Why is Lingy yelling at us?

[praha 11,240]

ANB just gets in the way.

Wtf Harmes?!
