We have no answer to McGovern and Kennedy. And never will.

Our players a fricken dumb with ball in hand, they literally set it up for him regularly, instead of kicking to better option either shorter or to his opponent.

He often leaves his man before they dispose of it reading where they are heading early.

Even on the boundary that handball chain that he spoiled, our players watched him come in and then still tried to hit up a loop handball (they had options and time to kick instead...). Just dumb sometimes.
 
Crisp having a mare by his standards.

If Sidebottom can't shake the tag move him forward.

Some crap umpiring decisions but West Coast lifted and we failed to respond until the final few minutes.

Losing clearances and contested ball is no good against an Eagles team who are stronger on the outside.

Go harder Pies!

We are right in it despite getting toweled in the middle. Just need to lift our intensity around stoppages and we will win this.

Umpiring is horrendous.
How are we 'right in it despite getting towelled up in the middle'? Please explain? Where are we winning?
 
Plenty not going our way, but plenty we can improve on too. Sier or Wills in the centre would be nice, can we sub someone at halftime?

They have our number West Coast, completely slow down our ball movement. Don't see us winning this game.

Getting smashed in the clearances though. Done totally in hard ball gets.

Gaff sits defensive side of the set up at bounces, he stays back and both wings come in to provide a line, our players all get sucked in to the contest it spills or 1 handball often to Gaff who is alone he either then handballs to the wings/other mids who sprint fwd in a wave.
We are also struggling to hold the quicks from these stoppages, petraculle ryan jetta shuey etc all have good pace and often our players cant keep up on the hard spread.

we need to not all get sucked in at the contest and have a mid on Gaffs side holding his line.
 
You haven't seen any of the 15 possessions to half time?
I saw possessions in the first quarter but not in the second. He certainly hasn't won possessions out of the middle.
 
Our lack of run and carry from the backline is hurting us again.
