Direct Football

Did anyone else notice our total lack of it in the second half?

We had the better forwards by a mile and yet Port were the ones kicking to the contest and backing their forwards to win.
Pavlich and Tarrant were doing enough to back them in.
Unfortunately, Pav was the only one getting decent service.

We went sideways and slowly and seemed to hold the ball too long.

Wasn't alot of it in the first half either Lach. Port definately backed in their tall forwards after half time - we didn't at all IMO.

Without Fortitude or determination, even direct kicking wouldn't have saved us.
