This. I'm not mad because Collingwood are the reigning premiers for a reason and they showed it that quarter. They were always going to come back. Their pressure was through the roof. Despite that, we've had our fair share of chances.

Still ahead so it's all about what we show in the second half.

Yep, just see last week when they came back against Port, a team that smashed us.

 

[ghostdog]

Yes!!! We won the first half ..come on!!

It's doable!

Kelly and Laverde are not up to consistent AFL football I have seen enough but they keep getting picked. both are just dumb footballers and slow as in the mind just hate it when they have the ball or it goes near them...!!!

 

[Goat Hird]

Sends the wrong message to keep picking guys that aren't performing.

Could easily replace them with Roberts and Hayes.

Please pity my screenless existence with an obliging reply;
What have been our strengths and weaknesses?
How's Calders going? I see he hasnt had much ball.
How's Duz going?
Any standouts?

Both trying hard Duz doing the better of the 2. Prismall with 30

Go footy

We’ve had 12 more turnovers ..got to lift there ..and -14 in tackles. Very nervy down back ..we haven’t marked many and when ball hits the ground we’re struggling to cope.

The arm pull and 50 from Lav was dumb as.

 

[Knighta21]

How does noble take out jones yet McKay has his eyes on the ball and they get the free kick? Just bullshit.

 

[Call Me Cake]

We're winning centre clearances and stoppage clearances by 50%

Winning possessions, marks

We were 3rd going into this game for inside 50 tackles... stat for us so far? 0-13. Very telling.

Must put more pressure on their defenders when we have it in our forward 50 and go back to our usual i50 tackling. It creates more shots and does more to keep it in our 50, which is what's costing us. Feel like going in so tall has done it's part to stifle this.

 

[andleanback]

Have to increase our tackle pressure to be any chance in the 2nd half. 24 tackles in a half is no where near good enough against a top 4 side. Back 6 need to be more composed with the ball in hand, silly unforced errors are hurting us big time.

 

[justlookingaround]

Is Moore captain in name only? Pendles seems to do most the onfield leadership

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Nice Hep, kick it right down Moore's throat.

 

[bommer16]

Davey will get there

Umps thought about not paying the front on contact free

if anything its a positive that we were outworked in that quarter (q2) but were still ahead.

Need to keep taking the game on and take our chances

 

[rumply]

phew

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Cox went quick and we score.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Great team goal there.

That's what we should do when we recognize that we are winning possessions, clearances, marks, etc, need to make the most of it to get in touch.
