Happy to see better intensity, happy with most of the new faces.
Unhappy with poor kicking, and inability to pull down 'pivotal' marks. Gotta play Hodor with Sandy - I don't give a damn about what the rest of the competition are doing.
We need one of them resting forward as a 'big' target in attack. Haven't got one otherwise. Cam Mac is playing -at best - as a half forward flanker; not sure what Kersten is all about, but simply can't give 4 quarter efforts; and Tabs - well...for every bit of hopeful play, there's a 'let down' around the corner. As a 'marking forward', he simply HAS to take the pivotal mark when he's within kicking distance of goal. He is still struggling with this concept. We just have to keep preserve ring with him.
Very disappointed with Tucker. He has to show more at this stage. Pearce and Sutcliffe were as expected, and I think the bell tolls for Ballas. All can be substituted with younger players, and the sooner we do this, the sooner we go forward. Johnno is obviously gone, but he's the only big body we have down there. Can't see why Hamling isn't playing.?
