Good:
JZ, Higgo, Dal, Wright, Goldie
Good to see LT gain confidence as the game went on
Ball movement was possibly the best for the year

Bad:
Typical second quarter brain fade. Another 3 quarter effort
Bastihac's howlers in the first half were truly horrible

Positives:
- 10 goal win despite playing ordinarily.
- The games of JZ and Higgo
- LT returning to some form by keeping his head up despite starting slowly
- Sitting 6th

Negatives:
- Has anyone ever been less satisfied by back-to-back 10-goal wins? I know I haven't.
- Thompson is a shadow of the player he was
- Sam Gibson is no longer an asset. Was in seasons past, but he just kills our momentum so often.
- 2nd quarter lapse again

Or fate is in our hands. Pull the finger out and we may do some damage. Geez we miss Wells

+'s
- Did what we had to.
- Ziebs, Higgo, Dal, Cunners all excellent.
- Goldy just keeps plodding along.

-'s
- 2nd qtrs becoming a real worry. Better teams will kill us off and wont be able to get back into it.
- Kicking errors still way too costly.
- Gibson, how does he still get a game.


Top 4 smokey. Go on a run and win all remaining games, might even sneak into 3rd.

Will take the 4 points and ziebs is turning into a serious leader. Goldy generally good again. Atley is breaking lines and using it well. Would like another fast player off the other flank though to complement him.

However we seriously need to work on our disposal, positional awareness, fwd 50 structure and fwd 50 entries. It was a shambles all night. The last 6 minutes were ordinary, really could have scored a few more goals.

Musings
  • Ziebell our best for mine, stayed in the game, was strong and powerful in the middle. Clearance goal was sensational.
  • Surprised Dal Santo only had 22, thought he was excellent. Such a calming figure in transition.
  • Higgins is the recruit of the season, having a wonderful year.
  • Petrie was good, as was Waite. Our forward line is working beautifully (3rd highest scoring team this year).
  • Backline was a little shaky at times, tempting to bring Hansen back next week as we struggled at times with the Blues big forwards, didn't hurt us too much.
  • Goldstein good again without being his best game of 2015.
  • Atley is back to his running self, having a good month.
  • Nahas would like his chances this week, both Turner and Garner (albeit sub) didn't take their chances tonight.
  • Thomas looked confused at times, hope he hasn't lost confidence in his kicking.
  • If Macmillan were fit he'd come in for McDonald I think, had a bit of it but still not quite there for me.
  • Bank the 4-points, keep putting pressure on Tigers, Hawks and Swans.
