Much better footy in 3rd but just too much unacceptable stuff.
1. Picking 3 slow tall forwards in the wet. With no Dusty why isn't Noah playing from start.
2. Laird and now Sidebottom have just absolutely carved us up in the middle.
3. Too many passengers tonight. Lynch was hopeless on a reject Crows defender and not in Pies Best 22. Pickett shocking. Maurice continues to look very lost when he has the ball. Compared to Cumberland who everytime had the ball knew exactly what he was doing, weaving through traffic to free himself up on his left and lowered his eyes every time.
4. No ball users. When Rioli isn't run and carrying we don't have anyone with good enough skills to hit targets so we kick to contests and we got absolutely smashed when ball hit the ground. Judson Clarke looks to be the next best, maybe Bolton but he too often doesn't use it well, but ge this is really disappointing to have an entire list of AFL players and not any elite ball users. Collingwood have an absolute plethora.
Yeah missed Tarrant, Broad, Dusty and Hopper but we are absolutely miles off the best. Need to change things if we don't want to just make up numbers like last year. If Pies can turn Sidebottom into a elite wingman again we can do the same but need be better in many areas.
