* We prefer Astbury down back but his efforts up forward on the weekend show he can be a swingman for us which we will use.
* We'd like to see Vlastuin become a different sort of Houli. At the moment, Floss is winning his footy in contested situtations. We'd like to see more run and rebound so he can use his elite footskills and decision making more. We'd also like to play him in the midfield but at this stage he doesn't have the tank to play long periods in there.
* We didn't leave Harry Taylor free. Harry is just an elite reader of the play and he used the inexperience of his young opponent Lennon to know when Lennon wasn't going to be used and when he could play off him. We tagged Harry in the second half.
* There's an old saying that you're not as good as you think you are when things are going well and you're not as bad as you think you are when things aren't going for you. All our KPIs are up and improving. We're the only side along with Hawthorn that has won the Inside 50 count in all of our games. It's just that we are making fundamental errors at crucial times (under pressure against Geelong whose pressure was very good). So while we're disappointed being 2-3 and where we are on the ladder, we know we're not far away from turning it around. We need to keep reinforcing this to build up confidence within the playing group.
