I am guessing perceived pressure for the fumbles but that's the problem right there .... its the mindset of being the hunter rather than being hunted .... all day it felt like the Hawks were hunting us rather than us hunting them The players mindset has to change .... they aren't playing like we hav...

Dow, Jones, Sharman ... all in

Hastie Garcia Membrey ... out

Sharman to play forward and fkn leave him there ... can't be any worse than Membrey was today

The other 2 changes are no brainers for midfield grunt

He got charged and fined

There was contact ... head high elbow contact

Dow must come in ... Jones as well ... at least they give us some grunt around the stoppages ... Clark too once he is ready to go .... and Crouch (if his knee isn't fkd)

Desire and wanting/hunting the ball ... supercedes weight

The way Moore / Day / Newcombe attacked the ball and gave maximum 2nd and 3rd efforts ..... that's what you want ..... and it's what we don't have

Or maybe our forwards or players forward of the Marshall ruck contest anticipate what he might do and actually play in front

So many times were caught behind today

We had no effective small forward today

Missing Higgins much?

It seems like we have no faith in the forwardline to lock it in when it gets down there so we aren't prepared to take many risks out of the backline and push up There was close to no run through the middle today ... we played safe risk free footy and paid the price ... scared that their mosquito fle...

Won nearly every stat except free kicks and final score.

Inside 50's 52 to 44.

The downfield free was a disgrace

But it wasn't why we lost the game

Time to stop playing the 1st year players (Wilson the exception)

They hunted the ball and wanted it more

Enough with the 18yo experiment

Time to play our best team

Disgraceful all day

Horror loss

Disgraceful all day

Hayes off for Pston .... so we go smaller

Except for Wilson I think we have seen enough of the 18yos

Time to get in Dow / Jones ..... just any experience

Our only way forward is either a 40m kick backwards to switch it or a bomb down the line

We have no movement through the middle of the ground

Think we have seen enough of the Garcia-Hastie show for the time being

Bring on Paton for one of them

Playing badly but only 10pts down

Still in it

Our connection with our forwards is non existent

These 40m backward kicks are doing my nut in

We are really struggling to link up through the middle of the ground

What happened to minimum "Medium Impact" for any head high hit bumps .... King & Windhager What happened to "potential to cause injury" ... Ben Long would have got 3 weeks The fact that Newman used his elbow made it even worse... he actually moved it away from his body MRO / ...

We should run over the top of them comfortably

So if the Schoonerskuller debuts that's all our draft picks from last year playing at senior level ... all by R9

Not sure any other club has managed this so far this year
