With regard to our on-field issues, our inability to kick a winning score is critical.
I realise that it's robbing Peter, and I'm sure that it will never happen, but I feel that we need to move Robbie into attack. Ben needs a second genuine marking threat to become potent again, and I don't believe that Jack (maybe a good third forward if he was accurate) or Mason can play that role.
We can't have all four players as forwards, so I'd keep Mason whilst he's showing enough endeavour and desire, reverting to a third marking forward role. Jack would have to find another role, or be dropped; as I said, it will never happen. BMac would come into the side when he's fit, and given a good run of games to hopefully find his feet.
It's not the only change needed. We need a game plan that can't be picked apart by a five year old, we need our midfield to consistently at least break even, (almost) all the players need to work harder than they're doing now, we need to play the pressure game, that we had against Adelaide, for every minute of every quarter, and we somehow need to be able to hit a target going forward.
I expect massive disagreement for a multitude of reasons. But also tell me if you think that our attack can consistently kick a winning score, and if you don't think it can, what things you would do to address the issues. It's all fantasy of course, because there cannot be any alternative to Brad's Plan A.
