Game was just an eye opener lost a lot of faith with how things are going. Like SOS's drafting but our recycled players are taking us backwards please no more at the end of the year unless they are targeted A or B Graders.

Pros
Cripps
Fisher
Harry showed a bit but disappointed he wasn't given more of a run in the ruck. He really does lack physicality in his game.
SPS at least found some ball.
Dow and O'Brien getting better each week
Nothing else.

Cons

Daisy should be retired at the end of the year and really if we had full numbers right now as he was atrocious bordering on disgraceful. Stats might have looked good but they meant zero on the night. Guessing he gave away 5 goals from stupid pieces of play that any first year player could have done better. Torps, kicking out mistakes, general poor disposal, giving away free kicks and my favourite bananas on the run because he has no left foot were just embarrassing for a 200 gamer. Thanks Mick...

Jones first quarter on Rohan Marshall was not good enough for a senior AFL defender and in reality is the way he has played all year. He continues to let his opponent have space 5-10m and is more worried about taking intercept marks. In my mind he is either a back shoulder defender or he has one more year because it will never work the way he currently plays.

Players looked like headless chooks out there. Not a big change the coaches fan previously but something has to give it just isn't working maybe we need an assistant coach overhaul.

Pickett and Garlett look like going down the Liam Sumner path just simply not good enough.

Running Power!!! We don't need anymore contested beasts or outside players but players who can run and carry and also win there own ball!
Players like Billings, Stevens etc always have a field day against us as with Thomas, Cripps and Kennedy just being unable to keep up.

Kennedy is along way off it. Yep he's been injured but he isn't going to get any quicker and is poorly skilled. He can only play onball as he doesn't have the speed anywhere else and then he is run of when in the middle.

Rowe another for retirement

At times no body to kick it to even the defensive wing side let alone a forward line. We are learning nothing when we have no options coming out of the backline!!!

Someone come in and pick up the recycling we have a full bin!!
