It's a weird game for us. The inside stuff that aimed to fix with our recruiting has been reasonable (matching the Dees in clearances). It's everything else which is meant to be our strengths that has gone to pot. Our defending and pressure is poor and our forward play is totally dysfunctional. We can't hit targets and once the ball hits the deck there is zero forward pressure from our smalls to keep it in there for repeat entries and Melbourne just sweep it out so easily like it's circle work.
One Tiger escaping the spotlight today is Bolton. I know it's his first preseason game but he's been unsighted.
Floss, Baker, Dow and perhaps Taranto have been okay. So many Tigers are down.
