Dow is clueless, zero awareness, real worry that bloke. These blokes can't get it, can't use it and apply F all pressure on the other mob when they have it. Murphy did better, he at least got the pill, but his use stank. Curnow tried but his use was awful. So many ineffective players, can't carry so many passengers.
Big loss was Kreuzer, if it's a foot that might be the end unfortunately. Levi very serviceable, at least gives us a presence around the ground. Before getting injured Kreuzer looked cooked.
Plowman was hopelessly out pointed, but at least we have Willo as cover. I don't see how we're going to fix that midfield though, it is so far off AFL standard it's embarrassing. Time to give some of the supposedly talented kids a rocket.
Good post. Agree with all your comments here. Especially with regard to the 'poor use' our mids give us. Kernow and Murphy basically need to be replaced in the midfield with 2 excellent ball users. E.g Coniglio etc. If we can't get a player the ilk of that, then we need to try something different to get some class in there...e.g maybe play dok there, or obrien etc. At least they kick well. Nunes was poor with his feet. Will not survive doing that with only 11 possesions. Dow is awful. Worst number 3 draft pick i've seen. For that pick alone, I totally understand why SOS is no longer at the club. Throw in Setterfield, lazy cunningham, lazy mcgovern, plowman (yes Plowman, the one that small forwards always take apart but they keep playing him) and a few others and it is no wonder we were blown away by 40 at half time. I was thrilled with Martin (real class), crippa and seton played well, although i'd like his 19 touches to be 24. Frustrated because we have some good players now, unfortunately the spuds need to go so we are not let down by them.
