With the talent we had out there today, we should not have lost. However, that is where we are at, at the moment. We don't move the ball well, we go back or sideways instead of giving our forwards a chance. It is easy to see at either level and it is losing football.
Harry Lemmey had 5 possessions today. That isn't good enough. But when you move the ball forward like we do, it doesn't give him much of a chance. If we got the ball out of the middle and moved it quickly forward, who knows what he might do?
Josh Honey: if he has a future, it isn't as a small forward. He isn't kicking goals, he isn't putting enough pressure on to keep the ball in our forward line; he has no profile in the air. Play him in defence and see if he can pick a guy up. If he can't, we've lost nothing.
As for Dow, I'd give him a game simply to change things up. We've been awful out of the middle all year, so he can't do worse. If he can't make a contribution, then we know. But we need to make changes: what we're doing isn't working.
