Didn't see a second of it and I know it's only JLT but looking at the raw stats our midfielders and team dominated possession and yet we only walked away with a narrow victory against last seasons worst side.
Not getting much bang for our buck was the blueprint for Collingwood prior to the 2018 season so should I be worried?
Needless to say we need de Goey and Stephenson back for Geelong with Hoskin-Elliott hopefully not to far away either to strengthen the attack.
Did Cox play the whole game as his performance looks underwhelming?
Our ability to score was average - having some really clean ball through the middle particularly in the 1st half.
Ball use of half back was putrid all day which didn’t help the forwards.
But there’s enough to have some concerns on what a fwd line without DeGoey looks like.
Cox was ok but not great. Goldsack, Brown, Varcoe, Mihocek as a Forward grouping simply don’t have the scoring power so my hope is only 1-2 of these ever appear in there together.
The mids did flick the ball around a lot so the stats were misleading. Cripps was just as effective as any of them.
It was ok but enough to make me edgy about Rd 1-4.
