Bonar, in his first game,  had no trouble impacting and running out the game, but our kids like O'Brien didn't.   Either our kids are crap (a theory)  or the season has caught up with them and they're stuffed.

Assuming Weitering doesn't come up.

Play Kerr or De Konig from the square as a stay at home target to keep the defence honest and keep at least one defender deep.   Play a small at his feet to keep the FB nervous about spoiling.   Run Harry and Chuck higher up the ground, run their tall backs around and blow them up.    Schumacher and MacCreadie  wing/HB.  Maybe even Pickett in that role.

There's more run already.   Bugger o'shea off (5 disposals,  all clangers)  and we might even get the odd ball from defence without it coming back faster than it came out.

Give OBrien a week off.   Looks buggered and hence  ineffective. Tell Lang to get serious inside and replace Graham, who played the "is he even playing? " role on Sunday

That's three replacements already.

Somebody needs to clamp down on Neale and we can't let their half backs and running defenders have a party.. Polson,  Garlett, Wright should aim for a minimum of 6 stuck tackles each

Finally,  Play with some bloody intent.

Good pick up. Those of us watching here on the teev yesterday thought the same thing... from the very get go, and we just shook our heads.

Those 2 gimmie misses by Curnow and McKay in the first quarter set the scene. 15846 heads dropped in the stands (I’ll give GWS a couple of hundred supporters) and 22 on the field. A 5 to 1 first quarter should have been 5:3. Those misses were coach and crowd killers.

Spot on TC. I summarised it like this, they kicked them from everywhere, we missed from almost directly in front.

Concerned about LOB given his elite running background.   Only 68 percent game time and looking to have heavy legs from the start.   Recovery from the Suns game?

I suspect that he would have been out "managed" if we had anyone else.  I guess it's character building if you follow the "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger" line.

Collier-Dawkins, Hately, Valente or Smith  EB?

Hately might be ready made and matching it in the SANFL  but I wonder how much upside.  You thought his kicking was iffy as well.

Didn't Custer say that to his men at Little Big Horn? Or maybe it was "they'll never hit us at this ran..........". 

Nietzsche..the fascists favourite.

Actually some of his quotes are pretty relevant to our situation

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
