We are all dejected after three losses. And rightfully so. But look at the pattern. We came close to the Lions but their forwards were out for that game. We beat Freo and Geelong that don't have really dominant full forwards. Then we were beaten by David Neitz. A few dodgy umpiring decisions stopped us from beating the Bombers when we stopped Lloyd from dominating. Then Richo murdered us. Surprise - without Schauble in defence we lose to powerful full forwards. Craig and Leo and Heath have done alright but they've just reduced our losing margin.

I don't think our problems could be simplified like that.
Try a combination of key players including Shauble out injured, a poor and misfiring midfield, players out of form / not 100% fit / lacking confidence.
No doubt we are missing Shauble but there are many other things that need to be addressed."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk
