I thought our field kicking was pretty average at times, for example Byrne kept kicking at the leading forwards' feet. They ended up as goals anyway due to great positioning and follow up work at ground level but we weren't always as clean as made out by the media. Hit the leading player, go back and kick what should be an easy goal instead of chaos stuff at deck level, it's about percentages.
I think Jagga Smith still needs a lot of work with his kicking and use.  A lot of loopy 15 metre stuff that misses, I realise that his modus operandi is accumulating weight of numbers and getting to an open player on the outside but he could develop much higher 'hurt' factor.
Contrast that with Lords game, who kicked with precision and smart use and he really opened the Lions up through the corridor.

Lord has his best game for us this year. Really took on the inside kicks and kicks to advantage. Fantastic.

Cooper Lord spent four nights in hospital, and had to have sugery for a staph infection earlier this year.
That would have knocked him around a bit, and sent his season off the rails.
It's good to see him back in the side.
A few more games under his belt this year, a good off-season, and we'll see his best in 2027.

Have viewed this game twice now and may have another look before Sunday as it really is a joy to watch.
Mostly covered by previous posts, but a couple of things that really stood out for me on the lesser lights
Pitto's game was unbelievable. Don't think I've seen him ruck as much as he did on Saturday. He was almost Max Gawn like. Didn't dominate in hitouts or HTA but his contested stuff was awesome.

Cottrell also had a much better game than previously
Cerra, another who had a best for 2026
To tell you the truth I could go on about each and everyone in the team because it is probably the best overall team effort I've seen in many a year.
The big question for me is, if Weitering is available this week who gets left out??? Seriously no one should get dropped. Maybe we could manage someone?
