Defence has struggled not comfortable one on one at all (remember the criticism Port got for same thing), not doom and gloom bit of wake up call. When was last time we beat Brisbane at Gabba so not unexpected, and all the pressure on the Bris Forwards they were always going to fire, we do need to sort out the ruck it didn't work at all

Not overly concerned, but the ruck situation needs to be sorted. Can’t go in with McStay as a first ruck.
Do we play Steene, I doubt it.
hate to harp on about it, but Moore should have been at the very least given 10 minutes in there after halftime to see what he could do.

Murphy was already on the ground, who would you replace Murphy with?
We kicked 11 goals 17 points. we didn’t lose the game because we didn’t play Frampton in the ruck
toxic

Is it embarrassing being a one week critic
Could have been the same story against Cats
Naicos should have kicked 4 tonight along with his 38 possessions
blessed to have him for the next 10-15 years

A lot of players down tonight but IQ will be a liability in big games moving forward. Fumbles too many times and seems to lack footy IQ.

We kicked 11 goals 17 points. We didn’t lose the game because we didn’t play Moore in the ruck and replace him in the backline with Ruscoe.

Could have played Markov on the ground front the start. Or Ruscoe. Or plenty of other options to play as a mid sized back.
We definitely lost because of the ruck IMO. Which in turn meant our mids were all at sea for the whole game.

Poor effort - too many passengers, IQ & Adams being two examples.
I thought our disposal skills tonight were terrible, that's if we could get a hold of it in the first place.
In the second half IQ looked like he didn't want to take possession because of the way he was fumbling.
Regroup for next week.

any chance of winning was gone because time was up, not because of that incident
markov was poor, deal with it
Good to burst the media bubble that had been building about how much better we were than everyone else. It was always nonsense and we needed a reality check.
Geez we need Cox Cameron and Krueger back asap, so that McStay and Johnson can restore our forward structure.

Brayshaw mentions their great record against us but we play them on their home patch every bloody year. Last two games against them we've been hamstrung by injuries.
Damn shame we don’t play them at MCG
Completely agree. That 2nd qtr was so uncharacteristic of us and came from out of nowhere. It shocked me to see it unfold and I am at a complete loss to explain it. I hope McFly has the answers, but it was more than the ruck problem, blokes just didn't put in around the ball.

Time to take it over to the autopsy thread.
