Everyone has pretty much summed it up well. We made great progress from where we were. We found system and belief in each other. Big tick. G&D will get you only so far, however. My key observations in no particular order:
1 Reward for effort. We continue to bomb it in to the forward line and hope the tall forwards will do the rest. We rarely lower the eyes and deliver the ball low and to a leading forward.
2. We have few players that can deliver 1) above. We need more skilled, pacey players in the midfield. Players that can change direction and break lines. And hit the scoreboard
3. Need a classy small forward or 2. Owies, Motlop etc won't win you a flag.
4. Another rebounding defender with pace. Otherwise backline in good shape.
5. Whilst I'm doing my wish list, try and find a young "needle mover". He might not be the most consistent player on your list but he is dynamic. Think DeGoey. Without him, the Pies lose the other night IMO.
That's it, not too much to ask now is it?
