I have read a few people saying that our backline is fragile and Tass and the forwards aren't doing enough. Well, it all starts in the middle, and that is where we are being killed. In the last 2 weeks we have given up 90 hit outs to 28. I can't remember the stats for the Geeeeelong game, but if you recall, when Mensch and Mooney rucked, they also killed our guys. If we lose so dramatically in the centre and at stop plays, then the pressure on our backline becomes overwhelming, as the ball is just delivered in so fast, we have no chance to defend.
I don't think that we can expect to win games when the opposition mid-field get first use of the ball nearly everytime in is in dispute.

Shocking figures!!! We MUST make it our number one priority to GO ALL OUT and get a very good ruckman at the end of the year. This is a MUST. Someone like, Porter, Allan (if returns from injury), the Brissie rucks..Keating and McDonald(I think that's right), anyone that would relieve the pressure of Josh and maybe with Mckee playing backup. WE NEED A RUCK!!!!
