Only issue was a few occasions when we had too many guys going for the same mark inside 50 and spoiling each other. This also enabled Port to run the ball out a few times as our blokes weren't always able to apply pressure on their opponents after Port had won the ball at ground level.
Yeah that is true camelboy but remember we didn't have Eddie Betts playing who would have crumbed 2-4 goals against the power. It's not all bad when this happens but we just didn't have any crumbers ..
Yep, for sure.
My point was more that while it was great we had more marking options, those guys diddn't click as well as they might with more experience. Give it time and that teamwork will come.
Look at Geelong on Friday night, they'd have guys in a huddle in their F50, two would lead out to the pockets leaving the corridor empty which is where the ball went. That's a simplistic example of course, but it shows how making dummy leads and creating space for your teammates is so important and is the area we most need to improve on inside our attacking half.
We'll get there, yesterday just showed we're on the right track. Still a long way to go, but the signs are there, and despite a few disappointing near misses this year you can see the guys are getting better every week.
