No worries, thanks DJC.

It's amazing what you notice at the ground when you stop following the play and start looking at the overall picture.

I noticed that Geelong did what the Western Bulldogs did to us a few weeks ago.

Whenever we were kicking in, they actually gave us the back pockets to kick into and had compacted the rest of their team from the HFF line to the Centre Square Circle, effectively leaving us only a long kick down the line on both wings, or if we were brave enough, the corridor.  We only got out when one of our players was brave enough to take the players on, and gain an extra 10-20 metres, before the ground opened up but it was under heavy pressure due to the Cats "flooding forward".

It feels a little as though we have been found out and I'm looking to our coaches to help our boys through it.

Bolton needs to start working on his Plan Bs and Cs.

He has been caught out many a time with no second option....

I like his teaching mantra but not convinced, far from it, he is the 'Messiah'!

Again on Saturday, we had too many kids out there. Smedts and Palmer should have played....I think Palmer will retire year's end.

And I reiterate Fisher will become a better player long term if he plays in the 2s.....for now.
