Obviously the kicking into Fw50 was horrible all match (and has been for a while, probably except for the Bulldogs game)
It was much worse in the first Q and a bit.
I reckon one thing that stood out in that first Q and a bit was the 15m kick - mark - go back - 15m kick - mark - go back style we were playing. We look our best when we take the game on, play on, look for the little kick into the corridor, but then play on from it. Why were we slowing down so much in the first stanza?? Makes the kick into fw50 that much harder, as gives the Swans a chance to set up.
We were a bit more free-flowing in the remainder of the match - and suddenly the forward entries became (slightly!!) easier.
First q and a bit was ridiculous, i think at one stage they had 10 fwd50 entires for 7 goals and we had 20 entries for zilch!!
The only pleasing thing out of the early going, is that we didnt drop our workrate - kept up the tackling and kept winning the contested ball
