Both teams made a lot of errors today, lots of dropped uncontested marks, lots of poor ball use heading into F50.
In the end we get an ugly win, but really if we'd kept our composure like the first two rounds we probably should have won by some comfortable margin. Our KPFs played a little naïve, and our SFs didn't give them suitable chop outs, this week we were well beaten for ground ball in our F50, never really looked like crumbing one. Dawks cleaned up too many of our F50 entries too easily.
I thought we didn't really get connected in the midfield either, we won plenty of hard balls but often made little forward progress, just not as clean this week as we have been in pervious weeks.
I actually think we got a bit greedy, I suspect the stats might show a drop in the GAs and 1%s.
