This is almost as bad as watching us play last night.

El Nour to HF. Brindley good contested mark enables us to get it inside 50. Bradtke the free but we take the risky advantage but still get the goal to Hicks  .

Quick centre clearance but it's touched through for a point.

Good forward pressure at HF. Dow long to Bradtke in the pocket and he gets the free. Misses across the face.
