Game Day AFL R3 Brisvegas Lion Kings vs West Coast Golden Eagles @ Gabba 9:40pm NZST 20 June 2020

[Dale Doback]

I feel like no one is taking the kick down the corridor because the trust in their team mates to complete the mark/halve the contest has completely eroded.They believe that using the corridor is a risk that will result in a turnover and then the inevitable oppo goal. That might be form, but I think it is also conditions, and how it has got stuck in their head.

I saw improvements tonight, and hope that next weeks game during the day will result in higher comfort level, and more confidence to take it on.

Yeah you're right it was a bit better this week but still nowhere near enough movement and trust. No matter what grade of footy you're playing if the players don't lead to dangerous spots because they don't think their team mates will nail the kick, and the kicker won't pull the trigger because he's worried about a turnover, its all down hill from there.
Id rather play with dare and lose big than play meek and still lose. Roll the dice boys.

Another piss poor performance.

Discussion continues in the Neg/Pos Thread:

Review - Positives and Negatives vs Brisbane

+ Schoey, Shep, Gaff, Nic worked their ass off - Odd season. Good sides losing often, maybe that leaves the door ajar for us. But yeah, nah, not like this Eagles. Having a crack isn’t a crime. - JK, Darling, Cripps, Ah Chee, Cripps again unsighted. Ryan the only forward worth anything and now...
