47 points up at half time winning in most areas but still have some complacency creeping in when we should be tuning up with precision, they are clearing the ball too easily with some loose players it is only that their final delivery is poor and our backs are able to clear it out and take it coast to coast but not putting that dominance on the board as yet.

A half time review will highlight these areas and out we come for a big second half effort.

[lurker#134]

We are playing pretty well with some poor conversion but hey Collingwood won last night kicking 14.23

[wasaintsfan]

whens the last time we kicked 10.10 in a half

i feel me may step off the gas a little 47 points up still a long way to go which is the worry

[matrix]

better not step off the gas
i want to see 20 goals

[backit]

I agree wasaintsfan 47 up but still a half to go, we can't afford to slow down we need the 4 quarter effort today to make our statement and give the players confidence going forward.

[Legendary]

We SHOULD step off the gas a little ... not too much, but just enough to maintain our lead and not expend any more energy than we need to.

Percentage is irrelevant because of our draw.

We've proven that we can show strong forward pressure, desperation and get our forward structure working to kick a decent score again.

No need to get silly and win by hundreds of points and see 5 players go down in the last quarter with injury.

Great first half, there are still areas of improvement ... but compared with the last 3 weeks it's a much more promising show of footy.

[wasaintsfan]

hayes on his way to a 40 possesion game hes in everything

montagna had a better quarter... goddard a quieter quarter

schnieder was quiet that quarter

jones was busy

kosi has been lively but only 4 possesions and 1 goal 1 goal assist
could easily be 2 goals if they hadve paid the punch to the face
says no tackles but he was involved in a few tackles

biggest concern is our kicking to the forward line... when going to leads we look weak... our marks inside 50's are up as we are chipping it around the arc

improve the kicking to our forwards... ull see 5 goals each to roo and kosi in 2nd half...if not maybe 5 between them

[backit]

We need to maintain our pressure and work on our plans and structures, this is the game that we need to do that because come finals it will be too late to tinker.

im growing a fro

Training run.

Second half we should pile on the goals and get our confidence and percentage up.

I would like to see some players have a shot rather than pass off and the kicking at goal could be a bit better but a very impressive half and a massive improvment on the last month

BANG BANG

[SainterK]

Would like to see Mini back himself, and go for goal.

Individual goalkickers, I know I go on about this, but already 8 different goal scorers on the board....love it.

[saintluke]

Well if that wasn't a training drill goal I don't know what is.

76-23... great start to the 3rd term.
