Just looking at the stats as the roll across the screen and we matched them almost everywhere, apart from kicking efficiency and essentially tackles outside of 50 (our inside 50 tackles were very good). Both of those I think are in line, dispose of it badly and you invite pressure. Kicking efficiency was 48% which is poor and that was evident from watching it. If we can improve that, then as you say we've got some of those building blocks. Definitely reckon we are wasting Brennan playing as a forward with our inside 50 delivery, she needs to be involved a lot more through the midfield.
Agree, and from the snippets of the game I saw as I was busy, our handball efficiency would be even worse. The number of times one of our players handballed straight to a Melbourne player was terrible. 2 factors here - our player with possession under a lot of pressure, their players well positioned for a ball coming out while ours weren't.
There are some better signs but they are still a long long way from the good teams.
We'll see if we can do well against weaker teams if we ever get to play them.
Brennan to CHB is a damned good idea, they should try it but I suppose with scoring a problem the coaches are trying to fix too many problems at once.
Should also be lobbying for some sort of local competition over the winter as our players clearly need a hell of a lot more game time.
