Think Saints. He is neither a mid or a shut down defender. Get him the f*** out of the congestion

That's on the leadership
Bonner doing pretty well in close. Our midfield fell away in the second half of that quarter and need to lift around stoppages. We have a few players not doing enough- Henry, Hill, Membrey and Wilson.
They do what they're instructed and that's to choke the game. Restrict their ball users.

Our best mids aren't used offensively

He's doing that because the midfield are flat footed and not offering an option- should be at Roma's feet

The team is working together quite well tonight. And Ross is winning the coaching battle. Although, to be fair to Dimma, the sort of no risk, keep possession at all costs way that the GC is playing tonight is nothing like the way the Tigers play and I suspect that his message hasn't gotten through to his players just yet.

But our forward setup is still crap. It's not all about the delivery inside the forward 50: even watching on TV I can see players like NWM and Bonner looking for someone to pass to in the forward 50 and not finding anyone. So they just try an up and under and the ball inevitably ends up in the hands of an intercept marker.

King, Caminiti, Membrey and Owens are a potentially dangerous combination of tall-to-medium forwards. They should be able to deliver more than we see each week.

Fumble from RoMa.
Smash the ball forward … they had the bench telling them there was 20 seconds left. Smash it forward FFS. It’s a territory game

20 seconds left

You would keep the ball in tight not smash it out in the open

Bonner HTB
One minute late StKilda tackle GC 15 out from our goal and it’s play on.

Also 15 meters in our forward half is actually 30.

Woods goal taken off us what a piss take.
😭😭😭

You must have missed Butler’s first goal!

Lol
I saw it isn’t that when you condone our player by saying it’s stupid and got him high.
“Got him high”

And there it is, we can't score and they're getting right in top.
