Not really, a lot of the stats the boys are playing to we are winning. It's the skill errors and occasional lack of pressure that have burnt us.
I admire your faith but we all know the players would have wilted to a slightly more capable team when we conceded the first goal in the third. I mean we did it against Richmond!!! When the pressure comes our players will go to water. Don’t get me wrong I’m happy they won but they need to beat North, Geelong, Adelaide and St Kilda before I have any confidence in the players being capable of delivering consistently enough to be a good football team. I suspect we’ll stumble at the first hurdle.
 
Always thought he looked more of a mid and he is. Point of difference in there with his agility, clean skills and run. More rotations, we are nearly getting the hang of it.
Agree. Durdin as well

Love to see midfield if Cripps Hewett Cerra lord supported by Motlop & Durdin

Walsh on a wing

Gives us some run and leg speed we need

This is what really sh1ts me

McGovern can really play. Today showed it.

Issue is it shouldn’t be conditional. That effort should be every week from someone as experienced as him
It’s true but he also isn’t a leader and imo is similar to someone like Daniher. If we get things right guys like that can still shine but will always be abit of a passenger.
Gov playing like today transforms the side abit.

He cannot defend. Again today showed it. How many times did he miss a punch or lose his man and cost us - 4 times? Offensive under no pressure - sure, but even I can kick to advantage under these circumstances. He costs us in big games against quality team.

I would send him for forward

Wasn't a hell of a lot to like about the game today. It was ugly and very sloppy but it was a win.

I did like that they used Charlie up the ground and created mis matches deep in defence (WCE defence). That was a credit to the coaching staff. Long overdue to see us use something different mid game.

Great to see Durdin back, Carroll started well and Lord was good.
White shows a bit of promise as well.
I thought Motlop showed some good signs around the ground. Once he bags a few goals his confidence will increase.
 
Durds was great.

Carroll will be great.

I hope we don’t drop White.

Walsh, Cez and Hewett monstered there 18 year old midfield. First time Saad has been allowed to do whatever he wanted. If we knew how to finish our work, we would have lapped them.

Not sure I'd want Reid if he was available. Seemed to have checked out 10 minutes into the game.

Sad about Kempy. And poor H.
 
It's okay, we'll just put JSOS up there.
I'd leave JSOS back there. He's a rock back there. Almost as impossible to get past as Weiters is.

Harry out with the concussion protocol opens the door for Lemmey. I'd bring him in and let him play as a forward/ruck. Moir for Kemp is a no brainer I reckon. Outside of those changes, I would maybe bring in L. Camporeale for Doc. While Doc has been improving over the last couple of weeks, he's definitely lost a yard and a half of pace and he's panicking a lot more these days.

He is a flat track bully. When the slightest pressure comes he goes to water. Sadly he has lots of friends at the club at the moment.
