We basically run out of legs, we could only use 60 of our 75 interhcanges.

Last night we made Casboult look reliable! :o

Then they seemed to rotate to play team defense with Melican and Fox trying to be second man up in contests but were just outsized. We should have made more of their deficiencies but as we well know couldnt convert even when we did mark the ball. Their plan was to get the ball to ground and release Blakey down back and he just ripped us a new one as we didnt have anyone who could run with him....
Weiters and McGovern worked well in the absence of Young, there was little confusion and the pair had 9 and 7 intercepts respectively, they basically kept us in the game. I thought Kemp was OK despite a couple of clangers. We be saying we need better efficiency and McGovern went at 89% DE.
Despite kicking for goal like crap Charlie has a night out with contested marks against reasonable opposition, he's in good form and just needs to keep working hard and he'll have another day out soon.
Acres and Cerra were better this week, although Cerra might have a week off, that aggression is exactly what we need. We need some aggression directed at opponents not just the pill, we can't play 100% of footy as the hunted, we have to do some of our own hunting! I think Cerra's defensive work / pressure was his best all season.
Cottrell's best game for the season, perhaps his best game for the club!

Whoever is in charge of our between the lugholes stuff is failing, badly, to unite and create a team dynamic. Probably doing well in the creation of model citizens, but failing to bring forth the bold warrior within each, wanting and willing to really hurt for his mates.
Mentally, we're a dog's breakfast. No shared team clarity of purpose, leadership, discipline and ruthlessness.
Tarah Kavanagh has been our sports psychologist for some time. She also maintains a role in academia. Not sure if she's still with us though.
Here's an interesting read for you ?
Who'd have thunk!

I probably would have moved McGovern forward who was marking ok and told Harry to get out of the road....

Cerra has a week off.
Could force up to 6 changes

You can forget about discerning any game style when your disposal is so iffy. I take you back to 2014, when Paul Roos was coaching Melbourne :
https://www.afl.com.au/news/443427/im-embarrassed-says-roos
Despite kicking just three goals (from 19 scoring shots), Roos said he wished fixing the problem was as easy as changing the game plan.
"I wish it was that simple ... [if it was] I'd happily change [the game plan]. You are assessing yourself as a coach all the time, there is no question, but just the simple errors ... just incredible," Roos said.
"If you have got an inability to hit targets, it's really hard to implement a game plan because you just can't execute the most basic skills."
Food for thought.

My guess of the mystery component has something to do with fun. When there's a sort of harmony within the club. So that all individuals feel safe, valued, and strongly committed to the greater good. Where all individuals are well matched to their very clear goals. Where performance is reviewed regularly with transparency, learning focus, and clear process

After losing last night & the Suns rolling the Dogs tonight, we have slumped to 13th on the ladder.
If the Tiges happen to defeat Port tomorrow, we will drop another rung down to 14th.
