Just got home from the game. Bloody good atmosphere, must've nudged a sellout.
Goods:
The weather. Canberra can get bloody cold in the evening, but tonight was perfect.
KOZZIE. * he is good to watch. If the ball is within 80m of him you want to find where he is. So fast and always on and working hard. Doesn't waste his touches.
Gawn. Marked everything tonight and hit the scoreboard. Great game.
Jackson. Smart with his ruckwork and had some handy touches around the ground.
Brayshaw and Langdon both worked hard up and down the wings. Brayshaw isn't a natural at it but gets around the ground well to help out. Langdon just busts his arse all game. Love it.
Hunt had an ok game. Running game was there and definitely tried lowering the eyes to hit targets but kicking remains iffy.
Spargo was solid. Smart user and works hard around the ground.
Fritsch. Wasn't quite close enough to show him TKs lab, but did whisper to myself before each set shot to drop it low and not lean back, and he kicked most of them (obvs didn't work for his snap round the corner that missed(. So I'm claiming credit for that accuracy!
Good fightback from a slow start and those quick goals in the last.
Bad:
Leaking goals easily. Greene is pretty bloody handy, but we gave him some easy opportunities through dropped marks or poor work up the ground.
First quarter was poor. Typical 2019/20 stuff of having 15 inside 50s but not scoring while the oppo can walk it in the other end. Our defense was slow to setup and we left too many spare Giants free trying to 'zone'.
Trac gets the red mist a bit too often. A few moments where he tried to do too much and butchered it.
Sparrow, TMc did stuff all. Jones pretty quiet too.
No individuals were totally bad though. Overall a solid performance albeit against an undermanned and underwhelming opposition.
