Surely J Brown wants to dump the Bears? Maybe too far past his prime and only good for 1-2 yrs?
Wanted... A Forward Line

And White hasnt even played a full season in the forwards. Vespremis not a key forward and I doubt it was ever intended he be one, Jetta same and TDL has played one game but will never be a power forward.
Key forwards rarely come in and dominate from day one . Kirk tippett who was hailed the nexty big thing at the crows rarely dominates and has only really had a few standout games this season and he has bigger wraps than white. Everyone is being way too impatient expecting that after a few games we will all of a sudden have a bunch of gun forwards. A perfect example of why we shouldnt just play all the young guys because this is what you get - mistakes and inconsistency.Comment

Our supposed forward line was completely inept today. We seem incapable of marking the ball inside 50. I will hope and dream that Bradshaw returns soon and White becomes the player we hope that he will.Occupational hazards:
I don't eat animals since discovering this ability. I used to. But one day the lamb I was eating came through to me and ever since then I haven't been able to eat meat.Comment

We continually screwed around looking for a target, rather than getting it into the danger zone.
And don't start me on the across the ground kicks. Are you listening Goodes, Malceski, Grundy et al???Comment

Not sure if that is the problem cruiser. To me, it seems to be the delivery, and the continuing little dinky kicks into the F50, that give the fwds little to no chance to even try and mark it.

Good point, but it's been going on for a while. It's just frustrating to watch (on TV). I'd prefer to get the ball into the danger zone if there are no other options.Comment

until the ball starts continually coming out of the 50 and we all start complaining that we just bomb it in the whole time and we have no structure.Comment

I thought the problem yesterday was lack of tru marking forwards. Ted is nothing but a stop gap and while he took some nice grabs he is not a focal target and doesnt lead well. TDL just isnt that big and while he showed he could make a good half forward, he will never be the power forward of the team .
Many times we streamed out of defence but were unable to find a target or if there were two targets they both lead the same way. This is probably due to the lack of experience of ted in that position and the lack of cohesion between the guys having rarely if ever played together in these roles.Comment

"Certainly on this ground you can get away with perhaps playing a bit more of a makeshift forward line and get him around the ball and get him involved early.Comment
