Watching on the idiot box, when Sydney went to a tight one-on-one defense, we were caught out trying to break out of the defensive 50.  Our defenders looked uncertain of what to do when there wasn't a player free.  They looked like they wanted to wait, and wait, and wait until someone worked free, but due to Sydney's tactics, it just wasn't happening and we coughed up a few turnovers. 

When Sydney went back to a zone, we didn't have much trouble working through it.

I think we might see other teams try the one-on-one defense on us.

Muscles our skills are our downfall at times. Batch a few times turned it over and so did Rance and Tuck kicked it out on the full once also. I think the trick is getting the ball to our better kicks to find the pinpoint target where if the mark isn't taken the ball is contested rather than turned over.

Would love to see Grigg and Houli do some work on the right foot kicking please.

That 50 metre pass by Grimes in the last quarter was a beauty.

Agree with this to an extent, but they had to do something to contain our dominance.  Coaching staff will be all over it this week in analysis though you would think.

Grimes was outstanding. His disposal and decision making were very good. One of the main reasons sydney closed in on us was the extra man in defence for them worked and we missed some gettable goals. The first Goal by Grigg was critical in last quarter and gave us much needed confidence. Our decision making at times let us down for instance I can remember Grigg shouting at Rance after Rance took the less safe option in the fourth quarter and it lead to a turnover. Batch seems down on confidence and Dustin's kicking for goal was a bit off. But having said all that Maric was brilliant. Nahas played an okay game and Jack is getting his confidence back. THe goal that was not allowed and the mark to Brett that was not paid were the most disgraceful decisions I have seen in a long time

Jacko had a MASSIVE clanger in the 3rd quarter. Gave away a 50m penalty by doing a rain dance over the mark. The resultant goal was the one that kick-started Sydney's comeback. For the hundredth time, I just can't fathom what it is that Dimma sees in this clown.
