    i must say goodes has been absolutely anonymous. he desperately needs to go on the ball.

      Our forward 50 entries have been horrendous.

        All of them needs to get their freaking boots changed. They're falling over any time they're getting near the ball. Right now if we lose by less than 20 I'd be happy with how we're playing.

            seriously we should be about 6 goals down - i can see us losing by 10-12 goals in this game when we cease being able to hold the ball in. once it goes outside they have 3-4 players to our two every time.

              they will now be three goals up and we look absolutely atrocious. - 41-22 and we will be lucky to lose by 60 points. our midfield and forwards cant get the ball and when they do cant make the most of it. if it wasn't for teddy and lrt we would be 40 points down already.

                  goodes misses a tackle and lucky to get away with it.

                  grundy doing well with intercept marks. like to see parker kick this goal - 44-36.

                  i still think we are lucky to be in this but hopefully can hold this sort of margin intio half-time

                    Man the Hell up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just ripped to shreds through the centre - we are very, very fortunate to only be a goal down. having said that we have still had some good endeavour to get a few ourselves.

                    dreadful, dreadful decision making (Armstrong takes 7 seconds and kick to a three on one for a probable goal). How about someone actually DEFEND Swallow.....he doesn't even do anything special it's just that wherever he stands the ball falls into his arms....even if it gets tapped in the opposite direction it will fumble straight to him......

                    And another dreadful Armstrong decision sees a goal to Tarrant

                      again too slow to man up from armstrong caught htb. 50-36. seriously we are a long way off this - 3-6 to 2-2 in the quarter which gives you a sense of how dominant they were.

                        The thing I can't understand is....how can we be a man short at every possession as they go down the wing, or through the centre.....yet still not have a spare man at the long kick into the forward fifty. Where are our players???????????

                          Almost cooked. If they kick the first two of the next quarter we're done.

                            we have been out coached so far

                            to allow the Kangas so much time to set the tempo with the chip around footy is crazy !!!

                            the concern for the Kangas though is can they do this all game........if they can keep possession they will win ......but if they drop some passes or we rebound hard we will get on top.

                            So the question how do we stop them from maintaining possession and chipping around to uncontested footy?

                            ANSWER we have to win the ball ups !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! starve them of the football !

                            come on midfield !!!!

                              Well we're two goals down actually. But agree with everything else!

                              Poor efforts all around. Only Hanners and Bolts have been shining lights (totally OT it was Bolts not Hanners who gave away the 50m penalty even though they put the stat against Hanners).

                              Our manning up in particular has been shocking.

                                It was one when I started writing :-)...just before Tarrant's last goal
