I suspect Charlie is carrying an ankle injury suffered a couple of weeks ago.

Winning games from individual brilliance and no system can only get a side so far. Badly exposed these past two weeks in particular. Been like that for too long.

Probably?

The umpires do their best and we must take the good with the bad. That is footy and you make your own luck.

There is a fundamental premise here. The better side usually wins 99% of the time. Blaming umpires is a myopic response. Good coaches know that. Given the nature of our game, it is a challenging game to umpire and yes mistakes will be made. The game is open to interpretation thereby allowing...

What happened to Marchbank?

I recall hearing some where last year that junior coaches were not encouraging players to work on their non preferred side. Being two sided always provides more options.

What a shambles. The only way we will win this will be via individual brilliance. There is no system going forward. What did they do over summer? Hansen needs a good hard look at what leadership he is or not providing.

Been happening for years

We are going to have to be on our game to get over the line tonight. A good contest. We are getting beaten around the ball.

He has some poise and class.

I'll get in early, Jack Carroll was great. Orazio was off the pace but only early.

The rubbish continues.

Is there anything to like?

This is worse than the Doggies game last year and that was so very sad.

So slow.... just could not cover the ground. They just run away....

Positive signs from Williams.

We have a very slow midfield. Dodgy skill set as well.

Much better there.

Only early but signs are there for us to be outmuscled and outworked.

Your point regarding execution is very valid. It was a problem last year and there seemed no great improvement over the two practice games. Our captain is one of the main offenders by foot. Cerra is really the only quality user in the middle.

To be honest, I can't see us getting close to Brisbane. Too many holes.

Poor skills are the key. Our captain is one of the chief offenders. Grunt but no class. As a side, we lack poise and composure with the ball.

Totally agree with the skills observations. Very poor execution. There were collective sighs from around me in the Legends stand on quite a few occasions.

Just back in Gippsland after a pretty warm day in Melbourne. Some general observations The effort was there back the lack of poise and composure was telling. The structures of the forward and defence were substandard. Far too much kicking blindly. Similar to the first half of the season last...

Kemp made some terrible errors. Was not clean with possession.

I actually though he was ordinary. His skills were not great. I watched him closely.

I saw you up there. Looks like you would have had a great day.

Yet to be convinced that Willams is the real deal. Underwhelming so far. Hoping of course the lad has a blinder of a season.

Was not particularly impressed at all with the first version that arrived from GWS. Hopefully, his year away from the game has brought home the need fora more professional approach to his game. All will be revealed.
