Sharp fumble.

Trac doesn’t seem to impact the way he used to. Has become very vanilla

Lester to Melk. Andrews fail

We could really do with a (in form) Fritch type in this forward line. Will be VERY interesting to see how he responds when he is subbed in.

Can Sparrow carry his bags?

Melks tackling pressure excellent

Not committing to the contest. Hanging back. Losing too many 1 v 1 s and not hitting the contest hard or with any pace / momentum at all.

Simon needs to take him aside and have a word for the 2nd half. NO passengers mate

Red time

Good to get one before the click

Brisbane too good, even when we do play well.

Gret team goal to Rivers

Why is a 33 year old, injury prone Jake Melksham our only forward who actually launches at the ball when going for a mark?

Everyone else tentatively stands there waiting for the ball to come to them?

Nice goal Riv

Turner Kozzi Melksham

have all been good

Gawn Rivers Bowey Trac

good enough

Better than most of us expected.

Let's hope we can keep it up in the second half

Green Shoots Grasshoppers

just quietly, we won that quarter

Both him and Oliver look like they need another pre season but even then might just be the new norm for them

Oliver with 17 and 5 clearances. Neale with 15 and 4. Not bad.

Our skills picked up in the last 15 mins and as a result, we're still in it.

Putrid skills for the first quarter and a half, particularly kicking.

Who the hell is our kicking coach?

Its a very close game the only issue is our silly turn overs.

Nice goal Riv

Because most aren't natural forwards or have a forward's mentality / nouse.

I forgot about Turner before when i mentioned sending Macca up there for Petty.

So no need.

Swap Petty for Turner to have any chance of getting close on the scoreboard
