Bottom line we have no key forwards and when the side plays poorly like today we will invariably kick a low score. We are filling in with undersized players trying to hold down these positions. Before someone mentions Liam Jurrah despite his undoubted brilliance , he is not a key position player!
A few things took too long (in hindsight) .the writing was on the wall in the first 1/4 that north were smothering us through the middle.We came out in the 3rd 1/4 with obvious instructions to spread and run more which worked great, but these changes needed to be implemented earlier,by 1/2 time the margin was too great.

Good post Bruce far from our worst today.There were a couple of highly rated half backs who made shocking errors by hand and foot.We must have created a record for having our kicks and handballs smothered by the opposition yesterday.
Can't believe that Hille didn't try and work him over physically friday night.The way he just let him stroll out of the middle with the ball at the first bounce was unbelievably weak.I understand footy has moved on a lot but how do you reckon Carl Ditterich or John Nicholls would have handled the situation
Of course with Jurrah,Wonna,Sylvia and Watts missing, all possibly in our best forward line it was always going to be difficult to kick any sort of score. Bate (underdone) and Miller have never been big goal kickers.
