Rd 5 vs West Coast @ Optus - Match Thread

[Maltopia]

Not a fan of Lloyd doing kick ins...

[Swannette]

Loyds kicking once again causes a turnover.

[Nico]

All of a sudden we are lairising. Just stay positive and don't give them a sniff. All of a sudden we are kicking to contests.

[Mel_C]

Not impressed with the start to the quarter. We have been too cute with our disposals.

We can always rely on Lloyd for a turnover goal.

[Mark26]

Great goal from Parker.

[Faunac8]

Maybe Jake should not be the first option kicking out of defence . Absolute servant who has given so much but is almost guaranteed to give a goal a game away. Still part of the 22 but possibly needs to be used differently?

[Foreign Legion]

Fantastic set shot from Parker.

We need to push on and bloody smash them - percentage

[longmile]

Maybe not so much as previously but so far this year we seemed to revert to the kick it long to Buddy play when under pressure

Historically I'd agree, but I'll disagree here. When we're under pressure we just bomb it into the fwd50, every tall forward (inc Franklin) has to make a play for it in those situations to try and make something out of it.

[Agent 86]

Nup, can’t disagree , they just play with more flair, more diversity and more rapid movement.

I’m happy to disagree. We’d be up by another 6 goals if Bud was out there tonight.

[Mark26]

What happened to the first half intensity?

[Mel_C]

We have seriously lost the plot this quarter. Too many errors and too slow to dispose of the ball.

[Faunac8]

First one for the night

Ohhhhh Errol !

[Daisi]

Ahhh they are wasting the opportunity for a big percentage boost here...young players who get too excited about winning and start to forget about basic football skills...

True but deep down they are looking for some Lance luck when they do

Or Heeney or Papley?
