Need to put Cripps back into middle or Rockliff & Boak will simply destroy us.

McGovern needs to be in the front half rather than playing as a spare in defence. Can't save the game from 3 goals down. Rather go down by 10 goals having a go playing to a game plan than by 5 simply trying to limit damage.

If we need to pull a midfielder to play as a taller forward then perhaps use Setterfield, but I'd prefer to try Garlett up there and keep the hardness in the midfield.

Haven't minded Gibbons.......really throws himself around.

I hate playing Port at the start of the season.

Basically the entire +40 Port have in the disposal count is built around uncontested football. We're not running enough as a team (plenty of great individual efforts), but perhaps most importantly we've not got enough players running smartly in every phase of the game and the extra effort required to impact the play is sapping us dry.

Had we not been spraying our kicks deep into the 50 so much and overlapping to such an extreme, I suspect we'd have been more competitive in the 2nd quarter, and perhaps have scored more and conceded less in the first.

Phillips can't even halve the contest in the ruck. The fast clearances are so simple for them at the moment. Lycett is murdering him.
No he isn't.
Lycett hasn't done a great deal and you're acting like he's the 2019 version of Dean Cox.
