    Well we needed Hynes to kick that - and he did. Worrying signs, though

      They’re just exposing our biggest weaknesses. Hopefully if we get to run in the finals, Jones is available. At least he might provide some defensive IQ. Lobb, JOD, Coff have played under 50 games in def between them. They have a formidable fwd setup.

          The boy shouldn’t be out there.

            Wing is a terrible spot for him too at this stage. It’s as a small forward or VFL.

                  The ease of entry into our backline doesn’t help

                        I guess we shouldn't be surprised, playing a team above us so we can't flat track bullying this week.

                          Any chance we stick a tackle or stop transition? This was my nightmare type of performance and it’s playing out unfortunately.
                          Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                            It’s easy to pick shit on the backline, but the ball is coming in far too easily.

                            Our mid sized players outside a couple are getting destroyed.

                              Lobb four goals against in a quarter. Cool cool cool cool. It works when Jones allows the intercept.

                              Can anyone explain why Liam Jones is so suddenly on the nose? It's a real surprise to me.

                              Crows are a much better side. They spread with intent, making us look very reactive.

                              Not sure how we win. I can't see an avenue.

                                We haven't been bad, but they're just better. Better drilled, better skilled, better defensively.

                                Hard watch because we look like we are in a fight we can't win.

                                Our back half is deplorable. Yeah, we need our forwards and mids to apply pressure, but SOMETIMES the back half just have to win some contests. They can't. It's alarming how bad they are.

                                That we went into this game with the same setup is poor by the MC. I thought after not picking Jones or Buss we'd see English ruck and run back, but that hasn't been overly noticeable.

                                We're a 7-10 side until we can fix our back half.
