So it's all set up for us, teams above and around us have all lost this round in upsets. Melbourne, St Kilda, and Geelong. We're playing a team we are expected to beat.
This kind of opportunity, when presented to us over the years, usually requires us to find a novel way to screw things up. So it would be very noteworthy as an indicator of growth for this team should we rise to the challenge tonight.

Go Dogs.

Where are our half forwards? Every time we kick to the full forwards it’s three 2v1s and they just clean up.

other than that, it’s rudimentary skill errors in the humidity. We’re dropping marks and they aren’t. And they’re better at ground level. That’s the game so far other than our fast start.

Mids, wings and flankers need to tighten up the ground. Forwards need to kick goals instead of spraying kicks like a bunch of over paid disinterested ****ing wankers.

37 inside 50s to 22 and 4 goals down.

They're transitioning better from stoppage or turnover and giving their forwards a good look.

Feels like an old Bevo game where our forward line is swamped and the oppo's is open.

We are winning the clearances by 7, down about 5 contested possession.

It should be closer.

Btw Lukosius is Naughton but as a forward.

Scott is the one who seems to at least be in the picture.

Would love to see the stats for contested ball differential in our forward half, they're towelling us up in that area. Need more from our forwards, they don't have to win the ball, just stop the quick rebound. Possibly Lobb could make a difference as a target if we stop playing him up the ground.

We can absolutely win this. They have two more scoring shots than us, and two of their goals were absolute flukes. Their defence is outplaying our forwards, but even then we have more entries. On top of that, we take a couple of marks we dropped and we’re in it. We haven’t dropped since the first quarter, they’ve lifted.

Oh look, we all fall over and they don’t, and then they get a goal. Or we go for a kick under pressure with three handball exits and they get a smother. Bad decisions everywhere. Now i am fairly sure they’ve won it, u less they get exhausted in the 4th.
