If we don't come out with 100% intensity and attack on the ball after the major break I'll be very disappointed. We saw in the 1st quarter what can happen when we turn one, 3 goals in 1.5 minutes. The lead is far from insomountable however if we continue playing in the manner we are thus far we wont overhaul it.
May I ask why is Milne playing up on the 50 arc rather than deeper in goal. He's marking on the 50 then kicking to the tall's but theres no one at the fall. Schneider seems to have been playing a running role from half back up the wing.
Get back to basics, first at the ball and correct the forward structure and we'll be right.

Tackles
6 players have acccounted for 24 of 34 first half tackles.
Where is the perceived pressure if you dont lay a hand on the opposition?
Kosi has had 4 kicks, 1 goal and 3 handed the ball back to North!
Gram's disposal gas not been brillaint but at least he's getting the pill a lot.
My biggest concern is the number of small forwrds out of position or not laying tackles. Full frontal pressure not applied.

Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.
You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency
