Have a look at the third quarter V West coast. We dominated the play and had nothing happening up forward.

Have a look at the difference when Hooker went forward. He simply presented, ran back and presented again. It was then that we started to make an impact, although the game was well and truly gone.
When our forward structure improves we will look a completely different team.
5 official games...
Re: 5 official games...
We actually had one more F50 entry than West Coast. That says we are getting it up there, but are doing jack shit once it's there - either because of poor disposal into it, or by our forwards not winning the contests. We also won the clearances - surprisingly....considering we were absolutely SMASHED in the ruck.Filthy wrote:Agets got to be up there for them score Sis![]()

Re: 5 official games...
We have a forward line that comprises two guys who have played about 17 games between them (one having been out of the game for 2 years, the other having missed the first 3 weeks and is probably just finding his bearings). We are missing the goal scoring option of Monfries and Williams is probably also trying to work out where he fits in the structure? I watched the West Coast game and when you couple the above with appaling disposal into the F50, I am not surprised we are struggling.BenDoolan wrote:We actually had one more F50 entry than West Coast.

I think our forward line is a work in progress. However, the disposal coming into the F50 has ot be addressed and I believe the frenetic ball carry, short hand ball style is only putting pressure on the guy who ends up being the one responsible for kicking to a leading forward. More often than not, he is kicking under pressure and not hitting the target
