Acres can't get near it


In Springfield, they're eating the dogs. The people that came in, they're eating the cats. They’re eating – they are eating the pets of the people that live there.

Bloody charity to Steven in front of goal

Next lot of midfielders hopefully a lot better disposers of the ball than Armo, Steven and Geary or we're going nowhere!

Armitage nearly having his head kicked off was another example of our shitful treatment.

Acres is having a howler.

Not the lone ranger.

He's not good enough at this stage in his career, but hasn't dropped his head and is showing good signs still.

I love Jack's endeavour, but his disposal generally appalling.
We need better disposal from our key midfielders.
Armo is not a lot better.

When the opposition score behind we don't bring the ball in quickly to get jump (lazy). Everyone gather in the middle (back to player kicking out) then try and lead into hawks web

Blakes done some good things but was screaming at him due to a few non real effors one on Gibson was very poor... just made no effort to preusure him when he took his kick. that lead to a goal.

boys kicking in the last 5 min was woeful but o well. still putting in a good effort.

Yes he's laconic, but please tell me you're not querying his heart.

Only one team out there should be playing with finesse, that's the one with a few football brains and some disposal skills.

Only young kids so I am not worried about it but Acres and Sinclair both very quiet.
Overall we are doing ok. We went in to our shell a bit and they ran over the top of our hesitation.

Id like to see us be more attacking. A few times Shenton could have attacked the corridor but turned back and played it safe. We are playing a bit safe overall.
Hopefully we can have one good attacking quarter.

That poor kick in by us opened the floodgates for the Hawks.

Overall we are not to bad. ..but we just have taken too many poor options that have cost us goals and allowed the Hawks a few. That is the difference.

This game is too frantic, we make enough errors in a slow game.

We have 0 answers to getting out of back 50. Something needs to change because if it carries on like that last10 minutes it's another 100 point loss.

If Steven had kicked that goal we were within 10, not long later it's 40.

yes we go into reverse too easily. First quarter we were more ditect and looked the better for it.

2nd we started go hesitate more and go backwards more.

Heart = urgency and ability to put it on the line

So yes im questioning Acres heart.

At 190cm and the skill he has he could be anything!! So we need him to have heart.

Would be good if our 2 ruckman got involved other than jumping with one hand in the air....giving that they can't win the ruck duels than why are they there?
