Did Hardwick have any idea how to counter their stop, short kick, uncontested mark game plan ? They utterly sliced and diced their way around the ground all night.
Essendon. Essendon sliced their way through us. FMD.
Yep. But we invite this with our kick out structure. We concede two kicks to at least 50 then try to rebound it back. We have been worked out plus we don't have the cattle any more to play that game.
Tonight's Scattergun.
Still playing non forwards on the forward line...is that 8 losses and a draw from the last nine decided by under a goal? Why?
When the whips are cracking there is no composure. Tonight Danny played a serviceable game on the backline, but we continue to flounder where he used to shine. Marlion needs space. Not a forward. Nigel improving.
Tonight our small backline was stretched by Weideman and the other tall, Kyle Somebody. But we were outmarked and that is always on the cards.
I thought Balta and Vlaustin were good.
Nank tried hard but was underdone. Ryan will be inconsistent for the first few years.
Dusty and Shai have the same issue. Creative when they have it and flashy but need to do the ordinary things better.
Loved Balta's game. Settling in nicely.
Bakes and Dion played like they had the flu.
A bad bounce at the end stopped a certain goal for us, but that happens.
Overall, another very annoying game.
