Because it's never 'just JLT' or the like. It's the same inability to defend a run of goals we've had Hinkley's entire tenure. There's always those saying 'it was one game' or 'there's this <excuse> this time, not time it won't happen', but it does again, again and again. We are right in this to win and potentially win big, but it won't change our total inability to slow / stop a side with momentum is still a glaring issue, that good sides (not North) will kill us with this year.
There's actually been some better ball movement than recent years & we are playing a host of rookies.. we are patchy but that's hardly surprising.

So we've got the so called super ruck combo, against a VFL player, and we're being beaten easily in the clearance numbers, in particular the all important centre square.

Our defense is just completely lost when the ball hits the ground, absolute panic kicks in with this 6-6-6 stuff. Reminds me of the Troy Chaplin, Cam O'Shea days.


Some good signs from SPP that term, Boak again looking great, Robbie heating up. Watts got involved which was alright. Marshall is getting closer to impacting the game. Butters just looks so lively. Burton did a couple horrid things. DBJ and Bonner were alright.

Hoping to see a lift from Rozee and Duursma this term. Also hoping that the ruckwork we saw towards the end of the quarter becomes the norm against a 2nd stringer

Put Charlie Chaplin or Pettigrew in defence alongside Jonas and Clurey in their current form and we could get back to 2012 levels of shyte. :rolleyes:
