I am surprised we recruited Celine. She has a history of injury and has very few runs on the board. She isn't getting any younger and she doesn't seem to be improving. That is very ordinary. I don't see her on our list in 2 years: there are better, younger rucks going around these days.

Breann is also lacking input this year. Jess Good is doing more ruckwork, and she is quite good at it, but she doesn't have the same presence around the ground. Breann can, but it is appearing less and less these days.

I didn't mind the recruitement of Celine as valuable talls are hard to come by, and we were leaking some. So if between the twins and good, we needed to work out 1 forward, 1 back and 1 ruck, ideally.

Instead, Bree has been moved forward because she can play there, but we've sacrificed the ruck somewhat by playing Good there mostly.....and Celine is just taking up space and not really doing anything.....and not getting any better.

We need to make Bree #1 ruck. Have good playing from the goal square and swapping with Bree and send Celine back to the 2's.
Not sure if she is carrying any injuries, but her output cannot be persisted with.

Kept the cats goalless last week.
Couldn't kick a goal this week.

Missing Kez early ruined our already struggling backline.

Sorry to keep highlighting it, but Celine Moody, 63% game time. 2 hitouts, 1 kick, -8m gained.
Not good enough.

Celine is no Breann … and we’re not getting full value from Bree either.

I’d play Celine out of the goal square, give Breann more time on the ball and park Jess Good at CHF for decent periods.  Of course, none of that would amount to diddley squat if our midfield is ineffective.

We don't really have a good tagger.

I'd almost try and sit Vescio on Conti, but I don't think she has the tank, or the ability to stick a tackle, but at least is smart enough to cut off her run.

Otherwise maybe one of the Keeleys could do the job.

Celine Moody is almost non-existant yet again. In conditions like this, not sure why you'd persist with tall talent that goes missing.
Bree Moody is struggling to reach the heights she has previously, because they are tucking her away in the forward line a lot more.

Not sure who we could bring in, but surely couldn't be any worse.
