Our issues playing the best teams are all to see.
Defensive group - They are pretty good, but Graham makes way too many bad decisions. I'd like to see more of Peck next season, reckon she looked really good when she played last year
Forward line - Way too much reliance on goals from Brennan, Greiser (I reckon she gets undeserved stick) and Yassir. Ford isa newbie and will get better, but gee we saw what having a good 3 that can mark can do at this level. Weird thing was, we were playing a front 3 with McLleland and then decided to go with 2 rucks instead of a ruck forward. I reckon we won way more games playing a forward / ruck than a ruck / forward. Ferg got this wrong.
Midfield - Just way too slow and again (its a trend) too much reliance on 2 - Conti and Sheeran. I like Dalloway, but she needs to find more of the ball, but I think Egan steals a lot of the "good" inside mid minutes. I remember watching something on her Insta that could explain what appears to be "bulking", as she was working on power, I think she's been failed by her trainer, as her power hasn't improved and all she has done is add bulk / muscle mass, which isn't the go for an AFL footballer. Lavey - my memory tells me she used to be really nimble before the knee injury, maybe its just her 1st season back, but she seems to have lost all of that, and Dempsey seems to have turned into a shadow of herself since the online abuse she got. With her being out best kick, thats not a good position to be in.
Just on today (and another for Ferg), but why move Hicks to the forward line, when she has played back all season, she looked completely lost and certainly didn't help with that forward line reliance on the main 3. We have almost dumped a player into the last forward position rather than find someone who can kick goals. I know she's slow but I'd much prefer Courtney Jones in the forward line, at least she's dangerous and always a chance of getting a goal. Its been an ongoing issue against the best sides, just not enough avenues to goal.
Plenty for list management to work on, hopefully they have a few zippy players they know about. Also, they need to find a way next year of using Bacon a lot more, she's sizzling when she gets her pace up.
