That's a pretty decent list.
Once that midfield hums along together in sync, it will be pretty good I reckon. Still not sure about Whiley but I will hold off judgement until he gets a decent crack at it.

Delivery into the forward 50 must improve if we are to kick more than 6 goals a game. Deplorable.
I still have a huge concern.
We look at the forward performance last week and say...."yep, it was poor but wait until we get our full midfield back and it will be a different story."
But really, even fully fit, that's not a significantly better mid-field than we played for most of last year and that did little for our forward performance.
Our top goalkickers last year were
1 Andrejs Everitt 31
2 Levi Casboult 24
3 Tom Bell 17
4 Lachlan Henderson 16
5 Dennis Armfield 13
5 Troy Menzel 13
7 Andrew Walker 12
8 Zach Tuohy 9
8 Matthew Kreuzer 9
10 Marc Murphy 7
10 Liam Jones 7
Bell, Henderson and Menzel are gone....There's going to have to be a massive step up by more than one forward to make a significant difference to our scoring power.

Clarkson would say "3 soldiers fall over, 3 others stand up". Thats what BB will tell them I reckon.

Is the problem of poor performance in the F50 one of our mids being incapable of good delivery or one of our forwards not creating anything to deliver it to, or being incapable of doing much if it is delivered to them, or a combination of all these things (plus more!)? I'll be very interested to see if we try anything different v. the Swans.
Reality always wins in the end.
