I feel like we're missing Setanta today

Agree, he is to slow at releasing the ball atm.

Well, you'd be right - he's not playing today.

Henderson back up forward where he belongs. Walker and Waite are mobile forwards who need space. When Kruezer moves into ruck we still need that bigger body that can hold position in a pack mark and bring smalls into play.

Our smaller forwards are also lazy and letting their defenders run and carry.

Bower and Thornton on Hall and Jones. Laidler on Grant.

Thought AJ has been pretty good. Houlihan way off the pace. We miss Curnow & Jamo.

We just a little bit ahead of ourselves. A little bit of a restructure and refocus and we will be fine.

West Coast have now had both their byes. Drop this and we're in real strife.

Need to lift immensely. Come on Juddy, show them how it's done!

Agreed - Send Hendo forward, bring the ball down and let the amigos get a hold of it.

We need this win as a buffer for the next 2 games...i'm not liking our chances to be honest

If I see us handball to a bloke under pressure again I will spew.

He's getting it but has turned it over more than usual. Liabilities atm include Garlett, Betts, Walker who haven't had it in their hands. The fact we are in front with so many passengers in the front six might be a good thing. They have to get more involved.

I agree Walker is better if there is another tall taking the heat. That's why I want Thornton to FF and the ruck resting in the pocket. They have to get the ball to ground for the smalls to get a crack at it.

Anytime a player of ours goes off with an injury, it always turns out they weren't 100% to begin with, or were feeling sore well before they were taken off. Our medical staff don't seem to have a great hit-rate right now.

Isolate Walker in the forward line. He is our go to player now.

Too hard to do in modern footy. They won't let us isolate anybody nor will we, them.

They're playing in front, and a lot of our kicks are going straight to them....we are really out of sorts today.

Joseph and Hendo are trying hard.....we're missing Carrots playing the loose man on the wing; and they are really pressuring Juddy and Murph and bottling them up....we don't like playing against this scrambling type footy; and Walkers had 1 possession in the first half.

Kreuzer is a star.

Maybe swing him forward and then back if he's doing no good.

I reckon Kruez has been great up forward, always creates a contest and has had a hand in at least 3 goals so far.

We just need to weather the storm that is the Bulldog's pressure and once the game opens up we will be a lot better.

A bit concerned about next week if we can't handle the Dog's pressure...

Is Robbo injured? He seemed to hurt his shoulder early in the first and has hardly been sighted.

Warnock up fwd is a major liability!

Bower up fwd and Hendo back.
