There were moments on Sunday where Vossy must’ve been wondering if he was at the right game, like ‘who the @#$%&! are these blokes?’
The end-to-end transitions from GC were straight up embarrassing for everyone in navy blue garb. Getting beaten on the overlap is one thing, but to get beaten straight up the guts - from a kick in… if Vossy didn’t blow up, he’s going to give himself an ulcer.
I’m not one of those fans that demands answers for everything, but if the boss is wanting to shore up the good early work, he might want to trot out some sort of explanation for the lethargy - in particular, the stunted game time from two prime midfielders after losing the skipper at 1/4 time. If it’s the rona, it’s the rona… if it’s completely inflexible load management, that’s just about the end of AR.
On that last point re the stunted game from Cerra and Kennedy when Cripps went down, leaving Hewett to carry the group on his own.
I feel we need to have a really hungry inside mid on the bench ready to throw him in when the other(s) are showing a lack of energy.Interesting point re AR. Round 1 we were singing his praises.
Sidefx summed it up for us:

so far we have won 2 x Q1, 3 x Q2, 0 x Q3 & 2 x Q4
The 3rd quarter slump should be the Coach's domain to solve.
The rest doesn't give us any pattern other than to say we go into our shells.
I think the opposition work out what we are doing during the game and adjust, and we don't...that's Voss too.
The last quarter is maybe Voss adjusting to counter the opposition set up and its too late for the opposition to adjust (twice).
May have nothing to do with fitness, but Cerra and Kennedy were not switched on let alone raring to go. So disappointing, leaving it to too few to carry the load.
I agree with this point and have been saying this since last year after the draft, we need 1 more A grade inside mid.
Kennedy was doing really well up until the last game and I thought he may just be the answer.
But I think he was exposed with his lack of speed at the contest and is why he had so many clangers and little to no impact.
For the slower midfield teams he will be good, but I still think we need one more A grade jet with pace in the middle.
The other point to take note of with this loss is that Pitto has been doing some really good ground work in the opening games and losing him has been a lot bigger than some may give him credit for.
