If there is a silver lining, it's that Eade had to leave Harbrow, Williams, Higgins and Addison on last night.
All aquitted themselves well and will be all the better for the experience.

The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.
Agreed
Being the positive thinker I am I was already at half time trying to put a positive spin on losing Griffen and Cross with ACL injuries. As in who would step up and who would benefit from the opportunities created...
McMahon would have to be the obvious choice to fill the Griffen role but I noted Ray got opportunities last night and Addison may well get opportunities as a rebounding defender also.
Will Cross's injury be the making of Gia? He's obviously IMO capable but seems to struggle to produce the consistently high performances he does show he is capable of. He threw himself around last night at the Gabba
Yes, Gia really lifted last night but he is now an almost a senior player.
Probably none of us would have expected all of Harbrow, Williams, Higgins and Addison to be on for all of the second half.

Fair call
Gia is most definitely a senior player but I believe its now Gia, Jordie, Hargraves, Harris, Morris, Gilbo, Mitch, Murph, DMoz etcs team - they are now the senior players and its up to them to carry us week in, week out.
That said there is still a fair bit of room for improvement in them, given that the Rohde years were a complete right off in terms of them moving forward.
We need as many of them as possible to turn into GUNS - we need more stars in the team
I quite like the idea of playing Ray as a running half back. He's got the overhead ability, and the motor to be very good in that role.
I was pleasantly surprised when Faz slotted through that goal on the run, my friend joked that it was because he could only see out of one eye.
That's the sort of thing he does well, there wasn't a lot of pressure and he was comparatively fresh. When he can make space and kick straight late in the last 1/4, especially from deep in a pocket he will have arrived IMHO.
