I think the split round has been poor to you Jackaub, but you're not alone.
Our attack on the ball is getting worse by the week?
We had one poor game at a ground we're always poor at, the week before our attack on the ball was easily equal to (at least) the Magpies attack on the ball. We had a poor first quarter against the Blues then were pretty good for the rest. We were belted by the premiership favourites on their dunghill. We beat Port up in Darwin, had a poor game against the Weagles, but a ripper against the Dogs.
Why people resort to throwaway lines so often bewhilders me. People need to remember past the most recent match, especially when making generalisations.
We're a young team, who will be unpredictable from week to week. The only consistent with us is that we'll be inconsistent (and struggle to get inside 50's!).
