Newley and Colyer were part of a midfield that got smashed by south freo. I am willing to concede peel were playing a first gamer as no. 1 ruck but the clearance work was an embarrassment

Our old jumper is so slick.
The issue with Cam is lack of effort and discipline.
Lyon strength is both.
Cam is the problem not Lyon.
if your midfield gets smashed, the forwards can’t kick goals.
We need to strengthen the midfield to allow Fyfe and Walters play more forward.
I think the issue is the back line.
Pearce,Logan,Wilson, Hamling and Ryan are very solid but the two remaining defenders are not up to it at the moment.
If we can either develop Duiman, Carter and Hughes into AFL standar, then it allows Blakely and Cerra to the play midfield.
Duman is the man IMO, think he has a really really bright future.
I’m in two minds about him.
That mistake last week cost us making a final.
Is he dumb or inexperienced?
IMO we were never going to make finals regardless of the Saints game. It would have required us to win 4 in a row and 5 out of 6 games, the list and game style we are deploying was never going to be good enough to go on that type of run. But that's just my opinion and of course mathematically we were a chance but to say his mistake cost us making a final is a huge leap.
I was at the game sitting in level 3 and haven't bothered getting round to watching the replay so not fully aware of the particulars when it comes to that play however he does look like he has something. His coverage and movements in general look right unlike someone like Blakely who just looks completely lost at the moment.
I'm firmly in the Duman corner right now.

Had we beaten St Kilda we would’ve been 9th. Never in the mix? Please. That’s a defeatist style.
Duman needs to muscle up, he won’t last in AFL playing his role. He either plays as an intercepting key defender or a spare defender. He’s not going to last at his height with that body shape. Small forwards kill him, big forwards are too strong for him atm
I still don't think we would have made finals regardless, call it what you want I think it was pie in the sky type stuff.
I was just right of the Freo cheer squad.
Duiman left Stevens and the ball came to ground and Steven with no pressure kicked to a leading player.
If Duiman stayed with Stevens, this wouldn’t happen.
Do I expect Duiman to make mental mistakes? Yes
When young guys makes mistakes, it can be inexperienced or they are dumb. Only time will tell.
I agree, Blakely was more disappointing. I expect less mental mistakes when you had 5 pre seasons.

Understand that he is inexperienced but they should be drilled by a good backline coach on what not to do, i.e. 5 guys fly for the same ball week after week and leave someone over the back to swoop, Hughes panicks and kicks OOTF to hand shots to the opposition instead of feigning to keep it in or tackled going out of bounds, Blakely in 2 games not following his player to a cruical forward contest.
It’s not out of the possibility that we beat Essendon at Home and get a win against port away.
Agree however personally I never saw it happening. It was the same prior to the Bulldogs game, everyone talking up finals when we don't have the team to be winning 4 in a row or 5/6. The game style we are playing and the young list takes its toll quick.
It’s one of major frustrations is the ball watching. Duiman isn’t alone on that.
That’s one of my major criticism of Lyon, is that I don’t see the team understanding the concept of seeing both ball and man.
Is it the players fault or are they not being taught?
I dunno about pie in the sky given Essendon's form and Port being as flaky as a jesters pie.
Not that we would have gone in favourites in Adelaide, but had we have beaten St Kilda finals were a realistic aim.

okay had a think this is what should happen
Move conca from that defensive wing role to the backline we need the leadship there.
Mundy takes his place on the wing cause i love his kicking and i like hill as that half forward (who doesnt stay their) as that link player.
Cerra forward.
As cerra is shorter than mundy replace shultz with sturt to help out the height.
This balances up the young backline whilst not taking away from the other positions on the field.

It’s gonna be a nostalgic night with the farewells and the retro jumper. Those changes are fine for what the game is about. The season is cooked so let’s just enjoy the occasion and send off some club greats with a win.

Unfortunately it was well more than one mistake. His game was littered with them. No idea how or why he makes it this week.
