English just being manhandled and then not competing hard enough. How is this midfield killing us in centre clearances.

He is. They started with Goldstein as the main man v English and Draper as the second.

They've changed it up later and now Draper the main guy.

English getting smashed by both.

At Footscray end/our cheer squad end Tim had opportunity to put some body pressure/smash pack and was I thought he was timid. Led directly to a bombers goal. If he is getting smashed at clearances then he has to dominate around ground and he is not doing that. Not sure he is worth $1M a season. C?mon Timmy, prove me wrong.

They have doubled our centre clearances. Doubled!

Libba is getting worked over by multiple mids. Caldwell mainly.
Bont has played loads of forward time since the ankle roll v Suns.

We really depend on those two way too much.

I think you're right. Bont does appear to be having his midfield time managed.

So we bench our two best clearance players for such extended periods because one is being tagged. Libba’s been tagged his whole career. Last week against the Cats these two were hardly struggling.

This is why I'm against making him our highest paid player. This happens a lot.

We are getting, in the words of the great Rocket Eade, crucified.

I thought you couldn't just push a ruckman in the back like that?

Our forwards are getting violated at every contest, and nothing is getting paid. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Plenty of other things we're doing wrong...but some deserved free kicks would be nice.

Bont is the highest paid

Another bullshit free kick

Bramble too many errors, Gallagher will be dropped

English can FRO and Darcy in the ruck is detrimental to our performance.
