Straight Sets Simon

If we are going to play Lewis, get him out of the back half and push him forward of the ball. At least his handballs to teammates under pressure won't be as dangerous there.

Great point about carrying the ball. When we get the ball we don’t look to break away and clear the pack, we just panic handball like you say. We don’t give ourselves the chance to get clear, it’s just pass the buck to your teammate. Lewis does this a lot. Opposition teams know if they get tackled straight away it won’t be holding the ball (no prior opportunity), but when they are tackled they often get the ball out anyway.

Out: Maynard, Wagner In: Tyson, Brayshaw Lewis and Garlett on very thin ice.

Zorko and Beams will hard to stop.

How many of those were cut off by the Geelong loose man?

Brisbane should be favourites. Beams and Zorko will destroy us.

I prefer them both to Garlett.

Sydney are such a clean team, never fumble and never run over the ball. Will win the flag.

Plus they had injuries and no Dangerfield.

You went soft on Lewis.

We have really poor midfield depth, Viney is such a big loss.

We still fumble so much and panic when tackled. On the other hand Geelong often got hands clear and were clean with the ball. We also run over the ball far too often when it’s on the ground.

Correct.

Bad team selections, bad tackling, bad fumbling, bad kicking, bad in close, bad out wide and bad coaching to allow the loose Geelong defender. They had so many injuries and we got the run of the green from the umpires.

Whenever they are tackled they get a hand pass off but we just panic.

Horrible coaching to allow the loose player.

This.

Hogan’s defence is disgusting.

We fumble the ball on the ground so much.

Get Maynard off.

Injuries alone keeping us in it.

This feels like 2007 all over again.

Why we kick long and don’t cover their loose player is beyond me.

Embarrassing. Our midfield is cactus without Viney.
