A good team playing a poor team, simple as that.

They are getting a lot of lucky bounces but if we were cleaner they wouldn't be getting those bounces in the first place

Hardly a dead rubber - they can cement themselves inside top 4.

Haven’t seen this many of our usually reliable players fumble and drop marks in quite a while - Willie, Battle, Wood, NWM all dropping easy marks and fumbling easy cleanups with the pressure

Any chance of an upset rapidly decreasing!

This club will never be a contender if Howard continues as the main tall in our backline.

Contrast in full backs says it all.

Disgusting quarter

Players are putting themselves under pressure, like they’re expecting heat and fumbling the ball and dropping marks

No structure ahead of the ball

Thank god for Marshall and Jones

Howard is a Gumby
Wood having a mare
Hunter Clark is slow as treacle and bog average
Forward line without a key target over 195 is useless

Darcy Wilson’s opponent has 11 possessions

It's what I expected, bigger bodies and experienced ancient players against us - pleasing their crowdmaking fools of us - whilst wearing themselves out. We will do better in the second half if not sooner.

After all that, you're all signaling Howard as the problem? He's in the same boat as about 15 others, struggling under immense pressure.

Does Mason Wood need glasses, I’ve never seen him fumble and drop mark like he has in the 1st quarter.

Shame Steele missed the second. Boys have settled a bit. If they can add some score board pressure it might be game on
