Actually I made 3 errors not just two. No more posting when straight out of bed for this little insomniac.

Don't think I didn't see the other error but the human side of me left that one out.
Talking of insomnia..... I need to stop doing Wordle at midnight!
sr36 could contribute more than he is currently doing. Ask him. I am sure he has more than a thought or two on the topic that he would care to share.
Thanks for reminding me. I haven't done Wordle for a couple of weeks. I'll give it a go now while the mind fog is clearing.
There's a really interesting YouTube channel that seems to be dedicated to preserving radio broadcasts They've uploaded several full broadcasts of the weekends game. If you're like me and love radio broadcasts these are pretty good. I've been listening to them while I work

I just think it's personnel and our midfielders don't have as clean hands as any other midfield around - we fumble the first touch too often. And the couple that are really clean with their ball handling - Pendles and Lippa - are slow and not strong.

Its clear when you watch a player like Lachie Neale. His touch in close is elite

Same with their other bloke, whose name I'm having a mental block about.

That's not the one I meant. - Lyon
And if you replace Pendles and Lippa with clean DE bulls like Clarry, Viney and Trac, well.................
What's also contributing to the problem is >not< clean HO, like Cameron to Degs at the throw in the fwd pocket - all too rare, especially at Centre bounce.
What we are good at is after the centre bounce, we are good at turnover, that implies closing space on the oppo without ball >and< holding shape outside the contest on the ball win.
But you're right we need to sure up the centre contest, can't rely on pressure after the fact in september.
I’m still on cloud nine about this game….the number of game changing monstrous tackles was amazing
From memory….
Maynard’s gang tackle on Langdon, wrapping him up like a Peking Duck pancake
Maynard’s. chest charge on Neil-bullshit
Three strong tackles by Elliott resulting in three goals
Mccreery rag dolling May.
Daicos doing a David and Goliath anD also bringing May down

It speaks volumes when the clubs website top 5 highlights features 5 of those tackles
