Another game in which we won ugly after a promising start. We could have been overrun but....... we weren't. We had a lot of passengers and still won. Well done boys.
Poor umpiring affected both sides.
Pendles was brilliant 38 possessions, 16 contested, 7 marks; 3 clearances, 6 tackles, 4 I50's, as was Grundy with 24 possessions; 16 contested; 6 marks, 3 clearances, 6 tackles, 2 I50's, 39 HO's and a couple of brain fades. Crisp and Adams hardly put a foot wrong.
We do not have a great midfield. Yes we have good midfielders however, they hardly play well or consistently at the same time. They looked slow.
Clearances -11;
Stoppages -8;
Centre -4;
2.10 from set shots.
Brown for the good things he does is let down by his poor kicking, which lacks any penetration. He kicked 0.3 with all his shots within 30-35m and basically directly in front.
Beams looked slow and his disposal was poor. Was he injured?. Varcoe was poor. He had one kick after QT and finished with 4 for the game which included two direct turnovers. Mihocek, other than his goal in the 1st Q, was unsighted. Thomas and Stevo had another poor game
