Campbell at best will be a structural player which is important especially for Brown, that said Brown is still struggling to get involved, but our disposal when entering 50 hasn't helped him.

Been a decent quarter, but still need to use the ball better.

A lot happier with that first quarter, our defence looked solid and we looked more composed with the ball. We know when to play fast and when play the possession game, don't know what was said during the week, but early on, it looks to have worked.

Also, congrats to Thomas for making his debut. Hopefully its a more successful one than Bailey's last week.

Good start.

Pittard, McMillan, McKay really good across the back half.

Campbell providing a lot of structure, would’ve been useful last week.

Turner good. See if he can do it for more than a quarter.

Polec, Hall and Higgins providing aome
Run. Higgins disposal has been poo.

McDonald and Simpkin are the only two who have been poor. Simpson’s defensive positioning at stoppages needs to be looked at, he is allowing Neale and Berry way way way too much space when he is opposed to them.

Better qrtr.

Campbell presenting and crashing packs well.

Hall and Polac clean.

Concerned how the lions mids have broken out of the contest several times..

If it wasn't for the rushed kick by the Lions which allowed are talks to pick them off, we would of payed dearly.

Ziebell needs to present better as an option up forward

Aaaah, the difference a defence makes! Benny looking very composed+ his disposal has improved out of sight. We just need to slow things down in the middle. We’re rushing things. We need to settle like Collingwood did on Thursday.

Has all the talent in the world.
What we forget is he took time off footy during his teens and has been chopped and changed between forward and defense.

He will be fine.
He didnt teally take time off. Just went back to warragul from gippsland power and played lvfl seniors at chb while harry persisted with tac cup.
