Time to stop drafting KPP, we have a plethora of them on the list. Our first pick should not be Lukosius. Yes, you heard it. We need more certainty on the list and midfielders picked in top 10 have become good or great players. KPP are a lottery and jury is out with 2 of the 3 we have drafted in 2015. I'd trade our 1st pick for two top 10 picks and get the best midfielders with the picks. It's the biggest need on the list and the teams that perform best are those with deep and capable midfields.

Reality is we need to stay the course with the rebuild. Changes have to be made with the list, and Bolts is struggling and needs senior support and some tactical nous.

he doesn't watch footy with me anymore - he has really only ever known this shit.

Coaches went back to the all out attacking game plan this week. We just don't have the midfield to do it. Last week we had players behind the ball and applied pressure to the opposition. Yeah it's not great to watch but it makes us a lot more competitive.

This week we went back to focussing just on ball movement. Could be because we wanted to test it out against a supposedly poor team, could be because we're tanking or really just want to do it as part of the education but whatever the reason is we get smashed whenever we do it. Back line was left wide open and that's not a good thing with the way our midfield leaks inside 50s, at one stage 18 of the last 20 inside 50s had gone to the Lions.

We're genuinely about four really good mature midfielders short of what the good teams have. Dow will be one for sure but we need to add a lot more.

We keep asking ourselves "How can it get worse?"

How about a @#$%&! heart attack!

Curnow was a lone hand in the forward line today and on most occasions was triple teamed because everyone knew where we were going to kick it. If Lukosius is no.1 pick, we take him every day of the week and we don’t ignore him. Problem is he won’t want to come anyway!

I will not be convinced that
a) Casboult suddenly being dropped
b) Dow 'managed' this particular game
c) Simmo late withdrawal

aren't subtle ways to fiddle the system. And if we don't think that players on the ground aren't thinking the same (even though, instinctively, they want to win) and drop their effort 5-10%, we are kidding ourselves

I am not for one moment saying we would have won otherwise, but I am saying that SOS/Bolts/MLG wouldn't be losing much sleep over this particular loss
