Exactly right Macca. A win might have glossed over a lot we did wrong. But also right. End of the day they were the better teams and we should have been 5 goals down at 1/4 time.

I know the goal line decisions going to be the main talking point but really we have so many problems that need addressing before worrying about that. Selection on a greasy/wet night was not great. Still love bomving it long to outnumbered or out sized contests. Players don’t shepherd for each other, don’t do the hard yards for each other. Max whinges more than the whole of England. Also flops around like a fish out of water. Salem has some of the worst disposals I’ve seen in a long time. He was once elite at hitting a target now he is elite at panicking and butchering the ball. As bizarre as it sounds Petty out might cost us any chance.

Clarry turned back into trouble. Get it down t he line.

Clarry looks like someone who hasn’t played in 10 weeks

What a beautiful set shot Smithy!

Thommo for Grundy? Or go smaller?

Gawn has given up.

Two goals in a min from the start of the qtr and that’s second spot gone folks.

Ok, I’ll say it. No Petty up forward… no Melbourne.

I reckon if Max didn’t whinge as much he might get more free kicks.

Viney has got to realise a mung ball into our f50 quickly is better than a turn back to your left side and a two meter handball to a guy surrounded by three opponents. Give the forwards a chance.

Great tackles chin and Koz

Then under no pressure Salem kicks it long to a blues player alone????

Salem butchered both them and avoided contact. What is wrong with him???

Great shepherd Kozzie!

JJ has been much better than Sparrow who has 4 touches at 50% two turnovers, 1tackle 28 meters gained. I’d sub him before JJ.

Salem has had our second most disposals and every one looked like he was panicking. People are bagging JJ but he is at least running hard and making position. Blues have 8 of the top 10 possession getters. Sparrow has had 4 possessions and turned two over for a massive 28 meters gained, 1 tackle, JJ has 10, 60% eff, 2 tackles 150meters game but JJ is the problem here for some. If we don’t lift intensity up quite a lot they will steam roll us in the second half.

Their pressure is elite ours is avg.

Viney has been great but [censored] me don’t try and take on 3 [censored] tacklers

They all want the ball back. It’s selfish and dumb.

Defensive positioning has been poor tonight.

Give the handball then shepherd Nibbler. JJ then isn’t under the pump.

Here is another fun fact, high heels were designed by the Persians in the 10th centruy for their cavalry so they had better grip in the stirrups.
