I think the last two weeks have given the boys some lessons, and hopefully the coach too.
Dogs: 32 point winners
FG: Weightman
BOG: Weightman 5 Goals in a breakout game
Yes, we need a natural forward with English, Williams and possibly Young in.

The cavalry might arrive in defense this week to stop us leaking goals
It's an interesting point, but in terms of goal % per I50 we have 2 games which stand out in terms of our worst performances, Sunday's game vs Carlton and also rd2 vs WC when we gave up a goal on about 30% of our opponents I50's... for the rest of the games we sit between 15-21%. Even against Richmond it was only 20% which is very good.. it was just the sheer number of I50's that hurt, as well as a key forward we couldn't contain.
Some would say that the defensive set-up in terms of personnel was as strong as it might get against WC, so even taking into account their extremely talented forward-line there's many factors that go to determining how our defensive group performs.
But agree we need some re-enforcements/ different personnel in that area of the ground.
