Stop playing cripps and Hewett together as a start.
Add Walsh and Jagga for run and we are starting to see some difference.
Rotate Williams, Elijah, Ollie (yes it’s time), Lord or another trade or pick and it’s good enough.

What we need however is more run from the wings and half backs. I hope Cowan, Carroll, Boyd, Cincotta and Wilson start to provide this from the back line next year. Need a winger or two.

You want to add a slow player that easily gets pushed off the ball and has kicking issues to an already slow midfield that does not kick goals or hit targets i50?
This is the exact overvaluing of our players I have been talking about, leave Ollie in defence.
Williams, Elijah both quick and skilful and Lord, Jagga and Walsh are no brainers.

Time to play Cripps primarily as a fwd, he can pinch hit in the middle on occasions while George is resting.

12-13 years in, that old dog ain’t learning any new tricks.

If he won’t come out of the midfield, then play him in the ruck.
