Our big problem is we dominate inside 50's but don't make the most of our forward chances. We seem to dominate inside 50's against most teams but don't use it effectively and then we drop the game. The Port game especially. Need to make sure we convert this week.

Hunt's early year was poor, we need to reset the clock here.
Yeah that was the most disappointing thing about his early form. His disposal has always been hit and miss, and he was never always going to be able to break the line and go on a run, but his defending should have been a non-negotiable week after week, and I think that was why he was dropped. You look at Harmes and ANB's early form, they weren't having the output that they were later the year before, or what they're having now, but their pressure and work rate was still there, which is why I think they were left in the team to find form. If Hunt is back, which I think he will be, I'm choosing to think that it'll be because he's got those defensive efforts back.
Well we got Bernie to 100. Job done
Will be interesting to see if there is something in this
Yep, will take Smith’s role as an intercept/third-up defender. Been playing the role well in the VFL, and without Hibberd/Lever/Smith we’re out of other viable options.
Me too. Our defence has room for improvement full stop, let alone when it’s a mixed group covering on injuries - doesn’t look like a premiership winning defence in any way. So I’m hoping our attack is sufficient to scrape us into finals this year, just because I’m bored with never even making it that far. Then hopefully a spot of preseason focus - drafting / trading / structure whatever to make a priority of strengthening our defence (including strong depth) so we can be a proper, grown up team for 2019.
Will definitely applaud AJ's first touch, but yeah I suspect TMac and Hogan will be extra mobile to try and stretch him and Aliir. Can't see Johnson being able to follow them up the wing, but I said the same about Dunn and Scharenberg and they blitzed us.
