Im very worried about the pies pace next week. They also love to run in waves and i hope voss can devise a gameplan to make it difficult for them. While the cats are faster on the outside we had no plan and no structure at all to slow them down. If we cant counter it next week will be a similar result.

Despite poor conversion and umpiring going against us i thought Scott out coached Voss and we had no answers to counter the play. Used Hawkins as a decoy and burnt us on the rebound with outside run and as a result when they went inside they had space to work into. As they are so clinical when they have time and space we were always going to be up against it.

We love it in tight and contested and killed them in the middle but once the game was in play we couldnt go with them on the rebound and they made us pay everytime.

Think we need to cool the jets on the idea we can play 2 rucks most weeks.
Pitto  had his best game for the club and contributed around the ground which is out of the box for him as he is generally only effective as a bullocking tap ruckman and does sfa around the game. Last week was the perfect game but its one out of how many?

TDK was ultra effective as a forward and snagged 3 and should have had 4.

My point is both played blinders and the game was on a dry track. Wont work every week and personally i prefer going in with the one tall in TDK.

Ideally I hope last week becomes a regular occurrence as its so difficult for the opposition to play against it but i need to see it as good as last week again and again before im convinced.

This performance reinforces that we are the real deal and if we play anywhere close to our best we will go very close this year.
Our lesser lights are now genuine contributors and our stars and there is now a few of them are match winners. Really believe if we have a decent run injury wise later in the year we may just add another cup in the cabinet at PP.

Fantasia's Kicking Efficiency% is 16%, just 1 good kick from 9 so far this season.

His CP(10)/UP(9) ratio is effectively 1:1

At least we know if his DE% was 45%, and his KE% was 16%, he must have hit a few handball targets! :o

The more I look, the worse it gets, so I've stopped looking.

I cant see for the life of me what the purpose was of getting this bloke into the club. He got gifted the first 2 games and showed SFA.

We have coverage in that area and even if he stayed on the park and played near his best I still prefer Motlop and Durdin over him.

I really think  that  everyone needs to rememeber who  Lewis Young is, he  is a  a backup and as a backup we need to have a little more faith in him, look where we would be without him?  think about that  get onboard and pump up his tyres a little , whilst he is down   a little support from all may prove to be a benefit . he wasnt picked up to be  the  main man.

Great post.

He is playing one if the hardest spots where every error is magnified and he is then labelled a dud.
A midfielder misses a handball or kick but then does something good the error is usually forgiven. Do the same in defence and many want them cut off the list.

Kemp makes mistakes too but has been solid and both kemp and young are playing massive roles and i think so far they have both been serviceable which is all you can ask with no generals like Weitering or doc assisting.
