the reason why we're losing is because our midfield is SO NEGATIVE! sure pagan can try and rationale it as "they'll learn to get the ball by tagging the opposition" but that means, we're always 2nd,3rd,4th to the ball....and the only person that has been exempt from this negative play has been boomer...this means that the other teams know that he's the only attacking midfielder we have and everything moves through him, he's the go to man, and the man who sets up our game.....which means he has one awesome tagger on him, and if he's beaten that means that our entire midfield is beaten because no one else is creating and making options and i can't believe that pagan has destroyed our midfield by doing this....and his PERSISTANCE at doing it! it's comparible to our forward structure and the paddock!
sure, it can't all be contributed to our coach, and shagga needs to be dropped....but bloody hell pagan is playing players in their wrong positions! i mean mccartney at chf as opposed to his niche chb, shagga as a tagger?!! he was our best bloody midfielder last year! how can you turn his game, his brownlow medal game into something else?!?! how can he justify playing these people out of position and carrying all our under-performing "leadership body"?

Absoloutley correct!!. It is time the young guys are blooded. At least their young legs will get them to contests. It is the only way forward if the football club is going to go forward. Smith, Harris, Petrie, Teague, Foote and Rawlings should be getting games.

Magoo,
I think the theory is if you are blooding 6 youngsters, then at least two of them are on the ground at ant one time. I am not sure we will never know Watt's capabilities (at North anyway) because he played about 80 (I'm not sure how many) reserves games and I would say less than 10 full senior games.
