Where is Cotchin?

SEN mentioned Cotch went off the ground a while back. Seemed to go to the bench once the game was effectively over.

The Giants have now outscored the Tigers (10.3.63) to (5.6.36) since half-time. This has been due to a combination of their tackling pressure (58 tackles to 45) and their kicking efficiency of 73 per cent.

Kane Lambert has had a team high 17 disposals, 5 score involvements and 3 inside 50's since half time.

The Giants have won 3 of 4 center bounce clearances and lead the inside 50's (10 to 6) for the quarter.

Remember the good old days when Towner played on these half backs and made them  accountable.  Apparently we just let these players just do whatever now

We'll probably drop Balta even though he is a sitting duck at FB with the way the ball is easily coming down.


Oleg now in the ruck  .

towner is no good apparently. Butler a far much better prospect

Our team selections this year are odd. Chase Lynch to play 2 tall forwards together and then when Jack gets injured we go back to 1 tall forward rather than bring in another tall.

higgins 1 tackle
squib 1 tackle
markov 2 tackle
lynch 1 tackle
cotch 2 tackles
butler 1 tackle

[Lozza]

Serious questions need asking this next week, it's understood we are undermanned but I question the efforts of a number of players who were out there tonight, token, very token.

Special mention to young Mr Stack, great debut and well and truly showed up some very seasoned professional tonight

We are the only football team that run into an open goal and kick it to a 50/50 contest.

Our skills are horrible.

horrible! horrible!

why on earth do we still play a zone?

[torch]

I question the system!

How can we have 10 goals scored with more opponents in their 50? How does that happen?

[georgies31]

It's the senior players letting our team down premiership players not good enough just coasting around and again I say it to comfortable in the side.Agree with other people why we fail to tag players and they always hurt us.Dimma needs to get a plan B cause it's not working haven't like what I have seen from the first preseason game from coaching setup.

I never advocate  mass changes. Downgrading to even more few game  players is not the answer but the following players need to be looked at.

Butler
Containa
Graham
Ellis
McIntosh
Markov

And even Martin.

Anybody that says Short is soft has to take a good look at his effort even after getting injured.

Ellis
George
OUT!!

Nank has been belted the past 2 weeks...Soldo should be given an opportunity soon.
Butler and Graham need gripo and loads of it.

We need to grind it out to be 3/3 but changes of players is required.

Stack - 
Lynch - 

Markov wasn't bad i thought and should retain his position.

Baker for George and Houli for Ellis...a few others required but need the dust to settle.

[one-eyed]

We conceded 90 points from our turnovers  .
