Definitely room for improvement, especially with the dwindling lead, and our poor % Hopefully we add the "foot on throat" layer soon.

Cracking 100 was a good sign. As was having 7 goalkicker and the talls dominating. The gap between Harry's best and worse keeps us all intrigued 😄 Mind you 14 marks and 4 goals is a good return.

Our defence is the shining light IMO. Weiters, Young, Saad, Newman, McG amassed 42 marks.

Seems that without being convincing, and with many injuries, we find ways to win. I'm thankful we didn't let that turn into another heart stopper.

“Harry and the Brain Fades” sounds like a great name for a band!
Why not mark 10m out then play on and miss everything

31 pts from kick ins (coast to coast) in the second half by us, the most by any team in the history of stats.

That's fantastic. We all know some of the undesirable records we smashed a couple of years back 😖

Apparently Fisher had 28 possessions (no tackles) in the match report, I thought he stunk it up. Honey also had zero tackles.  Our half forwards don't do enough delivery into F50 nor apply enough pressure on the defence exiting

Lob, Fisher, Honey VFL next week.
The enigma (Fisher) ended up with 28 disposals...0 tackles.

I'm not seeing a finals side here, we won but some glaring and obvious issues reared their ugly head again. I'm not liking what I'm seeing.

Poor ball movement and amateurish forward play. Thank the Lord for Saad. Sloppy goal kicking from Harry (nothing has changed).

Weak under physical pressure.  Really weak.
Poor skills and decision making under pressure. Fumbling and turnovers.
Effort still appears to be conditional
A long list of players playing poor football. TdK, George...when are they going to get going?

We need to keep turning the list over.  It's clear that Cowan and Hollands have outstripped established players. 

Need to move on from LoB, Fisher (Fogarty as EB suggests), even JSoS.  If you can't do the job, give someone else an opportunity.  If we, by some miracle make finals, there's clearly some weak links  that won't cope with those kind of games.




That was definitely the first two qtr Prof, but to be fair, in the 3rd and 4th the mids went to work and got their hands real  dirty. They played some super tough footy and intimidated NM I reckon.

Ha true.  But you have to love him. Beautiful mark of the ball when isolated and pretty consistent shot for goal provided he is within 30 on he favoured side.

Still 14 marks is a decent game by anyone’s standard.

Commentators gave a bit of attention to a high contact by Harry during the game.
They downplayed it.... but the way that MRO thingy works don't be surprised. ::)

Yep.  Did their best to make it look worse.  I bet he has a case to answer.

So how does Zurhaar get away with blatant high shoves/"fend offs".  At least one was reportable today he had no intention of pushing into the chest.
