What an absolute flop Lobb is looking like.

Our midfield is not kicking into a correct forward setup. Our forwards all head into the same spot and they clash into each other. To get max retuen from Lobb he needs a kick to a lead or a 1-1 contests. Something that is absolutely missing from our team

Also where our fwd cannot mark the ball they should be bringing it down to the crumbers to swop onto for goals. Did not see much evidence of that tongiht

I dont really know why TOB is on our list when he is behind Bruce and Jones for a back half position . Those 2 telling marks Marshall took in the last quarter really makes me question why are we persisting with these almost AFL players. The hawks knew his limations . Tonights game highlights he does not have the body strength to go against 2nd tier tall in Marshall im the comp.

Its just so frustrating to watch.

Yes. Spot on. I was very surprised he was selected today. But I think the reason was that he was meant to the the intercepting option replacing Keath. Bruce and Jones taking the first two talls. The Bruce injury changed everything.

JJ had 28 touches tonight. +400m gained.

He could hardly touch it in those forward roles. It does really highlight how hard it is impact a game of football in those positions and why small forwards who can apply pressure and kick goals are worth their weight in gold.

TOB is not a KPD and conceded height to Marsh. He had a very good game with 7 marks when he was playing a non KPD role. With Bruce off, we had no choice.

O’Brien is 6’4” with a prodigious leap. Marshall is 6’6”. So yes, conceding height but not really a mismatch.

Half backs we look OK. Richards, Caleb, Dureya, JJ, Williams. Who do you want to replace?

Who are the KPD younger players looking to develop to replace Bruce , Jones, Gardner?

Busslinger and Gards. If we land Croft in the National Draft he might be developed as a KPD.

Steven May 193cm
Adam tomlimsom 193cm
Nick murray 194cm
Alex pearece 197cm

TOB 192 cm - not really KPD??

Real crossroads time for the list and consequently Bevo imo.

Re: WB Game Day V Port Adelaide R5 2022 Saturday April 15 7:50PM, Adelaide Oval

Are we blaming Bevo for list management again are we? Or are we saying he's at the crossroads because he might not want to rebuild for the second time in five years?

Between them, Naughton, Lobb, Ugle-Hagan = 1 Goal. Hannon and Weightman = 5 goals. 3 Decoys ?
