Last 2 weeks have seen us lose by a combined 210 points as the injury crisis reaches critical mass. 15 on the injury list heading into this game, little ability to make meaningful changes at all and Yze is basically just biding time until we can get some of our better players back over the next few weeks before he can really start to do anything meaningful in terms of selection and adjustments.

I know it's incredibly frustrating to watch us be little more than witches hats as the opposition have a glorified training run at our expense, but what more can be done other than make the best out of a horror situation and keep putting time and development into the kids that may have a future.

Tonight I enjoyed the games of Dow & McAuliffe in the middle against a much more experienced Lions unit. Dow had 20 disposals and 7 clearances, while McAuliffe had 20 disposals 5 tackles and 2 clearances and looked much more comfortable at the level as the game went on, showcasing his power in terms of getting out of the contest and through tackles. Can't wait to see both playing alongside Taranto & Hopper in a few weeks time. Cumberland showed enough to keep his spot for a few more weeks, sure there were some Noah moments, but there was also his ability to create something out of nothing and an ability to hit the scoreboard when given the chance.

It sucks that Mansell and Lefau have now joined the injury list, but I'd be more shocked if we didn't get any further injuries such is our luck at the moment.

Anyway next week we get to front up again and we'll get another chance to see the young cubs develop and right now that is something to look forward to, because the more of them that can step up the better it will be for us moving forward.

STOP DEFENDING SPACE LONG.

Since the stand rule, clubs arw taking the short option. We continue to defend the long kicks and essentially just roll out the red carpet to goals for the opposition by allowing them the short kick and mark.

Also, any chance we could actually switch the ball? This long down the line ball is predictable and clubs are setting up for this knowing we are likely going to turn it over.

Can we stop giving away dumb free kicks? Pickett the main culprit. Just pushes blokes in the back or tackles them sloppily. Is just poor discipline.

Short really needs to go. His kicking used to be the main reason to keep him in the side but that has dropped off and now he offers us nothing. Smith needs to come in.
 
Admittedly, we switched to Midsomer Murders at quarter-time, but I think my favourite moment was Noah Cumberland and Dusty’s conversation at centre-wing (“You kick it into the forward 50”; “No, you do it”; “But I’m a nobody”; “But I’m a, oh, fcuk, there you go”)
