Ball comes off a pack, brisbane gets it every time.

Smashed in clearances too.

Finally managed to start some decent link up plays, transitioning the ball in the last 10 minutes. That has been the turnaround.

Need to sort out the stoppages, or we're in trouble.
It's common sense reading the wind. If the wind is in your face the ball will most likely come over the back. Especially when wet. They had a seagull out the back mopping up throughout that last quarter.
 
AhChee's snap was a goal. I was sitting right behind it

However...

So it’s under a minute to go, we’re kicking in and we need to maintain possession

Every player goes to the right side of the field

Does NO ONE think to quickly run back to the left side so they’re on their own and the player kicking out can kick it to them for an uncontested mark???!!!

JESUS FECKIN CHRIST!!

Nicks thinks it works though

I thought that's what Smith was trying at the end when Brisbane were all way closer than they legally could to be. He was ushering everyone to the right and we had a few guys boundary side on the left and I thought it was a master stroke fake out.

Nope, long and right lol.

Lohmann would have smothered anything left - was very close

Helps if experienced players think through the situation better. Ball falls to ANB - who should have worn a tackle and got a ball up, tries a dinky kick forward and Brisbane get it and push straight back inside 50. A couple of similar opps (one with Dawson) as well
And that's the thing, he usually does take the tackle

Consider that the square up for the supposed goal. Umpire told him repeatedly to move back, then got sick of it and called play on. There was no way he was as far back as he needed to be.

If only we had a 197cm wingman who generally towers over his direct opponent that we could try this with🤔....

The whole last 10 minutes too!

We kick for distance, they clean it up off the pack. Like 20 times in a row!

Terrible, amazing we won somehow doing that. Amazing defence.

It really was. Great win but I feel like we lose that 9 times out of 10. Very lucky they were so inaccurate. Umpiring favoured us too overall.

Nah. Previous years we lose a game like that 10 out of 10 times. We've improved

I remember saying last year we were there and thereabouts. First we’d start winning. Then we’d start winning the close ones. Then we’d win from behind. Next we’ll win against a contender away from home. We are there and thereabouts.
