3 goals down but that is an insurmountable lead with how badly we're doing in the forward 50.

Not pretty at all. Like nothing has changed.

The mental demons are still there.

Going to need to adjust significantly for the second half.

At least we're lowering our expectations before round one. It will make the dees spanking us hurt less.

I'd hate to see this joint if it was round 1.

Did we practise a new gameplan from when we reach the F50? We move the ball quickly from the backline, but when we get close to 50, we do the same old thing and just bang it high in the air, expecting the big blokes to mark it

Practice matches, always look like that to me.

What is VDM doing on a list?

He is as bad as ever. He is undisciplined and basically has no idea. I have no idea as to how he gets a game.

Deja vu

Let?s see what adjustments are made after half time. Johnno must be wondering if his coaching is making much difference. Marra has only missed by a smidge so hopefully longer term it makes us more accurate.

Well it's exactly everything that we hate about this team.

Unacceptable missed goals, which sparks the opposition who start converting, which ignites dropped heads and decreased effort, translating into opposition walking the ball from their D50 to F50. We suddenly look slow, outnumbered, disorganised, and then to make it worse whenever we win the ball we start giving it straight back with poor ball use.

It's preseason but FFS that's horrifically bad.

Dominante inside 50s, shots and general play. Miss multiple easy shots. Start to make the easy look difficult. The opposition get a sniff, they lift and kick goals from the boundary to rub our noses in it for missing sitters.

Our confidence drops. Opposition start to run harder and spread. Now we are on the back foot trying to get back into the game.

Where have we seen this before?

Mitchel. ?We should have been well behind at quarter time, they didn?t take their chances?

As he smiles, knowing it?s our DNA.
