My thoughts as to the game today.
I only saw the last quarter so that's the caveat on these remarks.
Cotch got a lot of the ball, their tag was ineffective. This may be the biggest factor in our good performance.
Bounces and stoppages are still woeful.
Mackintosh hacks the ball forward too much
Our game seems fragile because we have to get it into the right peoples hands in the forward 50. Jack, lids today.
Vickery did the right thing taking the kick from 30 m out to put us in front.
We still do silly hand passes to people because they are name players, not because it's sensible.
At 16 goals 9 we kicked very straight. I think it was the lack of pressure. At 15 goals 10 collingwood kicked very well too. I think it was the lack of pressure.
