Autopsy Roast Toast & Changes for Gold Coast

[Lsta062]

Is anyone else just desperate for the season to be over?

Since we were down 74-7 against Gold Coast in Round 0

Lefau for sure.

It's literally the second last game of a season which has been fully over for 3 months where almost every player has been injured at one point or another. You honestly can not expect them to put in the same effort as a team trying g to lock in a finals spot.

Also missing players bring more than just their individual performances and impact. We do not have a forward line which changes how our entire team plays.
For example, the midfield has no targets going inside 50 which makes them second guess and are unsure of how to move the move forward which leads to making mistakes.
Lets say Nank taps it down Tarantos throat who breaks out of the pack and streams forward and.......what. Who's he going to kick it to?
Having a target like Lynch + Lefau + Maurice makes the entire team better. We actually have targets which means you can play more confidently.

Through injury, age, changing game plan we've had an awful year and it means no one can play to their potential. Every player, including guys that have been good for a decade, didn't suddenly become shit. A few additions can make the entire team much better due to being able to play confidently. By the time we've had those injured guys start to come back, our confidence has been shot and our year already over. It's hard to get them to turn it around by the mn

Totally agree, posted nearly the same thing in the Bauer thread.

Having a functioning forward line negates the need for Balta to play there and shores up the backline, so a twofold win. Adding MRJ and LeFau offers scoring power as well as defensive pressure, something that's been severely lacking.

should , won't

as usual we will look to get our gun lead-up forwards from pick 70 onwards, rookie, MSD etc.

we love a 'bargain'!

FA option in the past.
Hopefully again.
throw Dusty, Bolton money at any the best available KPF.

You reckon? Adam Pattison had him well and truly covered from memory

Funnily enough, that was a name that popped into my head the other day. Wasn’t he from that draft where we had five picks in the top 20 and not one of them was still around by the time we were any good?

A fantastic running goal from Mansell to start the match

Some nice highlights, for sure, such a shame we conceded 9.3 to one behind between the first and second highlights
