Jezza, there is no short term solution - but you continually give Lyon and his game plan a free pass and put it all on the youth - as if that's the main issue.
That's crap. If anything, the draftees, Wilson, Ryan and Pearce are holding their own. Of course we're going to be outgunned by finals bound teams. Yes, we also have injuries.
But the team itself is a shambles - badly structured and a broken, repetitive forward 50 game plan. That's has nothing to do with the players. It's planning, structure and Lyon.
