I'm not blaming forwards and have spent a lot of time pointing out the good that is often missed by them.

However, when we have 3 of them who had 2 tackles between them, and were lower half of the pressure acts each.....you gotta start asking some questions.

If Motlop, Martin, Cunningham or Fogarty were available then they would be playing but they're not.

Our defenders didn't pay them enough respect. Weitering was giving Walker way too much space, if Adelaide were a better team hevwould have kicked 7 or 8.

We need to be educated by players and coaches in the current system.

Selwood taught me something last week that I had never heard or thought of before. Adelaide were coming back against Melbourne but the clock was working against them. With about 4 minutes left Selwood said Adelaide will have to "Something" tackle. (I forgot the word). He went on to explain it was like half tackling, they couldn't afford the dead balls. Deliberately not committing to a tackle to keep the ball moving so you have a chance of winning.

Fyfe’s hit on Fog did result in a broken wrist.  Can he still be cited for making contact with Fog’s hand with his shoulder?

I think they’re saying two weeks for Fog’s wrist but I suspect it will be longer.  We’ll miss his relentless pressure but it gives someone else an opportunity.

It's not a coincidence Fogarty came into the side 17 games ago.
