The match

Post: # 2030193Post meher baba »

They're looking a fair bit better to us all around the ground.

But we're not totally out of it.

We’re looking very sloppy in defence and struggling with our decision making in the middle… cute passes under pressure, bombing when we have numbers

Reaiistically, 2-3 of their goals were pretty lucky: the first came from the ball bouncing in an unexpected direction and ending up in the hands of Greene. And then there were a couple of iffy umpiring decisions.

Too many mistakes from our backline and turnovers coming out have cost us.

Well, this will do, won't it? I imagine most posters are at the ground.

We need to hold it in our forward line at least.
It's been coming out too easily.

Funny, I think the real problem has been up forward, where we have allowed them to charge out of defence almost at will.

Tendency to ball watch a bit as well

Not loving Webster, Clark or Battle so far

Coops our sole forward option

Missed mark by King at the top of the goal square would have put us 2 goals up early on. GWS just too good at the moment .

How many times have our own forwards flying against each other hurt us?

Caminiti looks a bit lost out there.

We are so missing Membrey. Caminiti has mucked up several forward entries now.

Contesting each for a mark in the square and the ball ends up at the other end for a shot at goal we are looking very ordinary atm

Selection mistake not to pick Stocker ahead of one of our small forwards.

Yeah… to make the finals was a good effort, given new coach, etc.

This has a 2010 GF replay feel to it.

Good year still, we all know the holes we need to fill, this is just more evidence 👍
