    Sloppy by Bont and got let off the hook.

    Really poor decison making costing us. Bright side I don't think we've started slowly just missed our opportunities. I felt it was a pretty even quarter and disappointed we're in a 3 goal hole.

      Playing like millionaires. Hunter around the corner and Suckers and even Dahl refusing to lower their eyes entering F50
      But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

        Took an age to move the ball on and missed an easy kick to Bont in the middle, as well as turning it over across half back.

          It's the thing that could easily stop him from being regarded as elite. We need him to be a contributor on the scoreboard in some games.

            I've said it once and I'll say it again, Lachie Hunter will drive me to an early grave. He just can't help himself.

                Some sluggishness from Webb and Dale when defending on a couple of occasions allowed Wet Toast to get some chains of possessions out of defense

                  I don't know. I thought they were the better ootion. Hard to tell watching here but didn't mind either shot.

                    Still in it but need to start of well in the 2nd. Very early in the 1st was positive but decreased a bit from there.

                      Really struggling in the midfield and up forward. Too many players down. Jong and JJ terrific but early signs not great.

                        Yeah good point we haven't been able to lock the ball in which is causing us problems. My other issue was the last 2mintues of the quarter we had options to get it out of their defence and go down the line rather than taking the dangerous kick. There is a time and place...

                          I still don't think we are far off if we can tighten up. I got the feeling a few lost sight of their instructions. If Bevo can get them back to the team plan we can arrest this.

                            That's been his year. Looks much slower by thought, movement and disposal. Back to poorer decision making and turning it over. I'm not sure how we kept his spot to be honest. If this keeps up, he's not making 300 unfortunately. He's a liability at the moment.

                              We seem switched on but we have no reward for effort. These pricks always kick flukey goals when they get their tails up. We desperately need to put scoreboard pressure on.
