You do realise the teams from last year are readily available online and proving you are wrong took me 30 seconds.The game wasn't lost on Thursday night at all. There's nobody in the VFL that would have provided enough for us to win last night, if Sweet comes in and Buku comes out, who's to say other parts of the game aren't impacted.
Sure, we know we didn't win and Sweet didn't play but last year we played the Cats we had the two tall forwards, two tall defenders, and a ruck set up and we lost that game too (which is the set up many are begging for).
Last year we did the same thing. Going into the Geelong game. We dropped Martin and only played a single ruck.
The only thing that saved us last year was selecting two capable key forwards in Bruce and Naughton and having Wallis able to come in as the medical sub when Naughts went down.
Nonetheless, Stuart shat all over us last year. If we had just played two rucks and three legitimate forwards, we would have had the flexibility to send English forward and the height to make something of our inside 50 dominance.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. And yes, I know we played Hannan last year. He goes into the same McSpud category as all of the rest of the VFLers that get gifted games over and over again instead of playing the actual tall forwards on our list.
