Connolly needs to learn to do basics he’s not Hollywood yet
He’s trying to make the play but keep it simple kid

skeptic wrote: Fri 30 Jul 2021 9:45pm To be honest… what’s jumping out at me tonight is that we’re being exposed in all the areas that we know we have problems.

Midfield with Crouch, Dunstan, Ross and Jones = lack of polish

We’re short ruck depth and are seriously missing Ryder

Three small forward types in Kent, Butler and Higgins all missing so far

We need a CHB to help with the marking forwards and let Wilkie run more

All of this is old news
That’s why the last thing we need is another big forward.

They literally have no ruckman and they’re still flogging us

I can understand why we dropped Clavarino, watching Wilkie & Howard stand on the mark is what's the game is all about. Protected species.

Great work mid field. Howard and Wilkie should just walk off.

The irony is we’ve had plenty of ball in our half
Our forward efficiency abs turnover from defence is killing us
Just really really poor

Outplayed - our skill levels are way off Finals material. If we can't sort out this slaughter it will at least put us out of our misery ...

Switched to the Olympics, St.Kilda clearly aren't interested tonight.

Good game for Ryder to miss

Bit like the 4 he missed to start the year

No idea around the ball without him

The lack of effort and pressure is a really poor reflection on the team.
Happens way too often.
They pick and choose when to give effort which is a really poor trait.

Entries have been disgusting
What's happened is no ruckman that's good enough to spoon feed our plodding mids.

Most importantly let’s hope Ratts doesn’t raise his voice too much at half time :roll:

Howard has been putrid tonight. Add Membrey, Webster, Ross, Dunstan, Crouch, Hill, Higgins, Kent, Long, Hunter giving below parr performances and you get touched up.
