Use this boys for in-game action
Fumbles are hanging about. Results GWs goal.
Need to tidy up sooner rather than later with this mob
We give Hogan a paddock
Well done Cottrell 👏🏼
Perfect crumb
Cottrell saves the day.
Don't think Acres has done his trademark kick out on the full this year, but he should've done that rather than centre it to GWS players. Lucky to not give up a goal there. Gotta be better.
Beautiful rebound through the corridor
Good leads, marks, and goals from small Durdin and Owies
Defence is shaky, relative to the pressure
They seem to be getting goals from our errors
Pitt and TDK...... so far a tick.
At the game. Most noticeable thing is the space in Giants forward line. Like against Crows last week. Need to tighten up.
They're going end to end a bit too easily and quickly though. Makes it hard to get tight when they're deliberately trying to create separation between weiters and Kemp.
Newman sore
Easy miss Charlie
Can our defenders get near their opponents. Please
Can someone accidentally intentionally on purpose run through Toby G.
Young ball watching
They are cleaner and we seem to be always chasing.
Used to love Kemp, but no longer on the band wagon

Yet not tackling. No pressure. Keep it up and we'll be embarrassed
Our F50 crew is burning this game for us, they take slight opportunities, we are burning relatively easy shots.
Yet not tackling. No pressure. Keep it up and we'll be embarrassed
Easy overlap
6 in a row with no pressure.
Charli needs to put his big boys pants on and show everybody what he can do.
Toby on his lonesome again
David King frothing over our clearance work, yet also bemoaning our lower pressure rating needs to put 2 and 2 together.
We can get the ball out of the ruck because we have 2 rucks.
We can't get the ball back once we turn the ball over because we have 2 rucks.
They are doing very well on the run and overlap and we don't have an answer with our taller/slower side by comparison.
On top of that, 3 tall blokes up forward is making us lazy. When going forward.
We either.....
a) can't hit a leading target,
b) are not even trying to hit a leading target
c) or there is no leading target to kick to.
Either way, its a knock on for the extra ruck and consequently lack of run/pressure.
Fuc@##$%%%^***(*<_^%::ING STOP MANNING GRASS. MAN UP A PLAYER
Good finish Ollie
TDK as a crumber
How the hell do we have Durdin, Owies and Fantasia playing and we have TDK doing the roving work while those 3 are largely MIA.
TDK as a crumber
Our best small forward..😃
Cowan looks gassed already
Weiters injured ffs
Weiters injured ffs
Season over if its anything remotely serious.
Young has done nothing and Kemp can't hold down 2 KPPs by himself and the cupboard is bare behind him.

They've swapped roles. Smalls on the lead, talls picking up the crumbs 🤣

Didn't look great, where is the other Durdin, must be better than Young
More passengers than the QE2 but still in the game...
Getting the clearances. Not enough fwd pressure. Fluffing easy shots. Defence asynchronous to say the least. Makes for easy pickings by the opposition 🙄

Our rucks aren't the problem here, in fact they are probably keeping us in the game.
The silly thing is this, you get it right a few sentences later as we are using it by foot like we are wearing clown boots.

a) can't hit a leading target,
b) are not even trying to hit a leading target

Then you make silly conclusion.

You're obsession with the two rucks makes you come across like a goose. We've run down opponents and forced turn overs almost at will, then we kick it back to them from clear space and all our blokes are caught out of position pressing forward.
If we have a tall problem up until now it's Young who has been a virtual non-attendance, but if Weiters is out he'll be needed critically to lift.
Fantasia holding his spot in the team while doing SFA is really starting to make me wonder if there is more to it.
The blokes best footy was flakey and even that is well behind him.
Young is a confidence player....he has no confidence at the moment.
If Weitering has gone down, it's his moment to step up.

Its a double edged sword though. They help and hurt us at the same time.
Its also related to our forward efforts. 3 big forwards takes up to much space. You constantly talk about players taking eachothers space and launching against eachother, thats part of the problem here. The leading space is reduced by 1/3 because you have the extra bloke in there taking up space.

Believe me, i didn't want Young in the side. In fact, if we were looking fit (pre-weiters injury) i would be subbing out Young and resting TDK back in his spot. Perfect time to give him a sniff at CHB and roll the dice.
Run is very important.....but no player in the history of the game has ever run faster than the ball.
So fix up the precision and accuracy of the disposal ;)

100%. I said similar during the week.
One way to fix up the precision is reduce the number of rucks in the side. ;)

We are getting clear possession from the centre, forcing turnovers across half back, and kicking it with nothing but our own perceived pressure straight to the opposition.
Horrible, horrible ball use into F50, our blokes BigH and Charlie are in getting in front on the lead and we sit it on their head.
From half back, it's like there is soap on the footy, even when we aren't under all that much relative pressure.
Williams injured and subbed. The curse continues
Yet another clearance kicked straight to an opponent.
Hollands 🇳🇱 to Hollands 🇳🇱
ZW knock to Achilles
Weiters very proppy
Weiters very proppy
Looked like a corky.
Looked like a corky.
Said it was a corked calf on TV.
Seems to me we rushed him back from his last calf injury.
2nd week in a row our inaccuracy in front of goal is hurting us.
Great q3 response. Pressure is up
Since Cottrell said "nobody comes to watch a HFF" he has been one of our best players.
That kick to charlie was elite.
Now talls are fwd targets. Mixing it up. I like it 👌
Newys kicking i50 is sweet
A long way to go, but that's what we can do when we bring the pressure 💪
OK, question is....can we hold on from here or will Giants run us down late?
We are riding a confidence wave right now, but it won't last forever.

I'm hoping the Giants fall in a heap like they did at this point last week.
Come on.
Fantastic third quarter!!
Back to smalls marking i50 💪
8 in a row
Young lost his opponent 🙄
What character against the odds
Perfect. Bam bam seals it against the old mob 👏🏼
Nice touch. Vossy giving away a footy
We have the ability to play so well when we have half the side out.
Most impressive performance I have seen since the semi final.
