They'll have Taylor and Coniglio out next week. Taylor will be a big miss with our talls up forward
One thing, the last few years, we have easily played our best footy with half the side out. Don't know why but it keeps happening. Maybe we switch on alot more.

We really got exposed on spread from a contest, they were good at, we were terrible. Their coast to coast ball movement was effortless compared to ours. They were cleaner for longer but some of the stuff we allowed to occur was criminal (eg that goal they kicked from a boundary line take away where we should have killed the contest. We really should have banked another 4 points, oh well ces't la vie.

Do i need to say it?
You do NOT need 2 rucks.
It seems a few others are starting to come on board.
I thought Pitto was better ruck today, but he still only played bang on 50% game time.
TDK was exactly 75% game time.
So for 75% of the match, we had 1 ruck on the bench. That is 1 mid for 75% game time we lost.
Which would've helped with our run....

Round of applause to Sam "Mr Professional" Walsh coming back from a big lay off.
34 touches, 13 tackles, 8 clearances, 611m gained. all game high (for both clubs) and there was daylight between 2nd.
About the only thing he did wrong was not find a target in the dying seconds.
Fantasia and Durdin, choose 1, drop 1. Experiment is over.
Pitto being picked over Cincotta was a terrible move. Pitto did very well, better than TDK, but still shouldn't have played.
Cincotta would've been handy both in the middle and as coverage for when Saad went down. Yes, hindsight is 20-20, but i said it before the game too.
8 more scoring shots, losing by 2 points. We were due. We needed a reality check. Better against a nobody team than a team we will be fighting for a position with in the 8 (or 4).
Injuries seem to be mounting up now.
Kemp, with possible concussion.
Saad, with a hamstring
Gov, with a hamstring.
Running out of fit players to cover these blokes.

TDK and Pitto never really settled in to work him over. I personally Never want to see the two of them play together again, just my view.
I think if we hadn't had Pitto we would have lost by a lot more.

Given the game is at Marvel I think we will rebound ok but if it had been at their home ground/s then I wouldnt be so confident.GWS will eat us alive on that deck.

So I'm a glass half full type.
We execute better (not remarkably mind you) and we win. Owies at the end could have won it with nothing more than some composure. I think the message from the bench about how long was left was lacking with a few minutes to go because we seemed to think there was no time left even though there was plenty.
We'll learn from that but we shouldn't have to. We fell for the same old stuff. Ben keays reserves 3 or 4 goals and we let rankine go head to head with cripps like idiots at stoppages.

Adelaide move it quick to space by hand and we couldn't do anything about it, Freo did the same last week. Adelaide, like Freo, forced us to kick to contests. Vossy and co need to go to work and come up with the counter plan.
