Slow midfield

Might help our centre clearances if our ruckman could actually tap it to our advantage every once in a while. Nank is a terrible ruckman. Love his desire and effort but in reality he is a backup ruckman.

He is defintely a terrible ruckman. A loveable trier but thats not his job. Far too easy for the unwashed to go and blame Dusty instead.
 
This thread was created 5 ears too early but its spot on right now.

Our midfield is one paced.

Apart from Bolton we have no one who can transition out of the centre with pace.

Prestia was elite in transitioning from inside to outside but he is now a geriatric.

The Tarranto/Hopper combo is a disaster.

If you look at the numbers Tarranto on his own is a raging sucess but pair together we are doomed.

A big issue looms for Yze on how he deals with this.

We are slow and our skills by hand and foot are well below the required standard.
Need to rebuild the list which will take time.
Fortunately we now have the right coaching brigade in place to take us forward.

Wasn't Bakes supposed to play there now? Didn't notice it last night.

Watching McAuliffe from yesterday, we need to get this kid into our senior midfield as quickly as possible.

Agreed Drof he wins the footy, has intent in his play and has separation speed at the contest from what very little I've seen on footage

Absolutely. Heā€™s got senior AFL midfielder written all over him. Professional, hard runner, tough, works both ways. Kicks ok as well. Itā€™s really improved from his junior days.

Yze needs to shelve the Bolton Forward idea.

Hes the only game breaker we can run through the centre.

I will select Dusty and noone else.
Prestia needs a wake up call send him to the 2's
Hopper is badly out of touch. Perfect conditions last night, played like the ground was flooded
Graham injured should see him back by round 22 just before he goes to Fremantle

Prestia needs a wake up call into the 2s!!! Before the season has even started you reckon? šŸ˜…šŸ˜…
 
Rubbish!
Players don't run with the footy to the goal line!
Can have 8 Insane Bolts playing in the midfield, we would still be labelled slow!
The players move the footy to the goal line by kicking and handball!
Our midfield set up is sheet!
