Ok my thought on how this will pan out.
we've kicked 3.8 and exhausted ourselves
cripples and injuries on the bench now
after halftime the game will open up
think they will have the momentum and snatch the win
think we sealed our fate in that quarter kicking poorly
our best players are 1st year players - stuffing disgusting
dgaf if you disagree, something has to be done

[hyperlite]

how hard is it to get a team ready to go for the start of a season?

Kicking points from 25-35m out on a slight angle is unacceptable.

Up against it here - pies shizen kicking is the only thing saving us so far.

[Lozza]

That half was not AFL standard I dont care what anyone says. Both teams should be ashamed, against any decent side both sides would down by at least 10 goals. I can honestly say that I have never seen a game in what appear to be perfect conditions with so many skill errors by hand and foot.

[mightytiges]

A game that makes the coach rip his hair out. We dominated that quarter and should be 5 goals up but kicked 1.6 and gifted the Pies a goal via our idiotic unforced turnovers  .

Any news on Grigg, Short (shoulder?) and Astbury? We've already lost Grimes  .

[dwaino]

How many more injuries until we can call the game off?

My pet hate in bold. Poor technique most of our misses.

The effort was there that quarter unlike last week but just too many dumb unforced turnovers including in front of the big sticks.

[mightytiges]

Was that a mark?

[Francois Jackson]

great kick cotch, all 27 metres of it.

[mightytiges]

Free to Hampson at the throw-in. Of to Houli who misses from 50.

Cotch gets it back and weaves through to Dusty who snaps a goal

That's why you didn't play in round 1, Taylor. Two shocking kicks. Costs us a goal with the first one and Gifts the Pies a goal with the second crap kick
