Yep, reminded me of those games up at the Gabba where Brisbane players would almost know we'd fumble it and let us get sucked into the ball to win it/pressure it. Brisbane would back their player to win it or handle it properly then whip it to the outside and they'd be away.

Agree with all of this except Billings.
He had a shocker after coming on but I want to see at least a couple of full games from him first.

Yeah, can't expect him to save the ship when it's already sinking

Lol it's just so ****ing boring. 4 inside players and Salem who has no outside run

Fair enough. I've been expecting him to be at that same level as Chandler and Spargo where they will have games against weaker opposition where they do nice things but don't move the dial in a high pressure game. Not writing him off yet but that's the level of my expectation.

Not saying they necessarily take him but Billings is the type of guy you add to a Collingwood, Brisbane or GWS and he looks great because their system works. Drop him into our team and he will look shit because it's broken

I don’t think he’d get a game ahead of Toby …… Bedford

Digging into the why
Salem gone from like 80% in the praccy match to 37 when the real stuff starts. What was even the point?

Bowey getting injured cut into his % for sure.
That was the most notable thing for me.
We were definitely trying to go inside 50 lower and faster, and to a more central option, but Stafford should answer some questions on why we were so stagnant in front of the footy.
Melksham will help here as he is quite good at sacrificial movement, but yeh I was really disappointed to see us so stagnant which allowed Sydneys defence to be waiting in position.

I can easily imagine that move sticking around until Bowey is fit again then.

All of our forward stocks must attend the MFC Academy of Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tubemen.
That mix really is same same same.
I know they wanted Kozzy in there to mix it up but I’m hopeful Windsor might even be able to attend some centre square action eventually, for some balance.
I wonder if Langdon or Hunter could get a few goes as well?

I think Oliver directly replaced Salem once he went back. Seemed Trac and Oliver were swapping on ball and F50 before the Bowey injury.
Howes solid debut unfortunately will get lost in the fallout. Thought he was very good. Windsor did some nice things too. Can see him at least trying to run and carry and hit a tough kick. Billings as sub was another crazy Goody move. Spargo with limited prep should have been sub. Shouldn't have played at all tbh
Langdon can GTFO.

Laughing thinking about Trac fumbling 3 times in 5 seconds under relatively no pressure on the wing.
