Gawn, Oliver, Lever. If you let those 3 blokes win their positions you lose.

And as for the story in the paper earlier the week about how hard they work on their goalkicking :roll: :roll: :roll: :rolleyes: :vom:


I'd hardly say utter rubbish.
Correct call.
Correct call.
Pretty much sums up Ken's tenure, can identify and work on their flaws but just can't deliver when it matters most.

25-24 count, probably got a few to even up the numbers after being a fair but behind early apparently.

I only watched the last half and there was plenty missed both ways from what I seen, not enough to symbolise any favouritism.

All true, also, not trying to take uncontested chest marks behind the goal line instead of in front. That needs some work at training this week.

And now Finalsyon misses a modern day gimme

Hope it doesn’t hurt Port, would rather see them win than Melbourne.

That's what wins and loses close matches.

In fairness, at least he kept his feet, a crows player in that position at the moment is likely to fall over and falcon the ball back into play for the oppo to pick up and goal from

At the end of the day some age old truths still stand.
Both teams that lost today missed too many sitters.
I still find it bizarre that with millions spent on fitness programs and all the other stuff that not enough attention is paid to the single most important facet of the game.

Can’t train real game pressure I suppose.

McKays’ turn around so far has been huge.
