I appreciate that there are quite a few posters who have been advocating for Sinclair to play exclusively in the middle. Well, watching their dream come true tonight, what grabs my attention is a massive gap in the backline, which greatly reduces our ability to move the ball quickly out of defence. Brisbane have locked us down inside our back half, and at times we look incapable of escaping.

Camaniti looks a mile off
Running under the footy - getting led to the ball by his man
Everything out of whack this week
Selection boring
Used the least amount of players of any team - year of exploration my arse
Picks the same guys in the same positions every game!

signs good.
we start well we fall in a hole. we start poorly we work our way back.
(unless of course that first goal was us starting well?)

in terms of who has been poor: Gresham is high on my list. As is Byrnes.

The Big O killed us regardless of who was in the ruck. Marshall, Hill or Owens.

At the risk of sounding megalomaniacal…. I can’t stand it when something that seems blatantly obvious to me as arm chair critic primarily because we’ve repeatedly seen it is persevered with, comes to fruition.
The three selections I disliked in the team thread…
- Paton has been really mediocre in the seniors and got a call back too quickly - errors, poor over head, has been costly
- Byrnes: bad decision making, atrocious disposal doing costly turn overs and not getting enough contested footy to justify it
- Caminati hasn’t been the same since returning from suspension. Hasn’t been near it yet and seems to have lost his aggression and attack on the ball

Wow! Only player on either side to collect zero stats for the quarter. They must have 5 guys on him.

For accuracy, we won 5 wooden spoons in the 80's.
83, 84, 85, 86 and 88.
