It is a far bigger ground they're playing on today. That actually suits this team. They're still kicking the ball long, but at least its over the heads of opposition this time. I still think we need to find shorter targets at times.

Livingstone short pass in F50 was more like what I want to see. However Bonnici has a shot from 40 and it was never going to make it. In fact it went out on the full. I really want them to be encouraged to pass the ball off rather than have a shot thats outside their range.

Also, I believe it was Rowe?, who miss kicked the ball to a target about 6M away. This cannot happen. Was it her that missed the ball completely last week when trying to kick? That needs to be addressed.

So are they kicking long because they cannot hit the short target? Because I find it annoying that they bomb it as hard as they can so often when they dont need to.

Against the best teams that has been found out. Lions and Freo cut everything off. Today against a poor WCE side, and on a bigger oval, we can get away with it a bit more.

They looked good in passages, but still a lot of work to do.

Can’t question the effort. Skills ok but not up to it especially when teams put the pressure on. Missing Bri big.

good win finally kicking goals which helps as they say kick goals the most wins.

Missing bri too much though.

Bri is the key but on the sidelines sadly.

A win v north in tassie and we are back in business.

Also i think our remaining matches at Vic park after that so a win then its vic park.

Also i think we need to win at vic park more now.

Think we become slack and assume we win at vic park too many times as we saw v freo at vic park.

Lack of clean gathers, which invites more pressure, doesn't help, but still very frustrating watching this team and the way they don't lower their eyes when kicking into the forward line. Just one hopeful kick into 50 after another. A little bit more composure on that front in the first quarter and a bit, and we wouldn't have needed those 50m penalties later on to finally put it out of reach.

Agree there need to be cleaner and mark the ball helps.

Need to play the short chip game along the wing.

We get undone when we go in the corridor.

Turn overs happen.
