game plan seems too high risk thus the amount of turnovers.
we seem to use lateral outriders all the time thus kicking across the ground instead of down the lines.
We are poor at navigating opposition zones

Question for anyone who attended today's game:  how would you rate Tambling's game?

Reasonably played off HB. Good disposal today linked up really well with Johncock a few times.

Houli will be good. Finally a good selection.

Foley good today but dear ooh me how embrassing the rest.

I like helbig should play Rd 1.
Dusty gun

Nahas. I want to smash this little prick I mean seriously how many times can u fall to ground.
Mcguane. Dumb footballer. If his in our best 22 we are screwed.

Look, I thought it was ok from a perspective of a developing list.

 There were some patches in quarters which when we string together in future we will kick 5 goals unanswered.

Foley's second half was awesome. Planet swallowing devastation. He is so hungry. He wants payback from the footy gods and he ain't stopping for poo.

Griggs was good as was you could hope for. Houli was Sharp. Lids was good. I think Rance has improve out of sight. Batchelor looks like he's been in our back lime for 5 years. Very settled.

Post should play round 1 no question. 2 goals and some nice ruck work. Involved in play.

And poo me, why do our rucks jump so early? It can't be that hard, but if we don't get it right by round 1, we are going to give away possession nearly every centre bounce.

The rest were ok to very average. Most of the rest did some nice things, but seemed out of their depth in general play. we struggle to move the ball quick, and when we do, we rely on their errors to keep moving it forward.

My real concern is on the defense. It appeared to be 1 on 1 today, and I don't know if that's the main setup planned for the year, but a) if it is we are going to struggle and b) if not, thank god, and we better know how to mind space.

Sorry, but a fit K.Moore would be the only one to get a game in a top 8 team.
Tuck was offered as trade 14 months agao with no takers.

Did you notice how hard it was for us to get centre clearances without him?

I agree with Jack in terms of Tuck but without him and Cotchin in the middle we smashed in the clearances. Moore and Thursfield would have also been handy on some of their larger forwards. Despite how quickly he has come on and his superior ball use and decision-making skills, Astbury is still undersized for a key position backman. Not sure if Derickx has the rucking skills or knowledge yet to take the No 1 spot yet. I feel he has more natural ability but I doubt whether he would have made much of a difference in this embarrassment.

So are we looking for debut games for Conca, Batch and Derickx and Helbig - 4 newbies with 0 games experience. Also Grigg and Houli will probably play so that makes 6 newbies for r1.
