Defence is good BUT we still need to score goals.

Should not have played 3 ruckmen in the same side, McBean should of played and we need to give Motlop whatever he wants!
When are we gonna get this black hole fixed?? With Beano building up for 2016 and beyond, let's hope we don't waste him in a dysfunctional structure.

Ha, Griffiths and lead up forward aren't two concepts that go together. He relies on his athleticism to take his marks and kick his not goals. He has no idea how to lead like a forward.
If you want a lead up forward, we have one who's kicked over 100 goals in the VFL, and who is apparently not as good as Hampson, Newman, lloyd etc.
Rubbish. Griffiths gives the backline that get out kick between defensive 50 and wing. We had nothing tonight hence our inability to create any forward movement.Coburgtiger said:
We play a five-man forward line. They are all as slow as treacle. Need some pace in there or a tall, other than Jack, who can mark overhead. Griffiths can but he can't kick for goal. We need Motlop. In fact, we need two Motlops.
Agree - Griffiths is critical to our structure - I am afraid Hampson isn't mobile enough when he is up against the talls like Adelaide have - perhaps works against a aging Sandi. but that experiment is over - cant have Maric and Hampson in the same team.
Lennon will get there

If only we had someone in the VFL who shows they can kick goals. Imagine how good it would be if we had the bloke that was leading the VFL goal kicking?
Correct - this game was lost in contested ball and clearances. No defense can stop 70+ inside 50's. Forward structure is something that needs to be addressed though. Too top heavy & not dangerous enough.lamb22 said:
It used to be us pressing for 75% of games and the opposition congesting our backline. We're relatively new to this caper of flooding back deep. Hawks sat back but Adelaide came at us, leaving just enough behind to cover our scorers at the end of the chain in case we got out. Dimma needs to find a consistent way out the back for coast-to-coast goals.
There aren't many constants in the modern game.
Camporeale was far too astute for a noob. I sense the sinister hand of Worsfold.
