A fair bit each way there. We are not good, but we might be less not good than last year?
Positives:
Negatives:
Positives:
- Harley Reid. BDE. Can't be upset with any of that.
- Bailey Williams. Worked his tail off and got plenty of reward for it today.
- Petch. Could have had more but three goals and one of the few that chased, presented, took it on.
- Kelly. Surprised his numbers were so low because, for the majority of the game, he was the one winning us the pill.
- Chesser. Showed plenty after subbing on, please Simmo please just do what needs to be done here.
- Contested effort and workrate was right up for the majority of the game. Killed in transition but scrapped in tight.
- Handball receives and playing on from behind in our best patches looked great. More of that please.
Negatives:
- No ability to clear defensive fifty with any consistency. Some boundary thrown ins on the wing, a mark on the wing, anything. Ball was just live every time we exited fifty.
- Coast to coast after behinds, way too easy. Short kicks with handballs received, long kicks to the 50, didn't seem to matter.
- Darling, Allen, Waterman not nearly doing enough up the ground. Aliir and Esava shaped the game every time we won the ball.
- Gaff, done. Barrass humbled early, held his own after that but didn't set a great tone.
- Scoreboard would have been brutal if Port kicked decently (but also they wouldn't have had so many easy cut offs as we tried to leave the fifty so who knows).
- Let go of the rope in the final 10 minutes. Port poured in on (again, not like they might have) but very flat way to finish an afternoon with signs.
