Now correct me if I'm wrong (and i might be) but have McGaune, Thursfield & Moore played a full game in the back line together this year?

One of the positives from last year was our settled young but maturing back 3. What has happened ???

i thought tonight they would be all together again, instead Moore is roaming around half fwd looking like a lost kid at the zoo.

round 1 was what happened, ever since the whole club has been in disohrey. this is proof of the structure of our side being stuffed and having 20 different game plans in place that none of the players can get a grip of. hopefully that will now all be behind us in the following years to come.
 
I fear for Rance. He cannot use the footy :duh

I suppose we now know why he fell in the draft order.

a bit like raines but i gotta say there is a lot more upside than downside to this kid. has plenty of time to improve and become an elite defender of the AFL.

Really nobody in our team bar one or two can use the footy!

I'm wondering how much of it is through total confusion with the game plan and hence no predictability as to where support will be to give off.

Even when we were stringing goals together in the 2nd term, it's not like our ball use was fluid moving down the ground. I wouldnt even describe it as organised chaos! It nail biting stuff watching us move the ball!
 
Surely Mcgaune, Thirsty, Moore, Rance play in the back 6 now for the rest of the season no matter what happens. i like how tambling is playing off the HB line as well, maybe this is wher he can shine?

Agree. Been saying this for a while. The guy has no awarness about him and his disposal is average at best. 3rd quarter he touched the ball 3 times in 5 minutes and each touch was a turn over.
Can't kick and can't hand ball.
Another poor recruitment
