Dimma addressed this in his email video and says there's a complete fall away in contested possessions in our first quarters. He blames our guys feeling intimidated against the top sides and that we give away too many free kicks.

Brisbane and North aren't top sides and we got outscored by both.

We still have yet to win a first quarter this season.

As great as the win was today once again our first quarter today was ordinary. Very lucky to be level with us stuffing up our kick-ins  :P. We just seem to need a quarter to get into the game and counter anything the opposition try  :-\. Thankfully Freo's answer to Goldilocks couldn't kick straight all night  :lol.

It's gone beyond a joke now after 8 straight weeks. Perhaps we should run out 30 mins before the game starts so we are ready to play by the first siren  :scream

You just can't start that poorly against teams like the bulldogs. If we had started right we could have beaten them but we didn't and we paid the price

Maybe Hardwick needs to go more defensive in the first quarter. Is it possible our game plan is a little too attacking against fresh legs and therefore early pressure makes it harder for us being a young squad to play in that way. It appears to me that as the game goes on we seem fleeter footed than the teams we have beaten thus far but early its more even. I think until we get the across the board body strength we are going to struggle early in games.

towards the end of the first quarter they showed the time in each clubs forward half.
it was 60% to us 40% to them.

They just made more of their opprtunites than we did, a trend that continued most of the game.

Agree Al, we were more guilty today of butchering the ball than not having enough of it.

It's becoming our season killer, for a season that doesn't have to be another average one.
