When you don't have any forwards in your side, there's a fair chance that their backs are just surrounding him waiting for us to bomb it and converge on him.

What he needs to do is LEAD at the guy with the ball.

Most of our marks inside 50 are pagans paddock style running back.

We don't know how to lead at the ball carrier.

I've also noticed that we never ever lead to the ball carrier. Waite was the last forward to do this regularly. How hard can it be ?

It is not those leading making the errors today, the delivery is unbelievably poor.
Goals for 2017

Play the most anti-social football in the AFL

I don't even know if I can watch this last quarter, feel physically sick at that last 5 minutes.

I felt physically sick at the footy last week.

Turns out it was gastro.

Was not a fun car ride home.....didn't make it.  :-[

And way too many of our ball carriers can't Fking kick to save themself.

Graham twice that quarter just needed to hit a 20 metre target and we get an easy shot at goal. Mucked both up.

Our kicking into F50 today is back to the malthouse days!

Another unpleasant quarter to watch.

They do look knackered though. Simpsons kick into the dogs player when we should've been going towards goal! So frustrating!

Let them have two easy ones at the end so dead quarter now

I'm not disputing our mids are not using it well.
When you have Kerridge and Graham as 2 of your best mids, you take what you can get.

But i'm not talking specifically about this week. We just don't lead properly, Casboult prefers to run and jump at the high ball as it leaves him closer to goal.
Charlie and Jack don't quite have the leg to take the ball around the 50.

Leaves us very 1-dimensional and adds to our forwardline issues.

my thoughts exactly, would have loved to have him still, as a player, and maybe to show some of our forwards technique .

I understand why Bolton is keen to play his flooding, keepings off style. But I simply don't agree with it.

Why are we the frigging team who ALWAYS plays other teams and payers back into form. F**ks me off no end for the last upteen years.

JJ has been targetting physically for the past month and has struggled with form big time.

So what do we do?

Try a different tactic and let him run loose on his own.  :-[

Putting him up forward early in the year hurt his confidence. Anyway, form is temporary, class is permanent. He'll be a good player for us for the next 10 years or more. Hopefully the class returns soon!

confidence is class. HE claimed he is a swingman. He likes that role.
I think he's playing hurt
