We were atrocious in the first half, sensational in the third quarter and then tried to "hold the match" in the last instead of continuing to play all out attacking footy. This played into the Pie hands, they had every reason to go for broke that point.
Just a reminder, we didn't kick a goal in the first or last quarters, that's zero goals for a whole half of a match !!!
The ruck is a big issue IMO, I don't rate Pittonet at all whilst De Koning still has a fair way to go.
The three small forward set-up (Owies, Durdin & Motlop) just doesn't work hence the need for a mid-sized forward to provide an additional avenue to goal alongside McKay & Curnow.
Curnow needs to eradicate the brain-fade stupid decisions from his game, they are just too costly when he does them (i.e. there were two howlers in todays game against the Pies).
I did say in another thread that we would drop the final three games of the season and I was right (certainly not gloating, just pointing out the fact). However, it is imperative that this burns us hard as a club and we come out in 2023 even stronger than we were this year.
It has been an improvement, there is no doubt about it but we are our own worst enemy, fuck the tempo footy palava, lets just go for broke from the first siren to the last, when we do we carve them all up.
