Good start

[JP Tiger]

Menadue is everywhere!  In the back pocket one moment, then across HB, then wing.  Then gets forward, leads up & marks to kick our first goal!     
Keep it up son!

Sick of seeing our forwards playing from behind.

Really concerned about conca, seen him make a number of basic but glaring errors in half a qtr of footy

1. Deep In defence running with the ball in dispute and bouncing towards the boundary, he tries to do something fancy by stopping short, winning the ball and turning blind back into the corridor instead of paddling it to the boundary. It didn't come off simply bc only someone like Rioli could maybe pull something like that off. Wtf is he even thinking about trying to do something like that?

2. Misses a 15 metre pass under no pressure ala the elim final

3. Gets caught holding the ball after trying to take on poppy - again near the boundary line - take it over.

Decision making and basic skills lacking

Jack is killing them. 5 marks all of them contested.

[🏅Dooks]

Chol would have marked both those

Cotch tackles Burgoyne and gets the free. Over to Dusty who short passes to Ivan. Switch to Floss, Houli and  Ellis and we go long. Edwards had a chance but mucks it up.

Ball-up near our goal and now throw-in. Hawks pinged for deliberate. Cotch free 20m out on the boundary. His kick is across the face and it's a throw-in on the other side. Now a bounce and the Hawks clear.

Game full of stoppages but when we break through we're missing good opportunities when we get it forward.
