What on earth has happened to our disposal?
It's like we have been playing with dodgy footballs for 3 weeks.

Thought the dogs field kicking was considerably better than ours! Luckily our endeavour, preassure, spirit and intensity won us the game.degruch wrote:Exactly...I didn't see the Dogs running around like the Harlem Globetrotters either.bigcarl wrote:pressure. they are a very good side and we beat them without riewoldt and grammy.
Maybe this year?

Re: What on earth has happened to our disposal?
I just finished watching the replay, plenty of turnovers and sloppy disposal from them too. Large patches of the game where they couldn't run 2 meters without being harrassed or tackles. But, we can be watching the same game and get different impressions...maybe the Saints were actually brilliant?rexy wrote:Thought the dogs field kicking was considerably better than ours!

Re: What on earth has happened to our disposal?
I agree degruch, my concern in the first half was the amount of turnovers we comitted when not under immediate preassure, kicks off half back that just did not hit targets and forced us to go into another contest rather than keep posession.degruch wrote:I just finished watching the replay, plenty of turnovers and sloppy disposal from them too.

Re: What on earth has happened to our disposal?
one of the problems is that no one is presenting across half forward, often because they are all behind the ball. we need to return to a settled forward structure.rexy wrote:I agree degruch, my concern in the first half was the amount of turnovers we comitted when not under immediate preassure, kicks off half back that just did not hit targets and forced us to go into another contest rather than keep posession.

Re: What on earth has happened to our disposal?
That is a problem no doubt, tonight though IMO, we butchered easy kicks from defensive 50 to free players on the wing or in the centre, Ie we had the ball, we had space, we had a target in space but we didnt hit him, in some cases we turned it directly over, in others we just made our team mate work so much harder to get it and gave the opposition extra time to structure up. Targets in the forward line rely on quick transition and fluid play to give them a chance to lose there man and find some space to ove into.bigcarl wrote:one of the problems is that no one is presenting across half forward, often because they are all behind the ball. we need to return to a settled forward structure.rexy wrote:I agree degruch, my concern in the first half was the amount of turnovers we comitted when not under immediate preassure, kicks off half back that just did not hit targets and forced us to go into another contest rather than keep posession.

Sam Gilbert was a serial offencer tonight, One howling turnover that surely muct have been a jumper mixup and numerous kicks that just didnt hit targets.rexy wrote:I agree degruch, my concern in the first half was the amount of turnovers we comitted when not under immediate preassure, kicks off half back that just did not hit targets and forced us to go into another contest rather than keep posession.degruch wrote:I just finished watching the replay, plenty of turnovers and sloppy disposal from them too.

Also doesnt bounce the ball hard enough, it kinda floats back to him and he has to break stride sometimes to gather it.
Brilliant aerialist and reads the ball and the play wonderfully, but I thought his errant disposal and complete lack of a right foot cost us
