We are not going to be in top 4 come September if we play the way we played last night. It was symptomatic of our deficits that get glossed over when we beat the bottom teams with our flair.
And the best example of it was Chad yesterday - took an exceptional mark and runs into spaces when the ball is won by one of our own but then goes missing when it is too tough and when we are unable to win the contested ball. I know he has other skills that are hard to get and we have to play him differently but it is good when we are on top but when we are not - he goes missing.
Bice and Rosas shouldn’t be in AFL top 23 - just not strong enough in contest.
Campbell, Roberts are both very good kicks but they run around the opposition players and get beaten so often that it is not a joke. Again elite at one thing but below average at another just doesn’t make sense to me.the gap between one skill and another is so much at present that we cannot win with this group. We need to get a few stronger contested players
