We had some really good phases of play yesterday. Which resulted in either pressure turnovers and repeat entries into forward 50 and at times players taking every bit of time they could to find and hit targets. And guess what, we had easy set shots and converted a fair number of them.
We also had some poor defensive efforts, some missed targets by foot and hand that cost us.
But we scored more than we have for a fair few weeks and we limited them to about our par against even though we probably gifted them four goals from mistakes/poor efforts.
Against Freo we had 3 clear lapses. Yesterday I had it down to 2 and we fought back better each time.
I see the structure and good phases and continuity improving. It's as little as 5 or 6 of our missed kicks hitting and we deny them 2 goals and probably get open looks at 2 more ourselves. Yes we need to be better than that but if you look at bite size improvements then this was another bite size better than against Freo and we're only 1 or 2 bites away from being really competitive.
