The MC need to seriously have a look at the game style. It revolves around contested ball, but we got figured out halfway through last season. Instead of making the change we double down.
Most sides have 1-2 contested bulls max. See Jarrad Lyons out of the Lions side and WIll Brodie can't get a game at Freo. Pies have Mitchell and maybe Adams. That's it. It isn't because they aren't good footballers, but too slow to defender and to slow with ball use.
Our list build saw us add Hewitt to Cripps, Kennedy, E.Curnow, Setterfield and Dow. Even Cerra. Waiting on Carroll. Haven't seen enough. It's just too many inside mids when really only 2 should be in the side.
We play 3-4 and what we get is Kennedy playing off half back, Cerra half back against the Dogs and Curnow half forward or half back.
The same time we have added Doc to the midfield with no success. He is not a natural mid.
Only 2 of Cripps and Kennedy/Hewitt should be in the side.
Ed? Love the bloke and he has got every inch of talent out of his body and if you started a side in Tassie tomorrow he would be an awesome role model. But he is done. Slow and can't kick. I don't understand it. Didn't understand the extra year.
The MC committee also need to work out a way to help Saad. The Crows sat on him with Keays (Did it 12 months eariler so we should have known it was coming) and we can't work out a way to get him into the game. As a result every side has sat on him since and we have no answer.
