    Three Things I've Learned - Round 23 Edition

    Once the Round 23 match against Brisbane Lions is completed, let us know the three things you learned after watching the match.

    Be constructive but be honest.

      1. Our defence is a rabble without Morris, Boyd and Murphy.
      2. Adelaide will go in as favourites next week.
      3. If Stef Martin is up for grabs we'd be crazy not to offer him big bucks.

        1. I remember a time when I came onto Woof and there was a lot of friction on here. It was annoying and I'm glad it has moved on and developed into what it is. I guess I realised today how much the nature of the board has changed over the years.

        2. Our ruck is an ongoing concern ( Should we be looking at getting an American import as other clubs are starting to?) All options are on the table.

        3. Today we gave up massive amounts of ground in a very short space of time to a lowly ranked club. Spells trouble.

          1. It was as unemotional footy as I've felt once Geelong got out to a good lead.
          2. Finals baby! Only 8 teams to talk about on footy shows this week. Hopefully the media decide the narrative is our 'under dog' kids living a dream of a club and its supporters. Exciting to be back in it with the talent to win finals.
          3. I learned that there's a bit to raid if Brisbane collapses again. Martin, Luey, Rich, McStay would all look great in our jumper at the right price.

            1. We need to bring effort consistently
            2. We need a ruckman
            3. Pointless round 22 wins can bring false hope

              1. Weird things happen the week before finals.
              2. You go in a couple of % off against anyone and you'll pay the price.
              3. As great as our kids are, those few older heads make a big difference.

                What's his contract status?

                I was thinking today that I want his fleetness of thought and low penetrating kick putting it to T. Boyd as a priority. He'll be back in business after another preseason.

                  Not sure. Libba, Wally etc feeding him to on feed to Boyd as you would be worth a bag trade.

                    1. Our game is based on intensity and effort, when we take it easy we look terrible
                    2. Roughead isn't a #1 ruck
                    3. We rested a lot more than the 3 players who didn't make the team sheet
                    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

                      Hehe, last week everyone was lauding Roughead's job on Goldy and now he's not a #1 ruck. A week is a long time in footy, especially after a loss.

                        The concern with Rich this season has been with his effectiveness when more closely checked by the opposition. Let home roam free and he can be very destructive with his kicking but he has gone missing too often when he hasn't been given the latitude, granted that this is his first season back after his ACL.

                          1. As bad as we were today, Adelaide were worse. Both results will have little relevance next week.

                          2. This should have been a twilight or night game.

                          3. A meaningless round 23 win may set back Brisbane football 5 years if the Lions miss out on both Weitering and Schache (would happen if Blues lose Kreuzer and gain pick 2).
