VFL Practice Match: Blues v Pies, Fri 24 Feb

[LP]

I thought we looked a little slow (if that's the right word) bursting from a stoppage, they looked quicker (or maybe slicker is the word)

It is a bit of a feature about our list that we are dominant in certain areas and deficient in others, the trick must surely be to develop a game style that suits us.

Our better players tend to be our bigger slower players, I realise we have Walsh, Doc, Saad, etc, etc., but they can't be everywhere all the time. We need a bit of a game plan that takes the run out of the legs of the opposition that'll keep guys like BigH, Pitto, Cripps, Kennedy, Charlie, TDK, McGovern, Weiters in the game at the end, so opposition don't run over us late in games like they did several times last season.

Hopefully Akers helps, having Hewett and Cerra fit certainly helped early in the season, but even so we still barely hung on for a couple of wins courtesy of the clock when we should have been able to cruise home.
