Hmm interesting observation. I thought Ingle Farm had some key passages of play but weren't clean enough with their skills to capitilise on the opportunities they created.
Mawson Lakes have good depth, it's difficult at times to combat. It's easy to say a tag should've been sent to Slotgraaf, but the coaching staff elected to send someone to O'Gorman instead given he is a very influential player also, so you can't really afford to have two blokes doing run with roles in the midfield - at some stage you need to try and have faith in your own ball winners to get their share.
It is C grade footy as well, and at times the communication between players fell away which allowed Lakes players to find a lot of space. Very fit bunch of lads for a C4 team, and their run over 4 quarters in that heat was impressive.
Some very smart footballers - Hendo for instance - I lost count of the times he managed to drift inside 50 and become a target directly in front. Also the ruckman - didn't think much of him in the ruck, but very impressive ability to get around the ground, read the play and position himself in good places.
Difficult game to pick this week, but given what i've seen over the past couple of weeks, I think TOS are defintely the best equipped to beat Mawson Lakes, and I'm going to back them in to get the job done.
