What's the solution?

Last year we needed to ether trade for or recruit a more senior football ready player.

1. We need a bigger Key Defensive player to help out. Adams is too short for the monster key players, and Roberts hasn't improved at all. We can't rely on poor old Wood having to leap up and try and cover the likes of Reid. Morris is way past being a KPP, infact he never was one at 191cm, however, he is a general in the backline and was missed.

I can't believe you are again diminishing the efforts of Morris playing bigger players and are now saying that is your view of his entire career.

I mentioned last year during the trade period that with the loss of Hamling and with Adams indicating he wanted to go home and the fact that we had chased Hurley that we needed to recruit at least one key defender so I agree we are down on options.

Collins development is vital. If he flops, we are really up shit creek.

And it's a couple of years away from making that call. He's younger than English

We need to find a key defender this off season. By the way it's speculated that Adams has a season ending injury.

I saw a comment on Twitter re: injury that didn't look promising at all. Season over by the looks of it and a real risk of career long issues.

1. I hate the Swans song more than ever

2. We need to pay Stringer a lot more now, midway through the season

3. This is not the same team I saw at Spotless in the PF. Something is really wrong with our clearances and coal face work

Too late. What do we do now?

Morris is one of our greatest defenders of all time, yet coach after coach kill the bloke and force him to play on players way bigger than he is. eg Rocket played him on Buddy in the first half of the 2008 qualifying and he got murdered.

I feel sorry for Morris, playing on guys bigger than him.

Commentators mentioned possibility of the Lisfranc injury, bad news if correct.

Is that the injury that Daniel Cross had and deliberately jumped off a table to snap the tendon? Did Libba have this with his foot problem last year?
They say the Lisfranc injury can end footy careers.
Doc your other post about Bevo missing Monty and his game nous struck a note. Monty was very intense in his job and in instructing players.

I learnt we have at least temporarily lost our mojo and that that beautiful post premiership feeling can be like a honeymoon: you think you have entered earthly heaven but you and humanity ensure it isn't.

Cross injury was plantar fasciitis I think.

Isn't the plantar fasciitis story of jumping of a table about Robert Harvey?

Just checked Ozza and you're right, it was Rob Harvey.
