I am prepared to level the heat at certain players as we do pretty frequently, but it’s now at the point where our coaching panel led by Goodwin isn’t focusing in on the deficiencies. The players at this level will follow what they’ve been taught in pre season and with what our strategy is. They can’t help if we are stacked with inside midfielders.
We are now 1-4 and looking like a bottom 4 finisher. I’d not be confident against Carlton next week, a team we beat by 100+ last year. This simply has to be addressed. Who were the outside players we picked up in the draft period last year? We got our KPD which is great but we are still lacking so much power in the middle.
Right now picking Lewis is only holding us back. I’d rather have Stretch in purely to play outside or even Baker. I know we can’t help the Lever & May situation, but without a KPD we are going to get destroyed. We’ve got Richmond next week; Riewoldt and Lynch. One of those 2 will kick 6. I mean I feel sorry for Frost, he is what he is.
It’s also not helping that between Hore, Jetta and Hibberd that Hore is our best performing defender. So the only thing I can think of is to bring in Petty or Keilty, nothing else is working. We also need to bring back Stretch or pick Baker. We just need some speed. One or both of the Wagner’s has to go. And Spargo I’d keep purely because I am done with Garlett.
But whatever happens, Goodwin has to try something new. If I were him I’d be running with a faster side and looking at updating our KPD stocks.
