Lever and May typically dine out against our amateur delivery into F50 but we actually match up well against the dees in one area - their midfield is built around crash 'n' bash (like ours) not speed.
I don't expect to win but I expect a lot of improvement in work rate, selection, and on field set up. A case of "how we play" (process) moreso than the results.
For kids, Moo and the Cinch impress me. Go hard, stand their man and don't step aside. With time they will contribute more drive but they do what defenders are supposed too - defend. Not sold on Boyd - lovely kick but positioning is poor at times - rolls the dice too much for mind chasing a kick.
Pies' system of ball movement, defensive plan and set up is far superior to ours. They were the better team, quite clearly so I'm afraid
Our midfield is slow, our release and spread horrible and defence has broken down completely. Other than Weeters, our backs aren't winning or halving contests consistently. Our small forwards -2 of three anyway - were $$@ing useless. And they're slow and apply no pressure. Fantasia is a joke.
Weitering isn't getting much help. So many of our defenders aren't attacking the contest...Young, Williams, Newy all hanging back and watching. Weak spoils. Bad signs.
