Pity none of them even look before the clearing kickFinally real stoppage structure. And it's so bloody obvious the change. Unreal!

Bad kicking is bad football. 5 behinds in a quarter is something we are use to really.
but it is a new year and a new system. Got to give it time to settle. Imagine if we kicked 5 goals instead of 5 behinds that quarter.....the thread would be full of praise
What happen to the run and overlap and swarm -- looked like us of old -- when ball transition defence all at see still running around with no purpose looking at each other ..
thought Pitto would be able to really dominate today against there ruck - maybe needs the run also doesn't help playing two slow mids with him -- maybe Kennedy should be break glass option throughout the year - if dow isn't in front of him he is in for long year in the 2's --
Next week should be a better guide
I dunno how "game-y" the coaches get with this stuff - but given we had the run of it for the first quarter, is there a world where Voss says "right, let's really test our defense in the second quarter"?
No current season stats available
Agree with all above and would take plow over Newman if available .. I thought Kemp was suited down back if you were going to introduce to the midfield instead of retooling gov I hope he proves me wrongConcerns: Gov as a defender. LOB struggling with the tempo of the game, still not a lock for a starting 22. Durdin will improve, but was really nervous/rushed, Boyd similar. We let the opposition spread/open up the ground way too easy
Agree with all of this, but Philp is on the same list as Durdin and Boyd in terms of making a mess of basic decision making and execution when in possession, and OMac has no ability to capitalise on his positioning.Saints did lift their pressure, but we dropped off and stopped running back to plug holes in front of the leading lanes. Players also went from bring teammates into play, to trying to bite off too much

Good: Philp showed some good glimpses, OMac positioned well, needed more support from our 3rd/mid size defenders. Hewett did the grunt work well, Cerra generally smooth

O'Brien gassing himself is a symptom of the defensive failures that were occurring from the start.
criticisms in a pre-season match that doesn't mean hardly anything...............that is a meltdown. These games are just to try things for the coming season.
Is that Terry from BlueAbroad on the screen?
It's a bit of both, he is doing defensive coverageLOB gassing himself is not understanding the next phase in play, overrunning between the fall of the ball
People make them more harshly if we are losing...........they wouldn't post them if we are winning and that is a factNo, you are wrong. You are the one concentrating on the outcome rather than the process. Even if we had, as you say, kicked 5 straight Cripps would still be trying to do too much, Kennedy would look slow and lacking defensive pressure, Newman making poor decisions etc which are legitimate criticisms people are making, and if these players continue down this as per previous years, no matter win or lose a practice match it will hurt us in proper games.
The score doesn't matter, but the little observations people are making are completely fine.
