Not a lot of 'team' in that performance.
Not much system or structure.
That's a symptom of an 'unsettled' side that hasn't really had a lot of time of many players playing together.
Now every side gets injuries and seasons can get disrupted by them.
But a 'rebuild' is a different dynamic.
Because each season you get a turnover and influx of new players that need to gel.
If they did one of those 'sociogram type' surveys... (Not who you enjoy playing with but...How many games has player A played in the same side as player X,Y and Z ).... it would be all over the shop.
It's especially so in our forward half.
Something else its a system of......following the captains lead.
IMO Cripps was the most selfish of all, most individual of all.
Teague needs to give him both barrels in the review.
"If you are running through the centre and have a good kicking teammate next to you.....give it to him! You do not finish off enough of those kicks and we get hurt on the rebound because of it.....and you can't/don't chase. So either learn to kick, or better yet, don't attempt it! Next time you burn a teammate by not giving a handball, you are dropped!"
If he doesn't like it, start working on a trade back to WA now.
As a captain of the club, its simply not good enough, week in week out. Multiple times a game.
