Boy Caminati really needs to get a bit better at attacking the contest vs waiting for the ball to come to him

One of the umpires - I think it’s number 2

Is blatantly cheating

Nice throw by Brown at the end if that quarter for no free

The day we get paid multiple holding free kicks in our forward 50 is the day we know we have arrived as a Top 8 team

Yep he’s well off pace
We have no one to rest him 2s unfortunately
He’s lost that manic attack/contest at ball
Needs to get it back

We are playing better dominating field position

Our entries have been shocking

Our backline has let 5 walk in goals - leaking like a sieve

Our forwards need to engage their opponents

Defenders need to get within a bulls roar of theirs

He's young. He's a competitor.

He'll get fitter and stronger.

Needs game time and he'll improve

No. ..this is what I reckon though. He hardly did anything and he’s out for the game.
The shoulder is obviously in a bad way

I think we're making a terrific effort, although it's difficult to believe we can win this. Worse still, we're going to be in a diabolical situation with injuries next game. It's been a tough season.

Is every mark taken in defence now an intercept mark? If you handball the footy to your team mate ten possessions before your side scores a goal is that a goal assist? 😊
