Nope and it's probably my only critique of Clarko's game plan. We play them forward to roll 1-2 extra up to the stoppage (where we should theoretically be strongest).

We've been killed by:


Bailey Dale
Rory Laird
Riley Bice
Joel Jeffrey & John Noble

In 4 out of our 5 losses, an oppo half back has been instrumental. I think this is a direct consequence of how many half forwards we roll up to the stoppage.
Don't want to make this all about Zurhaar but ...
 
It's not. Love em but it's been Jy and Sheez predominantly. They put their most offensive half back on our midfielder, knowing that they're gonna follow the stoppages around.
Bailey Dale was on Zurhaar.

Honestly I haven't really watched any of the other games to check who was playing on who acros the HFF but its been a consistent thing for years with Cam - oppo half backs (especially Bulldogs ones) cutting us up.

He started the game on Sheezel (who took the first mark of the match out in front of him) and definitely started the second quarter on Jy. That's from memory when I was going through the replay a while ago. Can't speak for the third and fourth quarters but I can't see why they'd put their most attacking defender on our third tall forward instead of just sagging him off the stoppage extra.

Because he doesn't chase at all.
 
This rebuild should be built around making Jamara into a 80 goal a year Forward

We don’t need a rebuild, our list has enough talent. This is a coaching issue.

If this list was in the hands of the Pies system we would play final.

This is spot on. Beaten by a decent HBF, a dinosaur ex-midfielder and three no names.. Can’t wait to see what Stewart, Houston and Ryan do to us..

Our game plan of having more troops around the ball to win stoppages isn’t working and even if it does we just bomb it long to Larkey & Darling who have now have four defenders on them.

I think our current game plan is our biggest problem.

This is just so far off, respectfully.

We have some mids with talent ball in hands who can occasionally go on a stoppage run.
Larkey kicks goals. Curtis is gifted. No genuine small forwards. No key depth at all despite this being an issue for YEARS.

Wings suck, backline is generationally bad.
 
Thought to ponder, would’ve Richmond stood by a TT, like they’ve done Balta?
If he was suspended for 18 weeks after playing so little footy on such good money in the previous two years?

I dunno. There is a difference in how people see violence against men vs violence against women.

Just maybe balta is remosefull and he also pleaded guilty so it it leat owning his actions. He was also impared judgement wise. No its not an excuse but plenty of people after drinking make poor judgement calls.

The other bloke went along to councel8ng and ignored it and kept behaving the same.way.

Just my opinion but I think we are probably 3-4 seasons from being a consistently good side assuming this group stays together. Our 26+ age range players is diabolical and history kinda shows most players need 80-100 games to hit there stride.

If we can't hold Gorgeous George, we'll be kicking that down the road even further.
 
2019: Bring in Rawlings, trade out of the 2019 draft and into 2020
2020: Delist or trade almost every experienced player at the club
2021-24: :(
2025: Decide we just don't have the cattle
