    - We are smart alecs WITHOUT the footy and repeatedly (that's harsh - regularly!) concede goal-side in D50.
    - Everyone seems to want to get a kick in forward 50 and we compress our OWN forward 50 making it impossible to score.
    - We repeatedly have shots on goal from low %'age situations which releases the pressure on our opponents.

    What have I missed...and what frustrates you the most?
    Need a legit small-forward for when the ball gets on the deck. Cavarra or Weightman. Especially this week in Cairns if it is wet.

    Aside from that, like the game against PA, the Radelaide Oval is like the Western Oval, in that it is narrow. Therefore it is easy to keep ball in the forward-half.

    I like the sentiment.

    I'm not sure what makes you think either Cavarra or Weightman are "legit" small forwards. On exposed form I am not sure what you would call them but "legit" is not the word springing to mind. Well - not if legit means getting front and centre to marking contests or maybe laying a tackle or two.
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Not implying that they are world-beaters (hopefully they will be) but I think they would have been more dangerous at the drop of the ball than Suckling yesterday.

    Having said that, Suckling provides more optionality. Combined with Dureya, it freed-up JJ. Maybe Lipinski comes in this week for Toby. This would help in the forward-half as he is good when the ball hits the deck.

    Because there is enough talent, enough capable footballers to challenge the best deep into September. On our day, our best footy is close to perfect. Not enough of it in the margins.

    Will also add a congested inside 50 and when we bomb it long in there. When we do short passes into there we fare better.

    I hate conceding easy scores from D50 throw ins or stopages. We need to get better at defending these with finals a real possibility.
    It would be nice if we could score ourselves from F50 stoppages on the flipside. Too many numbers inside 50 the culprit as the OP states
    They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!
