Weitering, Byrne, Murphy, Thomas and Petrevski-Seton all have good foot skills but after that you struggle, we just cough it up far too much.
The best we looked all day was a couple of chains in play that saw SPS and Weitering sending the ball inside F50 to hit a target. I realise in Weitering's case it was only a few seconds from a whole game, but compare that disposal to the day Marchbank or Simmo had! Unfortunately for us, the wrong people are getting the ball at the end of the chain. We need blokes like SPS and Weitering behind the play using the ball to enter F50, not receiving it in F50 or handing it off to the likes of Ed Curnow or Simpson to use going forward.
I thought Thomas was a again good today, effort all over the ground, a four quarter effort, he just can't be everywhere. Not as much ball as last week, but didn't do much wrong on a day when wrong was normal.
