Round 1 v Giants

[Nico]

Both Mills and Kennedy with rubbish kick turnovers let them back in. When we go to the top of the square we have them under the pump, so Mills does a shocker to nowhere. Then Kennedy does one of his garbage chips kicks. Why in the hell is he playing back. Too slow, can't kick and has no idea where his man is. They did this with Hewett last year and that didn't work. Otherwise a top game of footy.

Backline not going well.

They have 17 scoring shots from 24 entries which is super high.

Kennedy creates a massive hole in the backline.

He is going OK but had one really bad short kick which resulted in a goal.

Sorry Stevoswan that was about Paddy.

....and 11 marks inside 50 to our 6. Sounds like we need to tighten up.

You are right Nico. Kennedy is not backman - he is too slow and you can't retrain him at this stage. We have done about 3 crappy sub 25 metres passes which have cost us.

I'd rather see Kennedy play out his career at half forward to be honest.

Thanks.

share the same thoughts.

Not a bad game of footy but our defence looks rusty. Swap Lloyd for Kennedy in this team we’re ahead by 15 at half time IMO

[aardvark]

This new look backline is a worry. Not sure Kennedy fits.

[MattW]

Not watching....how is Paddy going?

Not well, but not as bad as his brother.

[Ludwig]

We should have played COR in the 22 and Kennedy as the medical sub.

Both teams looking top 4 contenders. Good start to the season from Ollie.

You realise just how important Lloyd is to our defence in a game like this. He makes exiting our defence some much smoother.

[i'm-uninformed2]

They’re trying to sit DeBoer on Blakey, which makes Blakeys game even better.

And as someone who’s been a bit critical of Florent, more of that please. Very good.

I know we’ve turned over a couple trying to exit 50, but our kicking inside 50 ain’t great.

Parker starting forward is interesting

[MattW]

Losing in the air.

Looks like a good move...

[Daisi]

Buddy's disposal was glorious- what a kick to Parker!

Pity we can't convert, we've been better than them this quarter..

[Foreign Legion]

Parker is the weapon lol
