I understand that, but we've got to get the tackles up for when we play someone serious.

Looking at average tackles per game this year, we are currently ranked 1st with an average of 75 per game.

I don't see that as a weakness. ;)

No, I see that as a strength, which is why I am shocked to see numbers so low.

Let me be doom and gloom.

We've played against witches hats thus far and the gulf in class has been the difference. 

Wash, hewett, weitering, saad the main difference makers. 

A few have joined in for the ride. Haynes, carroll, durdin playing alright.  Harry had started well.  Biggest shame is he'll miss next week.

This is really hard to get a read on where we at, because it's been bruise free and we've been dominant.  Conceded a few way too easily. 



Someone lined up mcgovern for being unaccountable before.  Fact is, he had to leave his man to cover for someone else who had gone kick chasing. 

It's been too bruise free to really read where we are at today.

Has anyone seen the incident when H was concussed? The guy just ran at him like a suicide!

yeah, it's fine. Incidental contact which means the west coast bloke will miss a month for attempted murder.

God only knows what the Tribunal will think. Penalties seem to depend on what the outcome is, rather than what the offence was. Not a smart way of doing things.

Making any comment on how we are going in a 2025 game at half time will always come back to bite you.

That being said, i just posted the average tackle numbers we've had this year. I don't think we need to worry about being bruise free downhill skiers. Our pressure is up there with the best of them.

In this game, you can see the same issues we've seen previously. Finishing.

Our shots on goal have been poor.
Our decision making in front of goals has been poor and cost us a few goals.
We've had a few players get tackled when if they kicked 2 steps earlier we hit the scorebaord.
We've had a couple overenthusiatic extra handballs which has cost us.
We've had set shots missing....and missing by heaps in shots that should've been gimmes.

I said earlier, that we should've been 7 goals up. That would extend to 10 goals up by now had we ironed out some of the above creases by now.

Hopefully, this game gives us the win, despite being poor finishers.
Hopefully, that gives us the confidence we need going into games from here and that confidence improves our finishing, which translates into more wins.


We are not that far away.

Commentators were saying its fine because the bloke who ran into him wasn't trying to stop him, instead was making position for a handball receive.

2 players with poor awareness running into eachother.

At this point, H (who was injured in the 1st quarter) still has more possessions that Lachie Fogarty (3 and 1 tackle) and Tom (4 with 2 tackles).

Corey Durdin: 5 possessions for 2 goals.
Cooper Lord: 5 possessions and 1 goal.
Jesse Motlop: 6 possessions for 1 point.

Poor start to the 2nd half. 1 goal 1 to them in no time. :(

Small forwards don't always get huge possessions. That's ok as long (like a couple more touched) as they are hitting the scoreboard. Durdin yes, Motlop no.
