I'm not disagreeing, it's just that midfield rotation you've named might actually look like their going backwards they're so slow...and they won't run out an entire matchTouk, Swallow, Flanders, Fiorini + Brodie might actually get to play as a mid rather than at half forward
I think your bias is showing.BF was good all day.41 disposals btw which is probably close to the Club record.The team scored 1.4 in the last half.The whole team was ineffective.Fiorini had 37 today but I thought he was hugely ineffective, so he isn't the answer, maybe a run of games for Brodie but bet that doesn't happen either
Only 250 metres gained and 6 score involvements, alot of sideways kicks or hack kicks forward. He can find the ball no doubt and is working harder without the baller which has been pleasing but I don't think he is doing enough with it. He doesn't have the footskills to take off an aggressive kick so plays it safe and too predictable by foot.I think your bias is showing.BF was good all day.41 disposals btw which is probably close to the Club record.The team scored 1.4 in the last half.The whole team was ineffective.

Sharp on the other hand might make more mistakes but tries to get the ball moving quickly and tries to get this aggressive kicks going. Just want to see a bit of fire in Brayden's belly because I don't see that from him
Tom Mitchell is a much cleaner user of the footy then Brayden though, or at least a better decision maker, that's where the differences is. Brayden isn't going to win the contested ball ie Touk, Rowell, he is the clearing hands out of the pack but he just makes some silly mistakes. Not trying to single him out as the whole team made poor mistake after poor mistake but for someone that can get the ball 41 times there needs to be better decisions made with that ball. His disposal efficiency looks okay because he kicks it long down the line which is a effective kick or sideways alot but in and around the pack he missed to many easy Handballs, although Touk did a lot of it today as well.All reasonable comments
But I would never expect him to gain more than 3 or 400m.That's not his game.If I'm Sharp Lukosius Sexton Rankine Ellis Markov Weller I'm sweating off the back of him because he is in rugby terms a 5/8th passing off the ball.There has to be a place for the guy in the team.Tom Mitchell won a Brownlow with exactly the same playing style

Im just frustrated with the level of talent in this squad that effort and simple skill execution is STILL a problem

Props to Brayden Fiorini today -just kept at it
Rankine sadly-because I love his style- is the player who is at the top of my list for some VFL time
The difference between Izak and Connor Rozee-wow
Not sure sending Rowell or Anderson back to VFL will sharpen them up in anyway for their job-although maybe just let them get leather poisoning for a game or two
He led the team in contested possessions, 2nd in clearances, =3rd in tackles
he has 1 more turnover than Rowell and 27 more possessions.
he had 1 less turnover than Touk.
Based on turnovers he had one of the best possession retention rates of all suns mids.
Yes his skill execution needs to get better. But so do so many on our team. Even mentioning him amongst the players who needed to do more today is joke. The man had 41 touches
I meant more the hard ground ball, getting a handball receive in traffic is counted as a contested possession, but alas I'm in the minority here so I'll stop stop argumentHe led the team in contested possessions, 2nd in clearances, =3rd in tackles

Im so scarred from this team that all im thinking right now is how will we fu** this up in the 2nd half
Ainsworth, Corbett, Sexton, Fiorini all got dropped and did their time and generally came back stronger. Nobody should be immune. It’s clear that Rowell is trying with his pressure (though he needs to learn how to make an attempt without genuinely attempting and getting pinged), but Anderson is underdone in a big way. Both could use a rest or a game of VFL for a week. It won’t happen, but it should. Rankine too. All three need some confidence which playing against AFL players will not give them. Rankine has been down for most of the season. Anderson for half of it.
Jeffery should get a chance. Unfortunately, with Weller, Ellis and now Markov out we have lost our outside run (besides Sharp) so not sure there is much to change there.
No it was Big Red Machine !!Oh no, so you’re the reason we lost

Missed the game got to watch the last quarter, watching Powell kick it into mcstay ah seriously.
Pretty bad way to lose, not acceptable anywhere. Players dropped their heads, got Melbourne next week so somehow have to get up for it. Jeffery comes in for NT game, you can’t drop fiorini. 41 touches is massive
It was actually Swallow who kicked it into McStay. Rankine, Graham, Markov out… Let’s give Moyle, McLennan and Rosas a run.

Jeffery should get in over any of them. Moyle and Rosas a maybe, but both need more development IMO, or McPherson as a replacement I guess. McLennan has not shown enough unfortunately. I want to be proven wrong though.
A few players will have the blowtorch, but I’m expecting two changes (one forced with injury) as per usual.
