McStay is quite skilled. Will be able to display it a bit more when he gains confidence.

Its not that he isn't skilled, more so that he, like many young footballers across the league are gifted games when they're not deserving of it.

Far too many teams and nowhere near enough real talent.
 
A very forgettable quarter but not a big surprise.
 
Shuey needs to be shut down, smothered, etc... by his direct opponent. There are reasons why he gets tagged every week.

Not much to write home about - intent looks fine but the ball use has been awful. Hoping we can pick it up.

Mackenzie is going to be a nightmare for Merrett all night, he just has to keep working. We have to stop being silly with the ball too, Zorko trying too much entering 50 is a prime example.
 
Big test for the defense from the looks of it with the Weagles just bombing in there. Shuey looking dangerous, Merrett struggling.
 
Their forwards are pushing up and providing a release option to defenders. Our defenders look up and see only an option 65 metres out that invariably result in turnovers.

Still, we're one missed handball away from having some chains that lead to running shots streaming into the midfield. Of course we've botched them far too often this season.
 
We lead clearances 9-8 and inside 50s 14-13. Pretty decent effort considering the team we have. If West Coast get out of first gear it could get ugly though.

Apparently we're too good to bother tagging anyone this season which is a pity considering we've got one of the best rotting away in the reserves.

Could it also not be that we have so so many senior players either injured (Rich, Rockliff, Redden, Leuey, Staker), or dead in the water (Moloney, Raines)?
 
Big Sauce Merrett needs to lead and stop waiting for the ball to be bombed to him. We look clueless going forward. Zorko trying too hard at times but least he is getting touches. Think we need to just play on quicker and use our main asset pace.
 
Golby 9 possessions, Gaff 2 both handballs. Clear winner in that matchup to quarter time.
