Yes. Bevo called this out in the presser. It was pretty tired kick by English in the last quarter too that resulted in a Swans goal. There is no doubt going two talls down unbalanced our team. Bailey Williams had to play on tall in defence robbing us of midfield run too.

Far from a reason we lost. They often moved the ball forward quickly enough that no ruck could drop behind. He made it to number of defensive contests anyway but had little positive influence.
He had a part timer in Maclean against him who he smashed in ruck contests too.

Seem to forget Sydney started their run of goals when we had 23 fit players

Darcy shouldn't have played as he only had 1 1/2 games in the 2's. Lobb would have helped Tim out and he wouldnt have been so spent in the last 1/4. Marra would have got off the chain if he wasn't playing on McCartin.

Again who is to say Rampe wouldn’t have gone to lobb?
Lobb has been woeful and Darcy was very good last week. We did lose because of the ruck.

I know Bevo conveyed that point but it's risky to go into games when your back up ruckman is a skinny kid who's had not a lot of luck staying healthy.

Well "risk" is certainly a term to describe it. I can think of a few more colourful descriptors.

Gee whiz. We do judge Bont harshly.
15 Woofers casted votes. Only three had Bont BOG. (Definitely not a go at at anyone, I know I judge him too harshly too. We just expect to him to perform miracles every week.)

He was a stand out for mine, if he's kicking goals he's so damaging (checks back to make sure I gave him 4).
