This was an issue under BB and Teague was one of the protagonists in that debate. He should have been working on this and fixed it by now seeing he was aware and knowing the problem existed. As I said, its nit picking.
I brought up the fact we dropped 1 kid who could kick and brought in 2 that couldn't. We were already struggling going inside 50, so i thought this was the wrong move.
I also questioned pre-game that Stephenson was a player i didn't see a matchup for.
I also found it difficult to justify playing 2 rucks, when it was clear we needed pace.
We all know the end result.
Personally, i think we lost this game when the teams were picked.
I reckon the teams were picked with 1 eye on thursdays game and i reckon there will be plenty of changes. There should be.
Polson banished for all time.
Dow back to the 2's.
Pittonet/TDK/Harry/Levi.....one has to go. Too many players who all trying to play the same role. Pick 3, any 3 and leave it at that.
SPS, Kennedy, Cottrell all need a recall to the side. I'd even bring in Honey too.
If ANY of our boys are running at 90%, rest them. We have enough depth (of sorts) to play AFL level players while resting some. Do it.
We still have a chance to play finals, and while we do, we should be picking a side to win.
I'm not sure we gave ourselves our best chance on Sunday.
