I said it last week, Ill say it again, given season is all but over, time to experiment. Lets have a look at some of Cincotta (extended run), Binns, Cowan, Akuei (Im serious), Dow, Fog, Mirkov, Lemmey (not sure what he did after 1/2 time last night).

It's not the only issue, but definitely the biggest one IMO.
I remember Parkin a few years back saying that in his time in football, the skill execution in very facet of the game has improved out of sight, except goal kicking. It's a black art.

Lemmey has some skills and is a nice kick but doesn't do enough.
Binns looks a player, can kick both feet unlike most of our other players and Cincotta is my type of player for the modern game and should be in the team along with Cowan when fit.

This will be so ugly.
Sadly my son has tickets to go with his Melb supporting friend. :o
I still vividly remember the preseason game last year or the year before when we beat Melbourne and the Carlton crowd chanted VOSSY and it felt like we’d finally found our right fit. ?

If we're serious MacG and Ed can't play again in 2023.

Bad finishing isn't our only problem. It would only paper over the cracks that are wide open. In our last 3 matches despite the result and scoreline I was already unimpressed with our method by half time.
In fact when we won this season, our wins were only ok IMHO and they covered the ills back then.
We haven't looked good all season and even our West Coast match I remember stating it was the worst dominant performance I had ever seen.
