Still right up there challenging. I think Harley Bennell and Blakely running around the midfield in purple is a must with Fyfe putting on another three kilos at centre half forward. Its scary good.
Alex Pearce is a like for like swap for Macpharlin. No issues there.
I think the improvement areas are as follows:
More goals coming from fwds leading to the ball on transition, you really dont need to give too much up defensively to do that do you?
Play Barlow at the contest or dont play him at all,
Need a small backman quick of mind and foot,
Sort Maynes head out cause the bloke is freezing up out there,
Why are we in such bad shape physically at the pointy end all the time? Can we get smarter in the way we play?
I know Tabs and Sheridan mucked up last night but i feel their failings are around self belief not ability, stick with them.
Crozier to put on a stone and be a machine.
Port Adelaide went through this prior to 2004. There is a lot to like.
