We seem to have only half a game, great in defence, able to put on enough pressure to stop teams scoring heavily but now cant score ourselves.

Not telling Lyon how to do his job or anything, but if i were him it is obvious that some players need to be shuffled in the forward line.

BJ at CHF
Kosi floating in the hole.
Milne or Schnieds up the ground whilst the other crumbs.

All forwards need to be moving, we have no room for players like Buddy who don't lead.

CARNA SAINTS !!!!

positives: our defensive pressure has been good enough to keep them to 3 goals in a half of footy

negatives

Exactly our pressure has been great, but with that you need to have another side and that is attack and when you attack you need to have someone to give it to.

Bad luck about the feed.

Mini's going ok: it's not as if Milne and Schneider are showing him up.

Goddard just has to play forward alongside Kosi in the second half. Or, failing that, Gwilt. We need another presence up there.

I still think we're going ok. Wouldn't be surprised if we wear them down in the third quarter. They're taking a lot of risks bringing the ball out and getting away with it, but not converting it into points on the scoreboard. Something's gotta give....

Such an intense game.
Very impressed with Gwilt, he always looks dangerous with the ball.

I am cursed, I traded heaven and earth to get GAblett in my Dream Team today, only to get the late mail he'd been withdrawn! Two zeros this week. :x

Very winnable game against a top 4 side. Ross needs to earn his money.

And Kosi's bump was fair.

Need to take some chances. And convert.

Looking at his marking contest against Lewis a few weeks back, I'm glad he isn't literally killing us!

Pods? I've done well out of him...he may get more of it on the forward with GAblett missing and Chappy in the middle. Can't see a depleted Richmond team doing much to stop them, but who knows, the Tiges nearly knocked 'em off at SS last year.

Ahem...I digress.

BJ to the forward line Morris takes him, therefore leaving Milne with Harbrow, therefore eliminating some of Harbrow's effectiveness.

Must have learnt that from Will Minson, straightest line to the interchange, straight through the mark
