Sims got grade 3, 4-5 games
I think that is a bit roughy TBH.
Yes he hit Tracey high but Connor was also falling into it.
A suspension is fair but 4-5 and grade 3 is a bit rough IMHO

It’s either over the top or nothing at all with the Match review and Judiciary

I feel we panic a bit and try and play faster tempo when we are already carving up in attack.

Toby was the main example we had them back pedalling and Toby’s run was unreal he just needed to slow a sec and play it right.

These little things just relieve the pressure. I know that’s what footy is and all teams do it but we are making way to many fundamental errors

It would have been much less without his shocking record of priors ..

Obviously I've quoted you Matt but my reply is not necessarily directed at you or what you said.

It wasn't long ago I remember watching the warriors go almost 80 minutes with a 100% completion rate but they never looked like winning. It seems pretty obvious to me that we are trying to play a fast, slick, advantageous/opportunistic, maybe even sort of "predatory" style of attack. We take a lot of risks with the ball and at the moment it's not sticking as much as we would like, no doubt. But it's only part way through year one with Fitz and he is clearly trying to build something a bit unique that I see a lot of promise in.

We also had half our regular spine missing and a key link man in Dale which no doubt owed to some of the clunkyness.
I agree with some of what you said but a lot of our errors are schoolboy errors and last night 2 of them were bombed certain tries that should have been polished off

Riccio eluded to this.

Part of our attack is to move the ball around a lot and so it’s just going to result in more errors and it’s a accepted part of the game.

That doesn’t mean the unforced errors are acceptable though.

If we can have our completions at the mid 80s we’ll be in any game


From round 2 to 7 we were shifting with LONG passes quickly to players with depth , decoys everywhere , giving each recipient time and space to beat the defender in front of him OR choose a try scoring option , all done WITHOUT silly errors and were disciplined too.
I thought that was the Fitz amazing team improvement from previous years. ( low errors , disciplined and heads up )
Seems to have been put in the vault .
Hope it returns finals time and surprises , with opposition coaches have less time to work out how to defuse it .

I’m still seething over our error rate on Saturday night. It has to be fixed.

I’m all for expansive play and can handle it if it could have led to a try, but so many of the errors were simple ones.

I copped heaps from the missus while walking back to our car grumbling. “For goodness sake, take the win!” she said.

She doesn’t understand and will never understand why I’m not happy sometimes after a win. Of course, I can’t tell her that, she would go absolutely ape ****!

Fitz said they’re addressing it each week so hopefully it gets better soon.

My family don't understand why I yell at the TV every week. I tell them I don't understand how they don't understand.
