We are just hoping the ball spills at every marking contest but the Crows are just too good in the air. Also a gulf of difference between their foot skills and ours. The cracks have appeared and its just a case of whether it turns into a canyon. If we get the ball moving in the second half we have to be precise and that's something we haven't been and in fact in the first 5 games we haven't really been precise but managed to get away with it against lower quality teams. We just have to get back to that manic pressure to ensure there disposal efficiency is also affected.

  • RWNJ / Leftist Snowflake - depends who you ask....
Castagna is having a dirty day, lots of turn overs, same with conche snoz
All the effort in the world will not cover for poor disposal skills

Bolton and Stengle surely breathing right down his neck now.

It was the pathetic switch to defensive, Yandb is right, they dropped a man back instead of maintaining the pressure!  Why die wondering?  Nerves from the coaching box imo

Changes must be made.

Put vlaustin down back as he's a liability up forward at the minute and hasn't laid a tackle.

Given that Morris hasn't gone onto Betts for one second I am staggered that he was selected
