Watching the replay when I got home. The first quarter wasn't that bad.
[1] Big Goetz was useful, except that he didn't know his teammates. It was very clear that he didn't know where our guys were running to when he got a tap.
[2] Cooper Stephens reminds me more and more of Nick Duigan. He was very good early.
[3] Crocker could have been a matchwinner, but we had no idea how to create a leading lane for him.
[4] Inside mids: we were ordinary in this area. We really didn't have much drive from the middle.
Live Long and Prosper!

I think the comparison between Bower and Williamson is a bit unfair. Bower was chosen Pick 20 as a key defender while Williamson was Pick 61 and was always a back flank/wing. Williamson is probably above average for a Pick 61 and Bower below for a Pick 20.

Didn't they play LoB as a tagger on Wilson?

LoB isn't an inside mid, and Wilson is about as in and under as they get, maybe they are giving LoB some lessons but I doubt you can greatly change a player's fundamentals in that extreme way.
Played a few roles and the negative stuff he does means he doesnt get much ball, look I'm not a LOB apologist but he isnt being coached with his career in mind and its more about where he can be used more for the teams sake.
If he is going to make it its going to be as an Andrew Gaff type on a wing running free, not responsible for a man and not tagging or being used in any inside role...

Agreed, I do not understand when we bring a guy like Setterfield in and play him on the wing, LoB is virtually a wing specialist. The club can't hedge it's bets 100% of time, and I thought it was clear on the weekend player lift when you play them in their best position.

It's unfair to the players treated this way.

Same size.
Same agility/speed.
Same hunger for the contest.
Same brain fades.
Same akward handballing style.
Same back injuries.

Bower was an U18's AA CHB.....but was never really a CHB at AFL level.

I'm not trying to be cruel to Williamson, i just see similar traits. Willo has done well to play as many games as he has for the pick he was taken....but in terms of output. I see a bower clone.
