Thoughts on Today's Game

To me it looked like we lacked the fitness to go with geelong in the last quarter. As each week goes by our match fitness will increase. We have always started slowly under wallace and I wonder if it is because we aren't as match fit as some of the other teams in the comp - not sure why? The optimist in me sees our 3rd quarter and says - if we can get our fitness right and some self-belief we might do alright. I try not to listen to the pessimist in me because there are enough pessimists on this site anyway.
 
Thought it was a much better effort from the team today, goes to show if they have a dip they could mix it with most sides in the competition. Turnovers and ill-disciplined acts still hurt us, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. The poor disposers of the ball in King, Edwards, White and Jackson will be replaced over the coming weeks with Coughlan, Connors, Cousins and Cotchin. Throw Collins and Thomson in the mix as well and I think we will be on the right track for a finals berth.

l;eg speed mopsy leg speed cant play em all at once but yes ball winners with size feeding the likes of cousins cotchin deledio brown is the way just have to firstly get the balance right and then maintain it.
