Game Day - Tiges V Freo

I feel that Freo have taken our best punch.

We had an elite pressure rating that quarter and we're only 3 point ahead.

So

Nank is probs the worst big man on the ground atm

Can we sub the capt?

Forward line looks slow and clumsy

We all know how this is going to end anyway. Will be infront by about 10 last qtr and their young midfield will run us ragged and win it in the end. You can just see it. Especially with Nank, Soldo, Sheds and Graham running on treadmills
 
True. I don't feel the solution is to put Nank in the ruck though. I'd be more inclined to sub him out.

Then again, he's had a nice rest for a half, maybe he'll be fresh come the last and we sub Soldo out. Feel one of them needs to get some "awareness" at some point.
Hamstring awareness?
 
Getting smashed in the clearances around the ground again. Got to tighten up there.
Should be a couple more goals up but wasted our dominance again in the first half of that quarter but how many times have we said that this year.
I am a bit worried about whether we can stay in this game
 
We're too many runners down. Edwards Ralphsmith Graham Sonsie not doing nearly enough.
 
for something different I would put Grimes up forward this quarter. Reckon he might relish the op.
Dropping marks in the forward line is better than dropping them in the defensive 50 I suppose
 
Inside work at the stoppages and clearances is our biggest weakness. We are too reliant upon the turnover in the backline.

Ben Miller is staring to play with some confidence now and lookalike a prospect. A fair game so far to night, positioning better and going in harder

He cannot be right; carrying that knee issue so Soldo rucking mostly. They cannot trust what Darcy might do to Nank including further aggravating that injury.
However, he is not a forward and even at 100% a pretty limited one. Doesn't know how to position himself, too slow to tackle defenders and even fails tom extend arms to block tackles.
