start a worry

[d_schwarz]

If melbourne are wanting to be a real contender in the finals we have to get off to a better start. Most teams wont let a side come back once they are 28 points in front. Melbourne were lucky to get back in the game, and eventually pull it off.

TJ played well along with a few others, yet if we are going to be there in september we need all our boys running hard and they need to play from the start and run all game!

However, i still reckon they did a fantastic job and congratulations on winning boys! keep it going!

It's bizzare because our first two rounds saw us have blistering starts but lately we've been shocking early. We are STILL yet to put in a four quarter effort.

It's a worry but hey at least we're exciting!

It's not the WORST strategy though is it? I would rather be slow starting fast finishing than slow finishing and fast starting. We just need to ensure the gap at quarter time is more like 1-2 goals that 6-7.

I heard the stat that in the last 10 games (including WCE), we have one just ONE first quarter. That is a damning statistic!

I think we just need to switch on a bit better. We were not too bad in the first qtr yesterday, just that out disposal going forward to Neitz was absolutely atrocious. I have seen the replay and was well ****ed off with our disposal!

Bring on the Doggies!

If they don't start well this week, after it happening for so many weeks now, they have a serious problem. Might need a change in the warm up, or something pre game to get them firing from the start.

There must be something they are not doing right. It just makes things hard for us when we give a team such a big head start, as we have to play catch up football all damn day and it's a pain in the ass to watch.

Attack the ball hard from the out set and have a fair dinkum go from the start and not from half way through the second qtr.

My great fear is that one day we'll go out there & concede yet another 7 goal headstart & the comback won't come leaving us with a belting on our hands.

We can't continue to rely on our fighting spirit, it's great but we can't take it 4 granted.
