1/94
Really not sure what to make of that from new recruit Dawson but will thank the powers that be for the 94. Totally confused by his role tonight, seemed to be away from the action a lot.
Sweet (E) was always going to post an awkward score given the number of supercoachers hanging on it. Tricky decision now (like many) as to whether to keep primary Ruck which is Meek in my case.

Run the players into the ground in the regular season chasing meaningless wins as if they mean something, so that players either miss extended periods or around the finals to provide a scapegoat given the lack of continuity and inexperience as to why the same decisions, structures, personnel, etc fail time and time and time again. Speaks volumes about their faith (lack thereof) in the players outside of the best 22-23 and need to remember it is a team sport not an individual sport and thus do not place heavy reliance on too few.
All good as he will mention in the presser and going forward that they worked harderer for longerer and we will take lessons from this, which we
fail to learn from or enact and make the same mistakes and thus the same scenarios repeat. Bomb kicks into the 50 and out wide to the boundaries without lowering the eyes due no leads/poor leading lanes and a lack of forward structure whilst we press up too far and allow too many easy scores out the back. The fatigue from utilising that tactic could contribute to the inefficiency at goal which occurs season after season with the insistence not to let Jay Schulz up on his offer, since we have goal kicking extraordinaire, Chad Cornes.

Completely. I coulldn't agree more. While it may seem obvious that tactics were completely inept and matchups/zones were poor choices at best, just blame individual execution and take the attitude that such is life/footy. The players seem to love him but he often reveals himself as a script-following borderline simpleton who has somehow managed to punch above his weight for an awfully long time.
