Who do we need in the forward line right now as you watch? Someone playing in the twos who is not out there now?
If it was up to me...
Have another utility in to try and release Battle forward at times
Or
Play a guy like Pierce and let Marshall sit forward for patches of time
Kent, Parker and Long... too many small forwards

We have no midfielder that can kick a running goal down the guts.
I reckon we do, Cho just refuses to play him there.

We were crap, again.
The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

We fail to centre the footy all night when we are going inside 50
There was a thread about our forward line entries which lamented the fact that we keep bombing the footy in.
It's either straight down the lime in the direction of the play or we try and bomb it to the hotspot 30m out without looking laterally.
We switch the footy and look laterally when we are in the backline and we do it when we are jsut slightly forward of centre but we fail to do it when we are kicking inside 50
Half way into the 3rd quarter after goals to Savage and then Kent we had the momentum and there were 2 x inside 50 that we just muffed because of our shyte gameplan and our shyte coaching.
The Eagles kicked the next 3 goals and the game was lost

Yeah, because he plays him as a second ruck.

Has to be worth a go right?!
He has brain farts, but he is such an attacking player. Goes on instinct.

Our skills are still poor even our handballs are loopy and allow the opposition time to shut us down. We give far to many loopy slow kicks and just invite pressure.
We are lucky they kicked poorly otherwise it would have been a 10 goals hiding.
Collingwood will be scary next week.

Acres started in the guts. Yay Richo.
That's an ironic 'yay'
There were seconds to go until the final siren
That's the coach giving Blake a taste of it. It's called Richo's valuable 8 seconds of football development

Whilst Jack Steele went to the bench... 2 goals down, 1min 23 to go.

I’d know more about the rules than you let’s put it nicely.
3 frees in a half is telling.

Long, Kent and Parker are not working. Long unsighted so must go. We need better ball users so bring in either White and Hind.
We are crying out for another tall forward, so we need to play another ruck so Marshall can rest forward.
And for the love of God. Can Acres just be played in the middle, as a mid, and let him play his own game.
Although why was he taken off McGovern after 1/2 time?
FFS!!
This is going to be a frustrating season until we get some players back.
We look like a team treading water. We know we're not good enough but keep trying.
All u can ask.

It was also a clearance, Acres rushed the ball outside the centre square.
So there you go Richo. 1 centre bounce, 1 clearance.
100% success rate.

It’s not far away. Best mid out, best two defenders out, recruit out.
Happy with the efforts of Dunstan and Phillips.
Agree with many on here that Acres could be anything but doesn’t seem to get a run... there has to be a reason doesn’t there?
Savage been really good this year.
Just feel like we’re still an unbalanced side. We’ve got some talent, we just haven’t found the right mix/balance yet.
Not sure what needs to change, but something does. Just some tinkering.

He’s a spud. The sooner he’s replaced with Ratten the better.

Have to agree but what did we do to stop it !! We had a realistic chance of winning this game & if we had a coaching strategy that worked we could of been half a chance . They were there for the taking if we preformed to the level of a genuine finals contender but when the heat was on we folded like we cardboard
