Basic skills are letting us down big time.

[Mantis]

Fumble city from VDM early on… that one was costly.

He isn’t on his own. How many short kicks have we missed?

[jeemak]

That's a cracking finish from Harmes.

Happy Days criticised he didn’t use his left.

[jeemak]

They really need to put the cameras on towers/ scissor lifts at these grounds. This is worse than the SCG, making a decent sized ground look tiny without space due to the camera angle.

[merantau]

I think we dodged a bullet that quarter. A lot of players need to lift.

[whythelongface]

Lucky to be within a goal. Good signs that we are scrambling but the Giants are a lot more composed.

will be difficult for Naughton to get involved with Taylor on him.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

They are making it hard for us to move the ball into the forward half. I think having Bont forward is going to be important. Where possible we need to put the pressure on them with deep entries, and from there it's just about creating a contest which Naughton has done well so far.

Richards' play to take on the mark and get a deeper entry is what we need to do more of.

Clearly need to be cleaner and not be missing easy targets, but overall I'm fine with that start.

[ledge]

I’m not confident , they are just bigger and stronger , more experienced and well drilled.
I am ok with the first qtr as I think most of the game will be in their forward line . We just need to take advantage of the rebound.

Ha. Just general life.

[HOSE B ROMERO]

Would be nice to get a mark inside 50.
