Gez that's poor honestly game should be done and dusted yet we make hard work of it stupid basic football errors.

[georgies31]

Some old habits creeping in I notice.

[mightytiges]

Cotch to HF but the Hawks get it. We intercept via Ellis on the wing. To Butler to SHort. Back to Ellis. Back to Rance. To Houli.

Wasting time. 30 mins gone.

[mightytiges]

We go long and the Hawks rebound. Thankfully they miss.

102 - 89

[mightytiges]

Siren. Won by 13.

Hope Hardwick takes this team aside and gives them a good old spray. Too much smart arse football in the last especially and it could have cost us the game.

Win is a win but sorry that's poor for me we were 5 goals up to many guy's making dumb decisions for me like panic merchants.

[eliminator]

Not a great win. Still getting beaten in contested possession which is a worry.

Yep. Giving up a 39 point lead down to 13 (could have been closer if they kicked straight) in the last means we collectively switched off mentally.

If this were round 17 I'd be concerned.

But it is round 3. We are 2-1 and we won today playing in second gear.

Our guys know what it takes to win a flag.
