29 inside 50s first half for one goal......is story of the tale for me.
Thats been a problem past few years actually.

We can't carry too many kick chasers at the expense of defending your man...
You can't let Jaime Elliott on his own all game this week...

If Saad didn't cover for others we would have got done by 8 goals.

Again last night, I noticed something that may be a guide as to where we are at as a playing group. Bear in mind, it may just be a personal gripe from a cranky old man too.
When the Dogs needed a goal and one of their players kicked one, they didn't appear to "showboat"to the crowd instead preferring to instinctively get together as a group and patted the player on the head or on the back, they hugged and embraced and genuinely showed their pride & passion in the work that had been done. To me, it showed a genuine unity, it showed regardless of the circumstances, they are a team first & foremost.
On the flipside, each time Owies kicked a goal, he ran towards the boundary and beat his chest to the fan base in a manner that to me, looked like he was saying "aren't I sh/t-hot" instead of the expected "come on lads, kick some butt" rev-up. Charlie did it a couple of times too, he generally does that sort of thing after a goal too.
I get what our players are doing but it still looks like we are disenfranchised and playing more as individuals.
And can we stop that low high-five crap too, it looks forced to me. A player does what he is expected to do (e.g. bundles the ball over the boundary whilst keeping an opposition player at bay) and two of our players make a point of running 15-20m to him to put the hand out and they slap palms - what a wank !!

I vote for Harry's cross-body shot at goal and Cripps' cross-body shot at goal with his left foot as the most 'piss-offable' moments.
The coaching staff needs to ban this BS.

Acres' kicking last night was appalling, did you not see him kick it behind our player or directly to an opposition player ?
Pretty sure I read somewhere that Acres' 8 kicks had 0% efficiency. Overall he had 47.1% efficiency. Only Weitering and Cripps were worse

Agreed but even his kicking has devolved and he adds to the turnover tally - maybe trying to thread the needle into too-small spaces.
