“Pregame thoughts:

- 1 RR goblins is an experiment im trying to see to the end. It is rough, in the last 2 games I have flubbed my first rolls or blocks, causing me to have to expend it for positioning.

- I didnt win receiving and lizard beat me in both strength and speed so I consider myself the underdog this match. Iw ould need lots of luck to even draw this.

First half:

- I used the chevron set up a friend of mine showed me and I like it for the most part. It gave me enough backfield to respond to my opps drive.

- I set the bomber back, but this just had him out of range. I suppose as a target, he attracted some blitzes so maybe in just him being where he was kind of deep was also useful?

- I took some shots early and then late for a stunty cage crash multiple times. None of them succeeded. I think one was a BD for the carrier which technically is success. But I was in position to make those attempts, so that itself I think is successful for a drive.

- Blizzard hurt me more than the lizards because theyre faster.

- I think I did a troll block before a few dodges and it cost me positioning like around t4 or so - dub skulled. And it set up some free blocks. But I learned from this and in the rest of the match I used my dodges first. I think for that block, I was looking for some sort of positioning to justify it as the first action. But I have learned this before so I learned it again, never trust a troll. This was a failure on my part.

- I never really got to foul because I was always down players and trying to tag for a cage crash.

- Tried for the TTM but in 2 turns I failed all my pickups. Dems de breaks.

Second half thoughts:

- I like my offensive drive. I've had toruble with that before whent he ball is kicked deep, this less a little less than midfield. I did a feint one way, and then moved my goblins the other way. I didnt move forward until I bunched up with the rest of the team - learned that from someone else that analyzed my matches.

- My only foul was a precision foul to make certain the skink on the ground could not blitz the carrier.

- First successful offensive drive even if a bit early, I'll take it.

- Kickoff result in my favor as they lose a turn. I'm hoping for a good kick deep or a flubbed pickup but I dont get any of these things. It goes right on the line - they easily block me off the ball and pick up the ball. Several failed cage crashes later, and opp scores and wins.

Overall Thoughts:

- the chevron defense is giving me more of a chance so I realyl like it.

- On my offense, I set up 2 squares off the ball and pulled back to prepare for another flubbed pickup and I had enough of a team around the ball to deal with it. Blew the RR on my 4th pickup attempt but thats what its for and it was worth it.

Good game with a very good coach, would def play again.

gonna give goblins a rest because I really dont like them. ”
