As usual, our inability to hit targets is costing us. Tidy that up and Suns are well on top for most of the quarter.

We have Corbett and Burgess but our kicks rarely favour them.

Few players just need to take their time instead of rushing it to boot. We work too hard for our possessions.
Back in front now after the Burgess goal. He's one goal behind the top VFL leading goalkicker now. Hopefully Burgo has a big day and he can claim that award.

Our midfield with Moyle and Bowes should be the match winning combo I think. When they can clear it out with ease and we can get it to a good contest or mark, then we look very good.

Burgess now equal with Fergus Greene (Box Hill) for the leading goalkicker in the VFL with 49 goals. Probably needs to kick at least six today to give himself a chance to win it.
 
IMO, it will be a close one. Hopefully, I am wrong. Too many kids today. Missing one midfielder. Constable (AFL sub), Fiorini?

1QTR - Moyle, Bowes very good.
 
We're ahead 26-14 at quarter time for anyone who can't watch. Bowes has probably been best on for us so far and Burgess has kicked two goals.
 
Aaron Hall doing Aaron Hall things. The second I saw him running through the middle to receive that ball I knew he would ice that goal. It is one of his strengths.

If we can coax him into making ridiculous kicks back into the corridor we could bang on a few goals.

There have been several instances where it is obvious we don’t have a good small forward at VFL level with Sexton playing AFL. Plenty of awful crumbs that he would have nailed.
 
Yeah, we looked good for a bit. But have been terrible for nearly 20 minutes. Embarrassing efforts and skills from a few players.

We’re not playing Fiorini or Constable. A lot rides on Bowes in the second half.
 
We surely have to hang onto Burgess somehow.
Could easily argue he's the sole reason our 2s are going to play finals this year. I'm sure plenty of Victorian scouts are eyeing him off though. Dodoro from Essendon is reportedly at the ground so he'd be into him for sure given Essendon's need for another tall forward.
