I think the Collingwood people voted with their feet last night: their lowest crowd at the MCG for a LONG time. I didn't see much of the game, but that looks to be a good thing. It was not a high standard contest.
At the moment what worries me is our centre square work: that has not been great. Brodie Grundy normally plays well against us, the exception being earlier this year when Kreuzer really got on top of him. Phillips is on the way back, but is still a work in progress. Then our mids have not been able to show the same result as they did early in the year: we haven't got a lot from our centre clearances since Murphy got injured.
The rest of our line-up is serviceable enough and has been more reliable than Collingwood's. But we really need to find something in the middle. If we can't then we will be flogged.
