Yep, that is one thing that hasn't improved at all.
No good looking like a giant if your tackles are more like ballerina hugs.
Too many players rolling the dice leaving Nthmond players wide open in the midfield and out wide.
Great to see Simmo and Marchbank attack down the field, but when they fork up hitting the target blokes like Jones, Weitering and Plowman are left standing two or three players and our guys have rolled the dice and lost.
AFL report Simmo at 85% effective for 35 disposals, but fork me a lot of his kicks went just out of reach so many times. He's great at winning the contested footy, but we've gotta stop him being the one kicking.
Byrne, headless chook running, he'll have some of the highest metres for the game, yet hardly touched it.
We had so much first touch, but failed to pick up the pill cleanly, that's basically cost us tonight.
Dow not so clean, SPS looked good one minute, bad the next. Both followed Nthmond players through the midfield. Dow has no idea how to tag, why the feck play him as a tagger?
Eye-opener for Garlett, Mullett and Kennedy, they'll be wondering how the feck can we be tackled before we take possession and get pinged holding, while Nthmond get trapped with the pill slung 720° and it's play on!
SoJ had no form and shouldn't hold his spot.
I feel so dirty and cheated, I pumped up Levi after JLT and he went right back to his bad old best. He's petrified up against blokes like Nankervis.
But our main problem, disposal, missing too many targets by hand and foot, then not enough midfield pace to get back and fix the mistakes.
