We don't have players who do tackling / pressure acts like Poppy, Cyril and Breust, but we need better than Fasolo. Ideally players with pace endurance, and who can stick a tackle. The closest in my view are :
Pickett (as per Elwood, engaged in an enduring love affair with our rehab department )
Polson
Cuningham
Fisher (can tackle and has pace)
Garlett (pacy but not too keen on tackling)
Walsh
Lang (described as a a HHF on the CFC website, but also injured)
SPS
Murphy (would be ideal, but doesn’t tackle much.)
We need to do something about locking the ball in F50 - those F50 entries are precious and a lot of work goes into getting the ball down there. A similar amount of work is needed keeping it there.

It has been highlighted that the sides that won in round 1 brought significant forward half pressure.
Pretty easy really, if Fasolo et al don't, can't or won't do it this week... bye bye.
I'm more than a tad bemused why we persist with the Ed C up forward schtick... time for Murphy to play as a semi permanent forward (he DOES have the smarts to play up forward and can kick goals), he also seems to have a lot of rushed possessions these days, a sign that his best midfield days are behind him.
Ed C can go back to his customary on ball or wing role - can contribute in a much more positive manner that way. I'm ok with flexible thinking from the MC, but not bloodyminded persisting with a failed experiment or finding a role to keep a bloke in the side.

Curnow and Fasolo must perform ... otherwise the NBs until they do

Polson managed 15 touches AND 2 goals 1 in his last match (R23 last year) against Adelaide. Has just turned 21 and has played 13 games.
Obviously, Polson plays defense too. 7 tackles in that last game mentioned above....as opposed to fasolos 1 tackle.
Polson did have that one good game but his JLT form was ordinary and his overall 13 games have been under whelming...the coach may have a love affair with him
but Ken Hinkley wont be losing any sleep or making any grand plans to counter his impact either.
I'm not sure why we recruited Fasalo if we are going to ditch him after one game for a kid who has has no form in the lead up games?

Fas will be alright. He just looked a bit under cooked.
Give him a bit of time in the VFL. Polson or JSOS or Stocker or whoever
Re: Round 2 - Port v Blues (Sat, March 30, 5.10pm) - Thryleon - 03-25-2019
Don't know why Gibbons is getting a free pass. A mature ager from the vfl and barely fired a shot.
Matty Wright was better value than both of them thus far.
