    Bit of a frustrating game so far. Should have been able to put at least 2 more on the board.

    Plenty of room for improvement but the Roos are competing well and we knew they would offer a challenge.

      Probably a few on that list and I'll give a first year player a pass. If English had 10% more intensity he'd be unstoppable instead we get this.

      I think it was a decent 2nd quarter. Their form has been good recently and really needed to skip away when we had the chance but let ourselves down with some misses in front of goal.

        Kept them goalless. Our defenders really standing up.
        Probably need to target Darcy a bit more in the F50. Marra looks more dangerous when the ball hits the deck.

          13 scoring shots to 4, for a 3 goal lead…

            North playing slow and conservative ball out of their back half which isn?t giving them many scoring chances.

            We just keep kicking it long to the top of the square. Not other trick at the moment. We need some better decision making forward centre of the ground. We are too predictable.

            We should be 5-6 goals up.

              I recon that was the best North had and we missed 6 easy ones. We need to come out and roll them in the 4th or they will get a sniff and be difficult to get over them

              Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

                If they lock down Bont we’re in trouble, he’s running our game atm.

                Lobb been great down back.

                English needs to lift.

                Marra a nearly half. Dropped a few he should’ve absolutely taken, and nearly held at least one he had no business taking.

                If we can kick a bit straighter this should be a 40+ win.
                Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

                    We are dominating the game but ....
                    Same old, same old. Not taking our chances. Marra - really? You mess up the simple things and then you over complicate. Take the first option.
                    English? How about you get in front at contests?
                    We should be another 2 or 3 goals up. Instead the game is still wide open.

                      Just hope Marra doesn't let it get to him with those dropped marks as he gets put off his game when it doesn't go his way. Unstoppable when it does.

                        Jamarra?s laconic approach cost us a few goals. Gotta make the most of any momentum. NM will come hard at some point. Gotta make it all count. Lobb doing a good job but we just need to be a little more direct going fwd and that doesn?t necessarily mean bombing it.

                          It's all a bit weird. North only need a couple of things to begin to go right for them, and we are in trouble. Conversely, we seem just on the cusp of breaking the game open. Who will blink first ?

                            A bit harsh on Sanders as by intesity i mean he seems to be going half pace and no second efforts. I guess that will come with time.

                              Serious question but is there something amiss with him at the moment? He's been down for the majority of the season.

                                JUH abusing his teammate about a shit kick then missing a 15-meter pass 20 seconds later was pretty funny.
