Thanks to our forwards forgetting their job is to kick goals not stuff them up :banghead

Another lesson in not playing injured players too  :scream.

its not just the fwds, deledio missed a sitter and didnt make up for it!
he also had a chance to stamp is name and kick a 55m bomb for goal and missed, we does not work hard enough, he has foley in the midfield buther the ball in the first half and white who runs around teh ground like a chook with no head
10% more out of newman, white deledio riewoldt  and morton and we would have won by 5 goals

Overall I think we played  better than  last week (when we won)......Fantastic intensity all over the ground..We matched the masters of intensity....We slaughtered so many opportunities in the forward line.Players need to back themselves more.Another "if only" game.They were on the ropes and we didn't have the polish to deliver the Knock out blow.

That was a different side then I've ever seen play at the SCG.

I haven't seen a tiger side display such tenacity and defensive pressure in a game before.

They worked really hard off the ball to contest possession and I'm real proud of the boys, while I still walked out of there a loser at least I could hold my head up.

yep, our forward line is very light on, we badly need a talented forward to emerge with danger written all over him, this group would improve 3 fold...we're beginning to win the pill, just cant amount to anything ::)

mitch needs a spell at the burgers with another lazy player who are born gifted, being born with natural talent is not enough, its all about work ethic and attitude and these two players im talking about lack these 2 qualities because thay had it easy all their lives due to their natural talent

The big difference between Mitch's form this year and last is that the opposition realize that Mitch is our best forward and giving him the defensive respect accordingly. If some of our other tall forwards can step up then it would free Mitch up and he would be much more dangerous. You can't expect an injuried Richo and a heavily tagged Morton to win the game alone. We need Jack to kick more goals and we desperately need a full forward (read Schulz, Hughes, Vickery, Post, Putt or Gourdis time to pull your collective fingers out NOW!  :banghead)

Yep something I have been saying for a while, ATM Morton is our most dangerous looking forward and gets the attention duly received.  He shouldn't be our No1 forward target and needs a KPP forward to stand up and take the load off this young players shoulders.

Well said. Playing as a small forward is so tough, every kick you get is 100% earnt. I think we're being way to hard on Mitch he's performances this year have been par at worst and apart from this week he's been in our best 5-10 every week for mine.
