He's right over the past fortnight our midfield has been substantially weaker and Walsh trying to do too much and too demanding - not his fault just doesn't trust the players with him in the midfield past couple of weeks. Even looked weak in the midfield when Cerra was missing against Richmond round 14 and when he returned round 16 against the Saints he was short of match fitness - lost both games. Missing both Hewett and Kennedy in the midfield is hurting the team structurally in their clearance work. Need to build depth in this area.
A mate of mine and I were texting during the game, he suggested throwing around the fwds and defenders (ie swapping a few over). I replied saying you could put Jesus Christ fwd or back, if the mids dont win the footy or defend in the middle, it wont achieve anything. I think our mids a have been soundly beaten for 2 weeks in a row and most other games we have lost. I think their work rate has been well down.
