Our forward line Fischer, Curnow, Silvagni. Possibly one of the youngest and inexperienced going.
It didn't function well today (i.e. i50's to scoring shots ratio), but I suspect there's truck loads of improvement to come. Looking forward to those boys in 2yrs. Perhaps supported by H and/or Kerr...
Exciting times.

Jones far more important to our line up than Murphy. On present form and output.
Stats be damned, Murphy was entirely ineffectual and indeed, costly thanks to some shocking turnovers....sad to say, Kerridge gave more today...
Fisher, um, love the endeavour but is some ways, a way off the pace. Again, Graham gave more and he's likely to be chopped come season's end....
Gibbs better in H2 and hopefully showed the Crows his worth to them.
Charlie C was very good aside from some nervous disposal once ball was in hand.
Daisy/ Another meh effort, hoping he will retire gracefully.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

not bout the forward line, it's all about the shocking mindless, dumb bombing into F50 by the mids and HBs.

Murphy ran his butt off today. His problem, along with Gibbs and Cripps, is that our second tier midfielders are largely ineffective.

Murphy hasn't been hard at it since that incident with the Saints....

Agree we bombed it but also didnt have many players presenting....apart from Charlie Curnow who was great, they covered us well and we were too slow moving the ball.
We also got a bit of our own treatment back from Smith and Laird who did what Docherty and Simpson do to teams in terms of running the ball out from the backline.
Both backlines were on top but they probably had the cleaner entries and we gave them a few easy goals..

because in H1 (Q! especially), our ball movement was stupidly way too slow (and they revved that up after Q1)

To clarify the context of my post. It was in following EB's reference to our dysfunctional fwd line. So yes, it was specific to the fwd line. I do agree though we did not use our i50 chances for whatever reasons.
My EDIT
Some reasons for poor usage i50 well articulated by EB.

Thought Weitering was very ordinary today too. Is he injured or just bereft of confidence?
Jones was the standout of the backline again. Kudos to that bloke!

Thought we ran out of gas....the Crouch boys slaughtered us in the last quarter and had it 20 plus times between them....problem we have is that while our own mids get plenty of ball so do the opposition.
Agree on the 2nd tier mids...Graham got a lot of ball in the back half and Kerridge while good today just doesnt hurt teams when he has the footy....
Credit to Gibbs he was our best player IMO and should be in the AA squad....
