Maybe the case but only one side is kicking goals regularly despite equal team stats.matrix wrote:why?
i think blokes slipping all over the place
not being able to grab the ball in one motion off the deck
marks going straight thru fingers
ball going sideways off the boot
by both sides

Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

Yup - It all starts in the midfield. I think we have some good ones in Armo, Jack Steven, Billings, Dunstann Curran, withArces to come in.
What I'm hearing is Petracca could be a Judd like player (please I'm NOT comparing).
I am really warming to that idea more than a McCartin or a forward.
Next season we have Roo, Stanley coming on, Bruce looking OK. Get a KPP next draft.
We need to recruit a couple more quality mids.
Agree. Even if the 'Cameron rumour' has any cred. Mids first.

Re: Game Thread v GC Suns
Pace in midfield just cut us up.
Savage the only one who could keep up and he almost got the tackle in but he couldnt stop 6 of them.

Dud coach, experienced players playing with little authority, not sure about our future prospects. Could have saved ourselves $500K and probably got better results.

Re: Game Thread v GC Suns
Pace is important in the middle but getting the ball first is more important providing you don't turn it over immediately. Need midfielders in the draft and/or Lycett from Eagles.Con Gorozidis wrote:Pace in midfield just cut us up.

Re: Game Thread v GC Suns
4 goals from bad licking in defence. This must be addressed as its just demotivating for the rest of the team upfield.

If you know anything about footy, you would know that it was a dumb post.
BTW. Maybe Dempster coughed the ball up because he had no options. Why would that be?
