A bit meh from me.

Kicked 2 goal 6 behinds compared to their 4 goals 6 behinds after half time.

Our second halves are abominable - especially against a team of witches hats like West Coast - they are terrible.

To make matters worse - we get Curnow and O'Keefe with injuries

I cant see Curnow, McKay or HOK playing next week.

Thant goodness we "only" have to play North next week - but even then - they have been good their last few and are no bunnies.

Best game I've seen from Gov in ages.

Motlop........... WTF..... This guy - I really want him to impact....... but???????????

I guess as others have said - take the 4 points and run, run like the wind. BUT, FFS we blew a GOLDEN opportunity to put a team that we should have to the sword and bury them, and it was an abject failure AGAIN.

What are they doing at half time. Their 2nd halves have been shit all year They looked sensational up until about half way through the 2nd quarter. You will take the win but there are some serious issues especially after half time Sent from my SM-F956B using Tapatalk

all a bit meh. we won, so the season is alive. the competitor in me loves that. the realist in me knows we're not going far like this. weiters, charlie and cripps all look so disinterested. doc still not prepared to get uncomfortable. not with tackling, putting his body on the line or running. when that's our "leaders", we don't have much hope.

Two weeks in a row we've scored more than half our points in Q1. I wonder how often that's been done.

Ollie Hollands is coming along nicely. McGovern also played well.

Motlop 0 contested possessions, 0 clearances. On a wet night. Stop. Giving. Him. Centre. Bounce. Attendances. Especially over someone like Lord.

The main thing that stood out to me about that game was how bad west coast were in Q1. They were absolutely terrible Sent from my moto g54 5G using Tapatalk

I’ve got nothing, except take the 4 points and move on.

How [REDACTED] is the fixture 13 rounds in we have played West Coast twice After 14 rounds North and West Coast twice At the very least surely by round 17 every team has played each other once

Pros: Another slashing start. The coaching panel's decision to McGovern forward and Docherty back (the last 2 weeks) has improved our structure. Getting more bounce of out defence. Oli, Cerra, Cincotta, Haynes, McGovern, Saad, Hewett, Fogarty. Best I've seen from Binns. Weiters back in form. Cons: More injuries. Another underwhelming 2nd half. Butchered some golden opportunities in the 3rd quarter. Another quiet performance from Cripps. O'Keeffe deserved another game, but struggled tonight. Hands weren't clean.

Gosh that was uninspiring. Our plan seems to be get a big lead in the first qtr and hang on for dear life.

Win is a win I guess. But if this was earlier on Sunday I probably wouldn't have watched.

Damning stat. We lead the half time ladder by a fair way, 11-2, 133%, yet we sit 6-7. Real pattern right there.

Had the TV on in the background so haven't really seen it properly. So predictable, come out of the blocks firing and then fade away. Happy with any win but I don't enjoy watching us at the moment. Not sure what it is but there has to be something going on behind the scenes for us be playing like we don't care.

No one has mentioned Cripps. Very poor last few weeks especially. Is stagnant and doesn’t run and chase. This from our captain is not acceptable. Hope our coaching staff don’t find this acceptable because of his past accolades.
