I think Howes and Adam are on the edge of experiencing the blues. Expectations, uncertainty, knowledge of what it takes, living up to that, and the associated anxiety.

Adams (though hasn't had a game at AFL level) looks great at times, powerful and confident, expressing leadership qualities and then he has drops in confidence.

Howes has regularly been having errors of handling and disposal in sims and drills. He is moving very smoothly and getting opportunities with the ball. I wonder, what is going on?

Hope, as you say the coaches get around them and are clear in explaining roles and what they need to work on.

They should play Howes as a med forward .

I think it’s more about using the personnel we have better. We need to be using Bowey, Windsor, McVee, Salem, Langford and Lindsay (when he plays) as much as we can linking up and delivering inside 50. Clarry, Vines, Sparrow and Trac are all great ball winners but not as great on the ball use. They need to be getting it into these guys hands.

I always find myself yelling at the TV saying GIVE it to KOSSIE FFS , or at least direct it to his general direction . They all need to work harder to protect the ball carrier . this would imo reduce  turnovers .
