How have our 3rd quarters been this season so far? From memory not great.

He’s been like this since coming back from the broken clavicle. He can’t seem to even lay a proper tackle anymore. It has me wondering if he’s playing in pain.

Small ground and with the likes of Crouch, Ross, Byrnes & Steele kicking the ball inside 50 on the SCG, our marking forwards have no hope...this then filters down to our crumbers because our talls aren't given an opportunity to at worst set up a contest.

Quite bizarre we are within two goals & quite sad we are praying that Owens takes the game by the scruff of the neck.

Yeah, pretty dissapointing. Can't say I've seen Jack Steele look less on. Not sure what the solution is. Sports psychologists?

Whatever criticisms one has of Butler, it cannot be denied he is a team player

I don’t like this strategy of moving the ball fast in to the forwards

Can’t keep up

What a ridiculous decision against Butler, well done Owens.
Keep it up guys, this is more like it.
