Team balance was exceedingly poor even before Kreuzer was ruled out of the game - really not sure what the club does at all of these meetings during the week, if they plan to go into a match with Byrne, Plowman, Marchbank, Simpson, Jones and O’Shea in defence? Mobility? Coverage of a speedy small forward? Completely out of balance and Byrne and OShea are currently VFL at best.
In the midfield, our decision not to play a ruckman at all beggars belief, as does BB’s later adminssion that we had planned for Krooz not playing well before this game - here’s a tip Brendan, best to keep that one to yourself. Phillips or McKay should have played. As others have said the decision to play Polsen was poor and you’d have to say that either of Kerridge and Graham would have been more serviceable. We’re also currently carrying Cunningham, Garrlett and Paddy Dow who simply are not doing enough.
Murphy’s disposal was abysmal and I counted 6 absolute howlers from our captain. Worst game from him for a very long time.
Weitering? What’s left to say? I just don’t like his mindset. He’s not hard, not aggressive and I’m sorry but he’s not up for the fight.
Casboult was played out of position, Wright was largely unsighted.
It was all so hard to watch, but I haven’t lost hope. Obviously any team sheet with Mullet, OShea, Byrne, Polsen, Lamb is going to struggle, compounded by Weitering and Murphy’s form slumps and of course no recognisable ruck or full forward. Match committee go figure.
