when hardwick gave reasons for playing martin off half back, teaching him to be more defensive wasn't one of them.

I actually think the idea has merit IF you are utilising Dusty's strengths; one of which happens to be his long kicking.

Having him on the HBF and seeing him chipping it around from one flank to the other is not taking advantage of his strengths. Actully the opposition would loving it as it isn't hurting them and it gives them time to set up a wall

If you can get the runners actually bloody running HARD and have him deliver it long to a player in space then it works but chipping, zipping and having him playing kick to kick to kick with the others back is the waste IMHO

He left under Free Agency (which was his right) and we got zilch in return

This was one of the most glaring things I saw. I saw dusty and griffiths chipping is around when they should be roosting it 60M over the heads of the zone. All it does if gives time to get players back and fill holes in front of our fowards. What a waste the skills of these players. It also looked like Jack and Vickery were expecting it to be roosted over heads as they were playing from behind.  That said this tatic might not work if you dont go in with any true small fowards. To be honest I thought we drafted to fix this problem and them we dont play a single one. Dont get that.

Agree

Reckon alot of us were left either doing this  :huh3  or  :banghead with some of the selections and or moves (or lack of moves) last week

With probably this  :banghead being a fair way ahead

Ok so it seems we can all see it. That being the case you'd hope the coaches can too. Will they have the cohunas to realise they've got it all wrong and sort it out before it's too late and we're zip and 4 ?
Dusty back to the mid/fwd
Newy back to defence/bench
Jack to FF

Oh and Petterd to the magoos

Hardwick basically admitted that subbing griffiths off instead of vickery was a mistake.
