What rubbish.
Cerra is playing onball. He is probably our only consistent onballer right now.
In suggesting a Walsh or a LOB spend a fair amount of time down back, I am acknowledging we are a bit desperate for run and rebound down back and something might need to give.
Fist Williams then Doc and now Saad.
St.K are not a quick side so in some respects it is probably timely our sluggish and under performing midfield comes up against them now. Voss needs to throw down the challenge to Cripps, Hewett, Ed Curnow and Kennedy. To win the contest.
But he also needs to find some way to generate run from defense. I like Cincotta, have watched him for 2 years in the VFL, but it is a big ask for him to come in and be a large part of the solution.
Our stuttering midfield less Walsh has got us to 4th on the ladder. So maybe ask Walsh to start on a wing but play with an eye on the backhalf so he can be the guy playing Saad's role. Or LOB. Someone has to generate that run.
And what do you mean by stop-gap? Sounds like a throw away term from someone who doesn't know what they are talking about.
LOB and Walsh are two of our best runners, someone has to help the backs this weekend and maybe next weekend also if Saad is out again. Saad is a major avenue out of defense for us. His absense will be acutely felt if we don't find other ways to run and carry from defense. Again I like Cincotta but gee it is his first game.

No wonder we've got problems down back

The same media also made mention about the amount of injuries we have also.

Yes but that and game plan are mutually exclusive.
At least in our situation, in my view.
Yeah losing Williams was a blow but injuries happen and I don't believe for one minute our slow game plan which has been there all year was designed around his absence.

Voss needs to wake and see that the better teams are taking the game on.
Essendon*** look great and have banked wins through taking the game on with rapid fire handball chains.
Far cry from chip chip chip.

Do you really believe the loss of our fastest backline players (in mind and legs) Saad Doc Boyd Cottrell along with Williams doesn't affect our speed out of defence?

If so, you cant be serious, and obviously cant let go of your anti Voss agenda. Can't that wait till the end of the season? You're blinded by bias imo. Well, TBH its pretty obvious you are.

We were the run and gun team last year, which proves he's onto that game plan, so you can't ignore that, then he adjusted as the media had a go at our defensive side of the game and he adjusted.

Our biggest issue, last year, and the media finally admitted it then, was injury. Same as this year, but like the media, you are choosing to avoid the real issue thus far: injury.

Time will tell. We've won more than we've lost after 6 rounds. Did I mention we would have beaten Saints if not for the shocking kicking for goal and a few misdirected passes from backmen which led to goals.

I know if we get a few more players back from injury over the next few weeks, it will be a different story.
