We lost all our tall forwards pre season & had to patch together a forward set up.
The boss inherited a pedestrian midfield which has been at least competitive.
We’ve had 1 bad game in 10 outings, with a percentage of 120!!
We played some good footy against GWS, any win interstate are tough to come by.
Yep …there is a couple of real miserable supporters among us
Lol I thought sane
7-3 people not happy…
And not only 7-3 just look at how many 4 quarter ganes we’ve played this year vs last year where we won games off a good half here or there or individuals brilliance???
The list is middling geezus midfield tells you that
But I have hope for our kids and pray for another Owens in the next crop somewhere …
We have a game plan - people know their roles..
Still can’t please some muppets I guess

They're blocking our switches and getting numbers back.

We will have games like we did at the start of the year- just not every week.
Yes that's right and, where they have the players, teams are placing more physical pressure (heat as Ross called it) on our lightly framed mids, so fair (Adelaide), some unfair (Port Adelaide). It's why recovering players like Jack Steele and Mason Wood have not been as effective as they were in the first few rounds.

Totally agree.

Our midfield has been exposed and are not winning first use, consequently we were committing more to the contest then getting exposed on the outside. Every coach says you have to at least even the contest at the coal face to give yourself a chance.

The game against GWS was a lot higher standard than what some are given it credit for. It was a very good win against a team that threw everything at us.They were very unlucky losing two important talls during the game.
