    I think we all agree in that we need some sort of different type of game plan as well
    Yes it couldn’t hurt. Bevo being the main guy but having new assistants around him. A fresh outlook.

    Probably a bit of both. I do think when Duryea came back from injury, we seem to be better organised.

    I would suggest both.

    I think our defenders have been very good this year.

    But in some games they have been under enormous pressure. Why?

    That’s the elephant in the room. Nobody can see it because nobody is looking for it. They are staring at something else.

    I don’t understand why we never change our centre bounce setup to either: A. Work the tap of the opposition ruckman against English, B. Play a close check and kill the ball bringing others around the next contest or C. Tag a player at center bounces only. I don’t think we had a centre clearance in the 3rd quarter on Saturday.

    It’s not the only issue - there is the DMZ that seems to form in some games where we can’t clear it more than 150m from our goal and the horrendous lack of contested marking over the last 4 weeks - but when a team is not only clearing it, but getting relatively unpressured kicks into the F50 from centre bounces time and time again it’s puts pressure on mids and defenders.

    I agree with Duryea. Watched him last year playing in Ballarat and being close to the play as you are at the ground and he just controlled the back line. Yelling all the time for guys to come back, where to go and when to leave their opponents. He was the General down back.

    It's almost as if he came from a club with an organised, disciplined system.

    Intriguing.

    Indeed, thank christ.

    Reckon I could cop falling off the inevitable cliff if we had four flags to console us though.
