Saw the game from ground level a view a rarely I see from
Our 3 goals were dissapointing
We were never able to get the ball to 20 metres of the goals. We either went wide and reduced the angle or kicked from too far out. The kick from the centre square let us down. Not having Clark and Hogan makes us too Dawes conscious . Pederson led up well and took plenty of good marks. Problem was we had no one at CHF for the important kick. We had no small forwards for foward tackling and there were too many easy rebounds
Roos was upset at JKH for being in the backline and not the fwd line at the end of quarter.
Our mids did ok, jones, vince cross, . Tyson had the second best tagger in the business after crowley so having a down game was not surprising.
I thought a defence did ok despite too many turnovers. Our skills are better than last 3 years .
It was not a pretty match to watch but if Roos intention was to play dour football and minimize the scoreboard damage it is working. If we can get the defence right than other parts of the game should improve.
best for us, jones. dunn, pederson, cross, vince
