And then play Clarke for only 58% of the game. He is consistently playing low minutes when he plays. I genuinely don't understand what they are trying to achieve with his selection. His ball use and decision-making is mediocre, he is not hard at it and he plays low minutes.Comment

Definitely agree Sinclair needs help in the ruck. He’s actually one of best heart and soul players , can’t fault his effort at all and always contributes around the ground but is getting smoked in the ruck contests. Is Cameron a good tap ruckman ? If so get him in and let Sinkers play some time at full forward ( alternating ruck as well) , he’d be good for two goals a game and would straighten us up a little. Our long bomb strategy might actually work if he’s the target. Love Dawson , he’s improved almost every game since he came back in. Thinking he’s best suited as an on baller so let’s start playing him there more. Maybe by this time next year he’ll be being talked about like Taranto and hopper , if he gets a chance to show what he can do in the position he kills in the NEAFL. No reason to keep him out of there , even If it means Joey moves out of the guts. We should be following Geelongs lead and reducing the centre bounce attendances of our older midfielders and getting experience into the future brigade. This is the perfect year to do that as I don’t think there are any expectations , internally or externally about us playing finals now. I want to see development , even if it means I have to watch hidings. Don’t care , faster we do it the faster we get back into contention. Mills has to be given an extended midfield run now too, and COR surely has to come in to his spot. We need to know if Mills is the player we thought he was going to be . Keep Rowbottom in ahead of Jack and maybe give anyone performing in the NEAFL Ronkes spot. He is a shell of his 2018 self. Happy to not see any of Grundy , Macca, Smith or Jack back in the side this year.

One of my major frustrations is the way horse brings in new players and plays them out of position. The club has now turned it into a thing. The hybrid role. I find this really annoying.
Dawson happy as hybrid - sydneyswans.com.au
I can't help but feel this has contributed to our nextgen of young players not establishing themselves.
Trying to be positive about what comes next not down about what is happening now. Seeing steady development of our players helps that. This isn't helping development.

Very poor effort last - skill errors everywhere, we fumbled, dropped marks, handballed to opposition, couldn't hit a target and gave away many easy goals.
We need to bring more pace into our slow moving attack and don't leave our forwards to compete against 2 or 3players. There were so many occasions where we kicked to the forward line, only to have 1 Swans against 2-3 GWS. No wonder we cannot score enough goals to try and win a game.Comment

Unfortunately, there is no easy fix.
1.Our once were superstars are not any more. They are still very good but no one, including Buddy, would be in line to be considered in the top 30 players in the comp at the moment.
2. The next group to take over are a year or two away yet - Heeney, Mills, Florent, AA, Jones. They have all shown at times this year that they have the potential but they haven’t consistently played 4 quarters with a 3pt Brownlow performance.
3. Our bottom few are really struggling. Every team has some bottom players that play a role but ours are getting beaten every week. I was so hopeful that Ronke was going to be another rookie jewel but his skills just don’t match his effort. In the 5 games he has played this year, he has managed only 11 effective kicks at a kicking efficiency of 39%. I was high in Clarke too but he also turns it over with really poor skills.Comment

Looking at some of the stats from the game - we had 5 players with 50% or less effective disposal - Clarke was running at 27%. GWS had 1 and that was Greene ! Our skills are the major factor in most of our turnovers and that is what is killing us.
We were smashed in the hit outs and I think it is time we gave Sinkers some help. Play Cameron and let Sinkers rest in the forwards.
Play Mills in the centre and bring in COR at HBF.Comment
