Really???
Pittonet, Cripps, Cerra and Walsh got their butts kicked in that time. That was the ball game.
I'm not blaming the small forwards, I'm blaming the mc.
They are what they are and they do what they do.
When you have 4 of them, it limits your options instantly to make moves.
The ball didnt go forward so it meant that we had 6 players who were out of the game and couldn't change things around to get them into the game.
4 small forwards were stuck there or on the bench.
Harry and Kemp had no influence either, but at least Harry could go in the ruck. Kemp could go back if required.
The others.....nowhere.
As I said pregame....
Cincotta kicks as many goals as our small forwards (when played forward, even defensively) but he can be played elsewhere as well.
Rotate him through the middle. Put him down back.
We lacked versatility from our small forwards and it hamstrung us.
