13 scoring shots to 5. That's 8 more scoring shots and 8 goals if they kicked straight.

The problem is we should be experimenting primarily with midfield structures to see what is going to work in the AFL season.
So far, any contest that doesn't involve Matt Crouch, we are hopeless.
The only positives I've seen from the pre-season matches so far is Hampton looks solid, and Milera has been productive (just not this week). Otten also been very good

Only 3 weeks from Round 1. Surely we'll be playing harder and better skilled footy by then. Blow out the cobwebs now, ready for the marathon ahead.

We played well though.
Except we are using this to find midfielders and we've found one, Hampton.

I don't think our midfield is doing badly considering the outs. In fact we lead clearances by 4. The problem is our defensive pressure especially from our forward line, although that is to be expected considering we are testing out a few things.
Wouldn't worry too much, it's just JLT
You must have a good memory
How dare you suggest our midfield has any strengths at all.

I can guess. Everything was shit then, and it's shit now

Wigg at least has shown the ability to get the ball, but cripes he needs to either lower his eyes, or at least give us some evidence of that "elite kick"
Yeah, but to see them play so poorly is annoying. The Crows players look like witch's hats at times. Poor positioning, poor decision making (too many hand balls in a chain). Chasing tails. Very disappointing.
Richard Douglas with 4 touches, that's pathetic from an experienced midfielder.
Really disappointed in the effort hete today.

I'm not watching the game, pre season means next to nothing really. It does sound like the young mids are going OK so far in the 2 games and let's be honest they're the only places up for grabs.
If your auntie had balls she'd be your uncle.

If anyone wants to melt down after a pre-season game, next week is the one to do it. That's the dress rehearsal. There is still uncapped rotations, 8 bench players along with different team strategies that are used this week. Who knows what we might be trying, or where they might be in a training load. Nothing to be concerned about yet.

And 4 of those touches have been from kick outs

The young mids aren't going okay at all. Hampton is looking good, Milera should claim a spot, and everyone else is varying degrees of mediocre to awful.
(This is excluding midfielders who played last year like Crouch and Atkins who have been good)
Haha, two goal diff and its melt city in here! Glad I don't have hardly any access to the net. Given the experience difference I was expecting a two goal to about 9 goal margin. We're on track for the middle of that so, meh for me for the moment.
Better in the middle this week, went bad late in the first quarter tho. Lot of wasted kicks to half forward area by us, just gifting them no pressure turnovers. Lots of players still to come into it, everyone getting a turn in and out of where the action is.
Have noticed in all the JLT games a lot of frees being paid and often large differentials, which seems crazy to me, must mean all the rest of the games in history have been umpired wrong?!?!? Anyway, last week we were beneficiary, this week its 8-1 down at half time - perhaps its the away team umpiring rule.
Hampton, Otten, ROB, Atkins have been good thus far.
Might check in again after the game. Have fun in here.

8 more scoring shots, even if it's 6:2 they are 8 goals up
