We so clearly lack a second big marking target across half forward. It’s quite obvious why they’ve left out voss…

Dugan Houthi and Ginbey in the top 5 possession winners on the ground. Seems legit.
Team needs a bake.
Where is the tackling intensity?
Adjustment needed to counter this slow play.
And stop bombing long, our favourite pastime of the last 20 years.
Commentary so pro WCE I had to turn the sound off. Its like there is only one team playing.

Trying to play artificially fast and losing our positioning / structure as a result. West Coast are willing to run and spread , we need to be a bit smarter with the ball.
It’s annoying that the relevant Giro time trials don’t start for another 5 hours and 1 minute.

They may have however we having been slipping and fumbling all year, no matter what the conditions are.
WTF.
The intensity is next level. WC have a point to prove and weve matched them and then some.
That was an excellent first quarter.
Im not taking this lightly.

lack of defensive pressure from our 50m is really poor.
As expected to be honest. Backing up from such an emotional game last week against a team that has been nailed in the media all week, plus get 3 of their best defensive players back to at least give them some structure.
I’ll give BDB a chance to sort it out at 1/4 time.
That was pretty ordinary Q1
Why are we pressing up so high defensively when don’t normally
Why are we over possessing with handballs and inviting the pressure in our def half
West coast are def putting in pressure wise but we have been our own worst enemy IMO

It doesn’t matter how we win, just get the 4 points.

It baffles me that this keeps happening, makes me question how we train compared to other teams
Essingtons first appearance in 2023 ?
Righto. New Essendon. Switch on.
If we don’t lift we are done. I’m telling you.
WC have set up to defend the handpass game, they are holding back and pressuring the receiving player which is forcing the turnover and catching our midfield whilst they are running forward.
We’ve been lucky they have missed so many easy set shots
Get right up them BDB
There’s no way he was a walk up start he should have played vfl and same for geulfi as well should have been made to play a full game for two weeks before being in consideration
