Our lack of run and overlap I think contributes a lot to it. His greatest weapon being his fast hands and the work rate is so average he has zero options. He has lost pace and his decision making is also that little bite slower but I remember in 2016/2017 off season the rise of Edward’s came with Caracalla Hardwick and co recognising they need to be on when edwards has ball in hand

Can't seem to find a teammate with a handball over short distance at the moment. Seems to have lost all confidence with his disposal. Without his ability to setup his teammates he doesn't have a lot left in his repotoire at this point in his career unfortunately. Having said this it is still early days season wise but the signs aren't great.

Lovely passage of play from Shedda just now.
Shame Lynch couldn't capitalise.

Parker, Costagna, Ross. Three that are far worse than even a "Struggling" Edwards. On the downslope but far from our biggest problem.

Ross was one of the few who actually put his body on the line...on at least one occasion leading to a goal for us....that alone puts him in the top 10 in my book......the far more hyped and highly rated Ralphsmith on the other hand.... :shh

One good passage of play and the rest was putrid. If other players can’t perform better than Ross then they shouldn’t be in the team. I’m referring to hugo aarts and any other dud we have.

Not from where I was sitting at the Adelaide Oval

A couple really poor non efforts

It was Shedda's best game this year; easily

Ross is soft he had one tough contest at half back that resulted in us getting a goal but all in all he’s pretty much the the softest player in the team

Shed had a good game tonight, lifted and linked well.

Ross just can't kick, bemused as to the role they persist with.
Go Tigers!

he lacks hardness at times but that's a terrible call. Ralphsmith has him covered by a mile in the poor effort area.

Thought Edwards was a bit meh. Had a good third quarter but if people think hes not a part of the problem moving fwd then they have their blinkers on.

People know where i stand id prefer we bite the bullet and put games into younger blokes.

 No matter what your opinion is it won’t change the clubs thinking. They will introduce players into the side based on injury, form and needs and won’t throw the towel in at this stage of the season.
Everyone’s entitled to their opinion but I would like a culture where the aim is to win games.

In what deluded world do you think say playing Sonsie this week instead of say Castagna or Edwards is throwing the towel in.
No one ever goes into games not wanting to win.

Do you really think im here to change the clubs opinion lol. im here to give a simple opinion an opinion  what i believe is the right opinion for us for where we are currently at.

There is always the aim to win every single game you go into but there has to be a realisation that we wont be winning any flags over the next few seasons at least and plan accordingly.

You want form well there is two sides to form there is also those out of form.

Sonsie has been good for how many weeks he may have been a little bit quiter this week but he has done enough. How much more do you want out of Mansell he is exactly what we are lacking. Stacks game not good enough for you and he has been building nicely.

Gibcus was a bit sore but has been good and has rested no need to make him spend the rest of the season in the mnagoos.treat him like the others and bring him straight back or does that only apply to the favorites. Some culture that.

You don't think its time to play RC-D he has performed all sorts of roles and worked on all sorts of areas to their pleasure its bloody time to play him.

You keep harping on as though the kids in the two's have been absolutely hopeless when the truth is those being spoken about have done well.Seems no matter the kid, favorites will always take precedence for you. Kids are performing roles better than the incumbents in the seniors.

Play the freakin kids but play em in well structured teams with plenty of PREMIERSHIP PLAYERS around them.That is whats needed and the longer we keep on fantasising about premierships the harder it will get.

A simple question for everyone. ARE WE GOING TO WIN THE FLAG THIS YEAR. If you answer no then there is only one path to take given the age of our list.
