We need Better defending setup, sick of this manning grass and they get the overlap. They work it out & up the wing then nail a pass to a leading fwd, all too easy. Better delivery to the fwds. In the Melb game we were honoring leads, but now it's back to the Bolton/Teague yrs of bombing it in. Better output from our small fwds. PLEASE. This has been documented well. Better 2nd efforts from our main fwd and he gets out bodied toooo easy, at least make a contest and bring the ball to ground. Big H is marking well but gets scragged in contests unfairly. Better decision making when ball in hand. Too many blinds kicks, too many handballs in a chain that always puts the last guy under pressure because the oppo can see where the next handball is going. Bad decision making. Better set shot goal kicking, kick through the ball, not under the ball. All shots are looping in. Need Fev as goal kicking coach. Just be Better
I know it's probably unfair to say all this but being an armchair critic its easy to offer advice. Sometimes with the expectation of winning I feel it's easier as a supporter to go back to the sad years and expect a loss and really enjoy the odd unexpected win. The losses now hurt.
I don't get the favorites tag as we have SOOOO many injuries, they get a couple and it's panic stations. We are still a work in progress, being the reigning Premiers with a couple of injuries should still make them the favorites. Hopeful for a win but more to the point NO MORE injuries!
If he staged then he should be suspended. I would like the AFL to come out and say it was a free kick or he staged.
It looked soft compared to other hits but anything above the shoulders is high. It doesn't matter if the tackler is a 'good guy'. Plus Williams probably got a finger to the face as the hand went past hence staying down and holding his face.
