Piss weak how we’ve just rolled over this quarter after a promising start. In the space of a quarter we’ve give from very competitive to barely competitive.

Looking like we will loose this very convincingly now.
 
This is blowing out.

Midfield a real issue and backline just nowhere near the level.
We’ve dominated hit-outs and certainly Sweet’s have looked like they should advantage us. The lack of talent and grunt in our midfield is killing this team. Narkle is a seagull. Sinn wasted at HB. The two little guys up forward unsighted.

Without Mead and Jackson playing in this midfield, it’s a non-entity.

Take out so far is its not healthy for Mitch Georgiades to be playing at sanfl level at this point.

Really need to find a spot for him in the AFL.
 
We could easily have McKenzie and Clurey down back but we gave 1 the week off and put the other on the wing.

I wonder if any of Williams, Sweet or Georgiades just get taken off at half time and we play with a man short, making us even less competitive.
 
The worrying thing is we’re not likely to bring in any onballers this draft either.

Committed to two wingers / flankers in burgs and Montgomery. NGA if we land him is a forward / flanker
We should still be prioritising drafting for young mids. Other teams bat 6-7 deep. With Wines approaching 30, our top end is elite but soon there will be very little behind it. Playing Sinn at HB is understandable to an extent to get him match fitness, but in the longterm we should prioritise him and Bergman becoming centre square mids.

Unfortunately everyone in our forward line is such an irreplaceable superstar that there's just no room for him.

Dante and Williams should both be off.

Was Mitch an emergency as well?

We have a tall forward line of semi-achievers. Not one of the three incumbents is a reliable match winner. They all do just enough on an inconsistent basis to tease us and to keep their spots, but none are, have been or possibly ever will be “champs”. I don’t know if Georgiades will be either tbh, but if fit, he shouldn’t be kept out of the AFL team just because Finlayson can stand and watch in the centresquare as a pretend “second” ruckman.
