Boots and all

Could see that coming half way through the third. Boys tried hard but ultimately couldn't put it away with only two goals in the second half. We are in dire need of another key forward to play with JVR. Petty played well overall but he is unable to convert set shots.

Why leave the sub until so late.

So 12th or 5th boys.

Geez. Just kick one. We only need one.

We need some run. Has the sub come on yet?

Haha...Bt's description of Kossie's goal was deplorable.

Unbelievable, Kozzie...you are a star!!

Cmkn Harry

Brisbane lifting a bit.

That was lucky...should have been a lions goal.

Wonderful kick Kossie!!

Lingers has been quiet.

An early goal or two would be super.

...so important, really hope this continues.

OMG

A little from Column A and a little from Column B, Praha?

Yeah, I don't doubt that he has been beaten taggers. The initial point I was agreeing to still stands I.e. a run-with role on Neale.

He has broken plenty of tags in the past so I think there are other factors at play. Moving him to a run with role on Neale would give him added accountability and I can bet he will still pick up the same number of possies as recent weeks.

I like this idea. Give Clarry a role other than just chalking up possessions. Unlike many, I think Clarrie's poor form is mostly above the shoulders, this may be a way of getting him involved and back in form.

I find that the Dees ability to arrest momentum has fallen away markedly. Despite playing better recently, even the lowly The tin-rattlers were sadly able to get on runs making us look second rate at times. I'm sure there is a strategy to curtail momentum but we either don't have the experience across the ground to implement it effectively or the strategy isn't working.

...surely the Blues are a shot too.

I guess Fullarton is worth rolling the dice on, though I'm aware that he hasn't been in great form either. If confidence in his body is the problem, Petty may regain that confidence more quickly in the VFL. Since he's picked though, I hope he takes 15 marks and kicks 5.

...and adding to that having high workrate tackling forwards to lock the ball in the 50.

Yes. Less minutes for McVee and Windsor. It will probably fail, but I think part of the reason the midfield depth is lacking is due to lack of exposure. I think it's worth taking some risks, especially given our current situation.

I'd really like to see some others players get some more exposure in the midfield now that Trac is out and Viney and Oliver are out of form. I'd love to see Rivers, Windsor, ANB and McVee get more midfield time. I think our season may be shot and we lack depth in this area so it would be great to see how some of these players perform with decent minutes in there.
