Straight Sets Simon

No Preuss is bonkers.

Getting the ball in quickly as a tactic is fine but you need both players who can take contested marks and players who can crumb and win the ball at ground level. We have neither.

West Coast will kick 30 goals against that backline.

I liked Frost’s game but this was so incredibly stupid by him and directly resulted in Gold Coast hitting the lead.

6. Salem 5. Melksham 4. Jones 3. Oliver 2. Hunt 1. Frost - Despite setting up that last Gold Coast goal by playing on from 50 when the scores were level.

I think Harmes just fluffed the kick.

Our whole team has the fumbles, we did last year too but nothing has been done to improve this.

Tom McDonald being called the “star of the show” by Mooney is laughable. He was deplorable along with just about everyone else. What a horrible game of football. Our coaches have done nothing to fix our fumble and ball on ground problems from last year. The forward line is a mess, the structure is non-existent and we have no plan when then ball hits the ground.

Worst win ever.

Played on when there was no need to whatsoever.

What the [censored] was Frost thinking?

Hunt has no lateral movement.

Melbourne players trying the kick the ball off the ground while right up against the boundary is peak Melbourne.

If Frost doesn’t overrun that ball on the boundary Gold Coast don’t kick that goal. Why can’t we pick the ball off the ground?

Tom McDonald owed us big time.

Gold Coast players actually know to crumb the front of the pack in their forward line.

Marty Terlich.

Hore to Swallow.

Even the nuffie commentators are noticing our fumbles.

We need to ban taking advantage, worst in the competition at it by a mile.

Brayshaw with two huge fumbles.

Imagine if instead of trying to drown players at training we spent that time working on improving touch and having some semblance of a forward line structure.

Our forwards are second to the ball on the lead.

We are the worst at taking advantage.

Clean up fumbles and we will kick an extra five goals a game.
