[🏅Dooks]

gws are WAAYY cleaner by foot and hand.

our finishing is shocking.

[YellowandBlackBlood]

How are we ahead?

[mightytiges]

Lack of pressure and intensity to many passengers out there need to lift got to hit the score board kick straight.

Yep. Too many passengers in the first half. Dusty, Rioli and Rance keeping us in it. 

Add too much dumb footy and fumbling by the usual suspects as well.

Our defensive set-up behind the ball when the ball goes inside F50 has been ordinary. We haven't been able to hold it in there. Too much trying to keep the ball alive even when it's a very low percentage option. The Giants have killed us on the HB rebound.

Finally, our set shot goalkicking has been crap again  .

Good thing that we are getting beaten in the stats but ahead on the board as it means if we fix it up we've got this. Reckon the biggest thing is allowing GWS to run it out of our forward line too easy. Need to get that forward pressure happening.

And yet we could (should) have had about 3 more that Quarter. Georgie competing hard but ffs can he drill one please?

[mightytiges]

That's holding the ball!

Dusty had a shot anyway and misses.

38 - 36

Dusty kicking at goal has gone use to drill them.

[mightytiges]

Rioli snap is a goal

[mightytiges]

How is that not holding the ball on Himmelberg? 

[georgies31]

I hope we settle and use the crowd to advantage.We need everybody this half to lift.

[mightytiges]

Rioli free and goes long. No one could get a boot to it. Rushed.

45 - 38
