Reckon we had a plan but wasn’t executed. Either one of Williams or kemp were given the task on zorko but didn’t perform it.
maybe Cinc would’ve been better but his form was not fantastic of late

I don't fully agree with this.
Hewett played a great four quarter game, it's not his fault we had so many passengers.
He was deserving and extremely stiff imo.
I'm going to say that the plan wasn't executed because it was ill-founded
It seems insane to me that we would rely on Williams and Kemp to do that job though. A big part of the reason they were moved forward in the first place was because they weren't reliable enough in defence. Cincotta's form wasn't great but I can't imagine why he wouldn't be picked before several others. Williams and Durdin were clearly cooked and Cerra only managed to get 66% TOG as a midfielder in 4 quarters. Kennedy managed 29% TOG and he was subbed off quite early in the game.
The answer would be no

Well it wasn't Kempy.
You don’t think either those two were up to the task?
No, I do not think any of Kemp, Williams, Motlop, Durdin or Fantasia were up to minding the All Australian half-back.

The serious change needs to be in the team that runs out week after week.
Well then throw Cinc in there too if you think neither of Williams or Kemp, but mainly Williams, both of whom spent a crap load of time in defence, couldn’t lock zerko down

It's weird, he was being bold but... in the wrong direction, if that makes sense. I would have preferred the 'bold' of backing a few of the young guys like Lord and Moir than hoping like all hell some of the rushed back guys would hold up, let alone perform well.

expecting Williams to lockdown zorko is not insane

I dunno, don't have much faith in him in defense these days. For mine he's forward of center always.
What?
They’re completely different players. Just because Kemp and Williams, neither of whom were set for Zorko, have played in defence before doesn’t mean they’re good match ups as a defensive forward on an All Australian half back flank, for what is arguably the most important match up in the game.
Cincotta has cut up players like Tom Stewart this year playing that role.
When I say that I expect him to lock zorko down it’s based on two things- he is a professional footballer with significant experience in defence, and we pay him a crap load.
I agree as I have also lost confidence in him but having said all that, I don’t think it would’ve been a ridiculous ask of Williams to play that lockdown role, to sacrifice his own game, especially early when zorko was running freely
Who has Williams done a good lock-down role on?
cinc in taht form yes, but he wasn’t playing with taht form towards the end
Seriously do not think it a big ask for Williams in particular to lockdown zorko
Yes.
When has he done it?
He got shifted out of defence because he was struggling, and did well forward as an attacking player.
And if you’re going to be critical of Cincotta’s form, how was Williams’ form?
Was he shit in defence every time he played there?
Idk- Michael Walters in gather round comes to mind
Cinc’s form definitely peaked in July like most of his teammates but if I’m picking someone to tag Zorko out of Fanta, Motts, Durds, Williams then I’ll take him any day of the week
Had abit of time to calm down and collect my thoughts.
I'm absolutely filthy and disgusted that we went 0-60, like seriously, i am so ashamed, absolutely disgraceful and a massive stain to our club, and a big fat f you to our supporters.
I feel sorry for all those supporters who went to Brisbane, all the supporters who throw away their money for club membership and waste every weekend on this club. If anyone is seriously considering buying a membership after that horrendous year, well my friend, you are nothing but a stooge.
This game will have broke whatever was left that resembled a team, its time to do the smart thing, rebuild the list before we spend another decade in purgatory. We all know it's true, the ones refuse yo believe it, know deep down it's true.

He wasn’t shit, but he certainly wasn’t great.
Holding a small forward who averaged a goal a game this year to 1 goal doesn’t really compare to an All Australian half back, who would be in the top 2 most important players in the opposition.
