Smashed in hitouts (48-6) which meant we got smashed in clearances (36-24) and i50s (62-40) by the top of the ladder side.

Davey was very poor, got a few cheapies in the last quarter. Has not got a competitive bone in his body.
How is a losing culture like the Eseendon VFL preparing a player for any
When you have no ruckman that is what happens.

This was the main factor for their runs of goals
Centre clearances, one after the other.
Missed the game. One question, did Perkins sweat?
