First half, we had dominance, couldn\u2019t post a winning score from our entries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of repeat entries so we need to work on our method in that space and then second half, centre bounce.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose were the two areas that I thought were quite costly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt felt like we had a lot of re-entries particularly in the first half where we just bomb entry and rely on Jesse Hogan taking a contested mark almost and it\u2019s not happening at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kingsley is confident his side can fix their chemistry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think our connection is nowhere near where it needs to be at the moment and that can happen,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt happens in parts of the season, we have managed to work on it and fix it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have done it in the past and we will do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In another injury blow to the Giants, on the minor side, winger Ryan Angwin came off with an ear injury.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBurst his ear drum apparently, must have got hit on the side of the ear and burst his ear drum,\u201d Kingsley said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I don\u2019t think it is significant even though it sounds pretty significant to me as someone who is uneducated in that (medical) space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kingsley suspects he will be fine to play after the Giants have the week off with the bye.<\/p>\n<p>Angwin could join Toby Bedford (hamstring), Brent Daniels (hamstring), Aaron Cadman (pelvis) and Jack Buckley (concussion) in being available for the Giants\u2019 next clash against Richmond on April 12.<\/p>\n<p>Originally published as <a class=\"body-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.news.com.au\/sport\/afl\/afl-2026-gws-coach-adam-kingsley-laments-his-sides-efficiency-inside-50\/news-story\/e231702c124fff5e49b3b645e7f2d478\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AFL 2026: GWS coach Adam Kingsley laments his side\u2019s efficiency inside 50<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"GWS coach Adam Kingsley says his side need to make better use of their inside 50 dominance following&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":568996,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[2534,1142,638,64,63,689,55,639,10133,279731,279727,2105,1139,2524,33693,12181,647,279729,43961,677,279730,28008,80387,85,19086,660,279728],"class_list":["post-568995","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-aaron-cadman","tag-adam-kingsley","tag-afl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australia-and-new-zealand","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-collingwood-magpies","tag-ear-drum","tag-ear-injury","tag-getty-images-inc","tag-greater-western-sydney-giants","tag-jack-buckley","tag-james-wiltshire","tag-jesse-hogan","tag-melbourne","tag-minor-side","tag-newswire-sport","tag-oceania","tag-quiet-night","tag-quinn-rooney","tag-ryan-angwin","tag-sports","tag-toby-greene","tag-victoria","tag-winning-score"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/568995","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=568995"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/568995\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/568996"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=568995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=568995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=568995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
