I know I will probably catch a lot of criticism, but I agree.
I said prior to the game that for a pass from me he would need to work hard, lead, make second leads and work defensively.
Once again, our forwards were lazy. There is simply no work from them .
Jack is the only one that consistently leads and his effort in defence is second to none (even though he has difficulty making his tackles stick)
There were numerous times we had a mark 60-70m out from goal, the wide angle shot of the forward 50 comes up on screen and theres Jack running on a lead, and Casboult and McKay standing close to the goal square making no effort whatsoever. The ball is bombed in to a 5 on 10 situation, and there goes our forward 50 entry. Not good enough.
Well done to McKay kicking 4. He kicked very straight, and the banana was a spectacular looking kick.
I just think we need more effort from our forwards.

Dont get me wrong, I'm happy to finally have a big bloke in the side that can kick a ball through the middle 2 posts, but as we've both said many times, I want that bloke to workhis butt off to get the ball as well. It's the guy who works his butt off that will kick 50+ goals in a season, which is what you want from your go to guy.
Anyway, I guess we can just enjoy what McKay gives us and hope that by 50-75 games we are getting that effort from him.

I think that's the main thing, 4 goals makes it seem like a great game but I was there and he was pretty average. But he needs anything he can get to build some confidence and momentum in his game. I think we nailed it with Dow, looks really solid every week he is going to be a gun for us. Quitely impressed with O'Brien also think he has something.

I was actually quite surprised at how well H-Mac moved across the surface. Really damn quick and agile, and I must say although not receiving as much kudos as Cripps and H, A Phillips attacked the game, the ball and the player with such gusto that I was excited by his return and forgot Kreuzer was injured.

Really loved what Sauce brought to the table against a formidable duo in NicNat/Lycett.

Could we play Sauce and Kreuzer together? Kreuzer could be another mid around the stoppages and offer a bit of protection for Fish and Cripps. Fish and Cripps with Sauce and a side of Matty K sounds good

I dont see why not.
Most teams have at least 2 tall forwards and a ruck.
If Kreuz is playing as a midfielder, and rotating as such, why couldn't it work?
One of the 4 will pretty much always be on the bench. I know it wont happen, but I reckon it would be worth a try.

I wasn't there but I had the advantage of watching the game on the TV - and that often gives a better overall perspective than what one gets from their seat on level 1 or 2.

Harry made a few blues, the out of bounds on the full when Casboult had a ten metre break was a turning point in the game.  However, for a young bloke in his third game and playing against an All Australian defender, four goals is a magnificent achievement.  Add to that his six marks and three inside 50s and that's a performance worthy of a seasoned campaigner.  Harry wasn't "pretty average", he was pretty damn good.

If I'm forced to watch games on tv I usually hit mute, I think 99% of what they say is total crap

Because I usually start with the sound on, then turn it off when I get sick of it (usually about half way through the first quarter)
