Probably the worst we've played this year. It is extraordinary how poor our skills are.

On the positive side we're (just) still in it but this could easily get ugly in the second half if Port step it up a notch.

Carlton are the worst kicks in the competition. Carlton are the worst two way runners in the competition.
Carlton are the worst team at manning up during transition in play.  >

McGovern hasn't done much and what he has done he may have been better off not doing it.
SPS made a couple of bad decisions with the ball in hand, but did a couple good things, including tackling

Not too many 'bad' players, just a lot of bad decisions.

Our kicking is terrible, Defenders just don't stay with their men. Forward line is Casboult and nothing else..
Their defenders clearing the ball too easily, no pressure from a very slow forward line.

Kicking atrocious
10 metres behind on the spread
Ball movement way too slow
Structure a mess
McGovern’s failure to attack a contest at CHF in the 2nd qtr downright embarrassing

All not good
Teague a lot of work to do

When our skills are that poor usually means we are not as switched on as we should be.....again!

Trying to play the chip chip chip game plan was not working.

Being more direct and through the guts was the change that needed to be made. We looked a lot more dangerous once we did that, but its our last kick inside 50, and our kicking at goal that has let us down. We turn it over there and they clear it end to end and score.

We are terrible tonight esp Cripps. Levi good though. Our execution has been really bad and we have missed 3 easy goals at least. Walsh fantastic early but seems to have faded. We really need to focus in the 2nd half and we could be in with a show.
