Well, thats much, much better than previous weeks. Really just the turnovers that are killing us ... not the turn overs, the lack of forward pressure, the last of defensive pressure, the lack of defensive running, the lack of intelligent defending, the lack of intelligent forward craft, the lack of positioning around the contest, the lack of intelligent ball use going inside 50, and poor kicking for goal.

Alright asses at Qrt-time
- Plenty of turn overs but we're trying not the bomb it
- When Gawn is off it's costing us
- Melk is making things happen going inside 50, just hasn't quite hit them sweetly yet
- ANB unsighted but at least hard running
- Jones i think is flying under the Rader, going ok atm

My honest opinion is despite the drying we are getting from the commentators that it was an ok first quarter but not sustainable.

We smashed them in contested footy, kicked almost all of our set shots and yet its still just 1 kick. I dont think we can play any better than that where as the tigs will maintain the same level each quarter.
We didnt win any ground balls inside 50 and conceded all our goals from the opposite

Best quarter of the year. Hibbo forward of the ball, McDonald behind it, all three smalls sitting up forward and keeping pressure on them. All i’m worries about is the switch next quarter. Otherwise very pleased

Clive Palmer is an interesting character. Just watched an ad complaining about having people from New South Wales, Canberra and now Victoria calling the shots... so instead, support the UNITED AUSTRALIA PARTY so we can **** those filthy suvvern campaigners off!!

Yeah exactly the same as last year but didnt kick straight and they ended up belting us cause we ran out of legs. Think might of had couple injuries tho

Better, but turning it over a lot coming out of defence. Seeing Richmonds forward pressure compared to what we've served up most of this season is insane.

Using it well going forward and converting chances is nice to watch.
