Guts & determination & unwilting pressure overcame our kicking deficiencies. Thought we were the better side all day but just our poor kicking, including heaps of turnovers, kept them in it.
Coaches might blame some of that on fatigue but reality is it’s the one area we have to improve on. Can see what a difference Brown, Campbell & even Sonsie (with limited touches) make kicking the ball compared to Pickett, Bolton and Maurice junior. To be fair to the latter, that’s probably the best two quarters he’s ever played after half time.
Pleased with Miller down back, Young was better after halftime and by having them there it allowed Vlaustin (superb) & Broad to intercept. D. Rioli superb too.
Not sure about forward mix - Lefau looks slow to me, despite the two goals & I think the time has come to play a genuine second ruck and let Balta be a forward - he was spent today.
Bring McAuliffe in and see if we can beat the Saints - they aren’t that good.
