We always get opposition sides back into the game just when we are on the threshold of kicking away to a 10+ goal win. This is why we never get the minor premiership.

I think our midfield has broken even. Forwards the difference in this match

Hardly. We have dominated all day and aren't going to lose. We don't need to be flat track bullies and win by 80. As much as it would be nice, it makes no logical sense to play too hard and risk injuries.
But that's the problem. We dominate and somehow lose the quarter haha. This club works too hard not to get better reward on the scoreboard in games like these.

I think our midfield has been better but it's not a dominant advantage.

I think the forwards have taken that marginal advantage and turned it into 6 more goals so far.

We aren't flat track bullies but we need to stop playing the score. We need to open the margin and keep the margin, instead of slowing and giving the other team a window

I have no idea, but we never seem to put teams to the sword. It could just be the coaches trying to keep the players fresh?

I'm not that disappointed by regular players switching off, it happens when you're up big. But the fringe players should go all out in an effort to keep themselves in the side for next week. I'm looking at you, Matho.

Horrible to let 4 of them run forward from that contest
