Their entire back half is missing and we haven't taken a single mark inside 50.
It's going to be a very long season fellas.
As I have said many times, our primary problems are not the forwards, not the ruckmen, not the 200cm types, it has never been the 200cm types not when it was Hammer, SpecialK, Casboult, Rowe and others who were inside F50. Our main problem has been, and will continue to be, use of the ball which remains abhorrent compared to other AFL teams. Not just from a kicking accuracy perspective but from a decision making perspective as well.
We have been, we still appear to be, and are likely to remain in the near future, the worst users of the ball in the competition. Our very best stand out in our team, but our best are very average when compared to other clubs.
