First half (esp the first q), we dominated the inside 50s, just didnt convert (both turning enough of them into shots, and actually kicking straight). Then, when they waltzed through the middle, they converted EVERY time they went into fwd50.
So, i reckon in the first half, it was our forward line (and the delivery) that was the issue (as well as the lack of 2 way running, that allowed them easy goals).
If, we had used our opportunities in the first half, we would have been 6 goals up at half time, and that 3rd quarter rot would not have happenned

He made a myriad of changes when in reality few were needed.
I get the feeling this coach and recent others might be the victim of executive meddling, because the decisions seem to be more marketing / crowd driven than making any tactical sense.
For example I hear rumours Charlie is now up for Friday night, still yet to have played a serious VFL game. What the feck would you now rush him back for our season is over, ................... to sell hope and attract sponsors for 2022 that is why?

Eddie - non-event.
Owies - bugger all
Stocker - a shocker ( a week is a long time in football isn't it?)
Cottrell - bloody hell
Willo - God help me
SPS - Ghost
Weitering - worst game for the year
Fisher - zero impact
Slight chance of making finals. Playing a very winnable game. Fail dismally. Reminds me of a one of my favourite Elton John songs. "I've seen that movie too".
:
Eddie - non-event. - he was hurt for most of the game
Owies - bugger all
Stocker - a shocker ( a week is a long time in football isn't it?)
Cottrell - bloody hell
Willo - God help me
SPS - Ghost
Weitering - worst game for the year - yeah, larkey got away from him a couple of times, but he did repel a few attacks
Fisher - zero impact - he had 2 or 3 side steps in the fwd 50, that if he then missed the shot, convert those, and...... (i know, if my auntie had....)

Teague or the MC (which might just include Teague) is semantics.

I would have played him this week to get the monkey off his back and to straighten us up (against North) only trepidation I had was the concrete surface at Marvel.
I endorse him playing AFL as soon as possible. If he plays 5 games to finish this year, he will hit the ground running with confidence, or we will break him and know we need a key forward this off season.
If we wait until next year, he has a rip snorting pre season and breaks down in round 1 next year, what good does that do us?

Cripps is no hack but the Lone Ranger approach will never be successful.

He carried this club on his back for years.Think NB was jesting, Cripps is far from a hack, just needs to adjust to spending a bit more time forward like Fyfe, Bont etc and us becoming less reliant on him in the middle. Problem is then all the attention goes to Walsh, so we need some more high class help in the middle..

Did the umpires let both teams know this was the new rules, or just the Kangas?? They seemed to be not too concerned with being tackled and spun 4 times.
