He won his first one (straight to them) but hasn't touched it.

He should have started at full forward to get him into the game.

Good quarter, our pressure forcing the Lion's into mistakes. Importantly when the Lions goaled we answered immediately.

Why again isn’t King playing?

He’s hardly played a game this year

Managed?


We are struggling to get it out of d50

Wow
Amazing to still be in this game with half a dozen players who have not had a possession.

Just keep playing how we want to play
Wont win but it’s about “form” going in and no injuries
Within 5 goals I’m happy
Lions only lost 3 at home since 2021

Membrey and Hayes largely ineffective

They need to get up the ground to be an outlet

We went to Butler twice for two turnovers

That should be a kpp
