Suns have more than enough in the midfield and around stoppage to trouble us. They have done for a while, and they appear to have improved from last year. My one query is whether they're going to fatigue given their first 2 games.

Their biggest threat is how we start.

Reality is if we don't gap them early, the pressure only builds on us and we know how we deal with pressure.

Only something like 4 individual, separate, seats left in the grandstands. Wife and daughter decided they wanted to come but couldn’t tee it up. That bodes well for a well attended game. A shame we’ll probably never get the capacity increased.

Need to put in a good shift in tomorrow and get a win. I want to see the pressure going the other way without the ball from us.

We cannot allow their midfield to get way on top or else will be in for a long day.

Can?t allow to many uncontested marks to them as well either which was just really poor from us last week in combating that.

That's the kind of response we were looking for, we also seem to have players running by and you could see we were trying to move it on quickly. As Lade said himself we normally go to sleep after a good quarter, they will have the wind but it's time for this group to show a more consistent 4Q effort.

Outside of him that looked very similar to the 2nd quarter of match simulation against the Hawks. Yes we weren't scored heavily against but very little composure or method coming out of defence careless really.

English 8 disposals, 15 hit outs. Moyle 11 disposals 10 hit outs

English's disposals have actually been effective though (75% to 45%). Add in 2 center clearances and the fact he has 4 score involvements to 1 (usually a stat rucks dominate) and to me that indicates actual influence.

Not as impressive that quarter. Made a lot of mistakes and didn?t take a few half chances we had there at the end there to make them lay.

Happy to get away with a five goal lead, We need to put them this away this quarter so they don?t have a sniff in the last.

I thought we seemed to have our defensive lines fairly well worked out and it limited the damage.

A bit to improve on for sure, but the structure held up.

I think these Ballarat games need to be read as a half sometimes. Kind of like how you don't judge a cricket score until you've seen the other teams' innings.

A 5 goal lead is a good result, we took our chances with the wind and defended well enough under pressure without it.

English 8 disposals, 15 hit outs. Moyle 11 disposals 10 hit outs

Moyle has had some hack kicks and hitouts to our advantage, sure.

English has directly released Bont from the middle at least twice, and battled hard to at least break even in every contest.

He's been really good.

It's been hard to see this on TV but it doesn't overly surprise me. It's fine to hang deep when we have the wind, but in the second quarter we kept waiting for the ball (which must be the way we coach them, given the consistency of it).
