Ben McKay or L.Young probably would have played on Riccardi...Weitering had to play on Hogan imo not Kemp but with the speed of entry and lack of pressure even Weitering would have been struggling to stop Hogan who was leading well and kicking straight.
Toby Greene wasnt a real factor either and Boyd did a good job restricting him to two goals so Imho our problems began and ended in the middle of the ground.
We didnt have one winner in the middle imo, Cripps broke even but the rest were well beaten or restricted from their usual output.
Cerra and Cottrell looked off the pace and need more tough minutes of game time...
Hewett and Owies non selections in the 22 was a feckup and as per every season we usually give the opposition in some games a head start by strange MC selections...that stuff drives me crazy and reeks of a cocky over confident approach especially when we have some players fresh back from injury like Cerra and Cottrell.
Cant whinge about Weitering either as they had Taylor out, it does show though we probably need at least one taller type on the bench who can play a few positions and give us cover and flexibility but thats not a one trick only ruckman who would have only made us slower.
Another issue for me is the lack of innovation at times shown by Voss who has coached well this season but I would have shuffled the team more looking to break the grip GWS had on the game in the second quarter.
