Our midfield went missing pretty much the whole game, bar Goodes. McVeigh had a great first quarter and then seemed to pack it up thinking he'd done his job.
- Matthews was not up to the level he needed to be. Too slow.
- Kicking to the forward line was atrocious.
- Magic just doesn't have it in him to beat the first defender these days. Not his fault though, he shouldn't have to. Barry stuffed us up.
- It's strange to say it, but I think we missed Ablett. He's one of our only midfielders who gets the ball from a clearance and gives it a roost. We tried to handball it out too many times today and turned it over a a result.
- Kicking for goal, was once again, atrocious. You can't afford to miss that many set shots. We'll get away with it against the weaker sides, but the Bulldogs just punished us. They showed every team how to kick today. That should be the standard in the AFL, but sadly it's not. We should do nothing but have goal kicking practice this week. We need to hire a kicking coach.
I need to watch the replay.
