These four have been particularly underwhelming and questions need to be asked, particularly of the first two.
Fix the midfield and a lot of problems go away.
I think all four Prof.
Apart from one ripper game SPS has been ordinary overall.
Fisher - some good patches last year. This year, meh...at best.
Kennedy - injuries then strange non selections (some say a function of the Folau tweet?)
Setters - who knows, back after a knee but needs time in the 2s imo.
I'm hoping DeLuca will add some spark to our mids - we surely need some!

When the midfield fails, it affects the backline and the forward line - all 3 segments fail.
As a collective, our midfield is not even a bad joke, it is worse....
They have no system, plan, strategy....to win the ball and use it well.
The blokes function as individuals not as a cohesive unit.
That's ok in U/12s but senior AFLlevel - it's laughable....
Cripps knows that too and has lost his belief that we have the ability there to win games.

Our team as it stands is decimated by injuries to the key senior players and there is nothing left but bruised and battered kids being lead by a novice, with a injured ruckmen for assistance!
Think harder people, we were not and never were favourites against the Aints or the Cheats!
They were missing way better players and they still pumped us.

Dow and LOB should be included here.
Dow - is he the worst kick going around right now at senior AFL level?
Should not be playing 1s until this is redressed.
LOB - looking like a shocking waste of a top 10 draft pick....

And Ed Curnow what to make of him not being played in his best role?
And Kreuz - clearly couldn't ruck yesterday - how badly injured is he?

I reckon the second two.
Kennedy has played two games this year.
Setterfield has played 10 games total.
Fisher and SPS are not fit enough, do not get to enough contests and end up with 14 possessions.
None of our mids block or shepherd for each other.
It is an indictment on the coaching group.
I really wanted Sam Mitchell as an assistant. I think he will make a super coach.
Tough, uncompromising, successful, nasty, and doesn't care who he upsets.

There are a lot of justified concerns about some of the players but overall I'm prepared to see how this list would go with a different (hopefully better!) coaching regime and the injection of a couple of hard bodied, hard at it, mature mids.

Really? Ed was on Merrett until half time I think and had him covered. After that not sure where he went but it looked like Cunningham took the role on for whatever reason. I assume Ed was covering someone else but he wasn't being wasted up forward that I could see.
Kreuzer smashed Bellchambers, just smashed him

I'm talking about the overall season....

Exactly, the tactics were sound, but the support players were too few in number and continued to make simply unforced errors with poor decision making. Bolton cannot kick the ball for them.
Time and time again there were kick DIRECTLY to the opposition, poor choices and little thought process. I think it is also worth noting this is the first year without in-play runners. This has hurt us more than people acknowledge.
