Boots and all

....in the sense that it goes straight past them, over their head, to the opposition. It wasn't happening as much earlier in the year.

I'm noticing our small forwards are getting in too close to the marking contest.

That to DD.

I think I agree, he's been flat for a few weeks but saved by a few great moments of class. He needs to regain some form.

Sick of our boys spoiling each other in marking contests.

Gotta say GWS pressure has been spot on since 1/4 time.

Yep. When you're a defensive side that tends not to have high scores, you need to be switched on from the first bounce.

When will the umps start paying contact to the head in marking contests.

I hope we haven't switched on too late.

Eddie Maguire is loving the Dees today!!!

Nup, our best mid-sized forward by a mile.

FRITTA!!!!!!

Better start, more pressure. Please start kicking straight lads.

I thought he had been better than quite a few Nev.

Mids need to lay a few tickles. Up the pressure boys.

Cats are my concern. Their game style is a slow one, probably to account for their old list. As a strong marking side with a strong onballers they slow the game down by kicking from contest to contest and use big-bodied players in the clinches if it drops to ground. A contested side which will stand up in finals. The key to beating them is actually turning speeding the pace of the game up so strong running players like Hunt, Langdon, Kossie etc, must take the game on by running to space and attempting to break lines.

...and as much as I hate to say it, the bummers are on the improve, they aren't that bad and more than capable of knocking off the top sides on their night.

At least we started spotting up a few targets in the second half. Also, our game is built entirely around defence, I can't see us winning a game by more than 6 goals. A two game lead on top, so who gives a [censored] how we win.

Seriously, the Bombers supporters are shocking.

Great footy for a while, kicked consecutive goals and the [censored] ourselves up with a bit of Hollywood footy....looking at you Clarry.

Dominant for little reward. Need runners coming into the forward line for short hit ups if they are going to continue flooding back.

[censored] me too Chook...seems to play above himself against us!!!

...or even a backup forward to cover injury to key players. All clubs need players to fill these rolls e.g. Mitch Brown.

Yep, unfortunately it's time for Weid to go back to the two's, probably for the rest of the year. He hasn't shown improvement so far and the most recent game was probably the worst of a bad bunch.

Just turned on to have a look...[censored] the boys look flat today.
