This is a good post. I agree re Astbury. Saw signs of the defence being more unbalanced in the Adelaide game too, when Dave came back. Not sure why or how - but its just mucked up the connection or all the backline. During the Adel game, I thought it was just Balta being unsettled with Dave back - more about where does he play - but far more obvious tonight. Incl Flossy and Grimes.
A few players had poor games. Marlion, the 3 forwards, Houli, the defence as a collective. Too much just for Nank with no genuine ruck support. Forward line went back to being the frustration of earlier this season - with all the I50s being wasted.
Brisbane wont beat Geelong.
Not sure how it will work but we need Broad and Caddy back.
Vlastuin had a strange game, I think he still played fairly well, but he dropped several marks that he'd normally eat up every day of the week.
