Hasn't started so well. Tigers with the first 5. We have got one back through Stocker.

Being slaughtered by the umpires but that is not the reason we are losing.
We are soft to play against, we bump and tackle opponents and they stay on their feet, we don;t hurt them. Going the other way we get tackled and collapse like a bag of sh1zen and are out of the contest!

Ben Silvagni has really improved. Looks fitter gets to lots on contests and impacts. Said it last week but has smarts and like his brother does all the hard stuff.
Along with stocker kennedy and Dow been in our best on a disappointing day till 3/4 time.

I agree, Dow and Kennedy our two best I reckon, Stocker a bit quieter but has done some nice things and finished well for a couple of goals. None of the other listed players have done much

When we don't get the footy we are way too soft.
For example you see Dow attacking the stoppages, but if the ball doesn't go his way he doesn't take any opposition bodies, the same applies to several of our mids. It means when the bounce doesn't go our way the opposition take it away bruise free.
It's probably partly a coached behaviour, because of our light bodies, but it won't win many games against better teams.

Last week we played poorly against a team a lot less well regarded.![[Image: VFLTeamR19.jpg]](http://northernbluesfc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/VFLTeamR19.jpg)
