You are right, the midfield is our rotten core. Just not up to the job and needs clearing out. Just does not have the skills needed for today's footy, and it's not very smart. Very exposed tonight and was a complete embarrassment with its blundering and turnovers.
Midfield is were it the sh1t flows from.
We have not enough with heart / toughness / determination / skill to take the game on. (Well except Judd, but he is on the wrong side of 30).
Tonight too many stood flat footed, not enough are skilled enough to keep the footy , not enough applied pressure for 5 minutes let alone four quarters , no one was willing take the game by the scruff and give it good old shake, the ruck stocks seriously look seriously stupid.
I look at the competition and I am gob smacked by our ability to still draft one way skirts.
Melbourne will give themselves a chance next week, as I reckon we'd just be able to roll Peel Thunder right now ..
