Was wet weather. Difficult to kick a score with 4-5 190+ fwds in the wet. Masters also had 4 KPD options to cover your talls so you didn't have the height advantage you would do. Switched Bartel and Rioli at 3QT and it seemed to help
Yeah I'm worried with Kreuzer, Gunston, White and Stringer - subbed out Kreuzer to see the difference but didn't matter much. Might drop White. Either way it's an average forward line. Just gotta get to to ground for Walters and Rioli.
np. Code: FB: R. Lester D. Morris D. Terlich HB: B. Brown C. Garland G. Ibbotson C: B. Hartung W. Langford S. Blease HF: S. Wellingham R. Stanley C. Sylvia FF: C. Wingard C. Dawes J. Winderlich R: J. Ceglar D. Martin O. Wines IC: D. Merrett E. Wood M. Stokes SUB: C. Pearce Tactics: Rotate Merrett with back-line/forward-line when the young need a rest. Rotate Wood with small back-line when the young need a rest. Rotate Stokes with mid-field/small forwards that need a rest. Sub Pearce on at half-time for Martin (unless there is an injured player). Swap Brown, Ceglar, and Stanley around for ruckwork. Place defenders on the most sensible match-ups possible (despite this being a weak side for the sake of playing everyone in the pre-season).

Just a really weird game. The midfielders tactics were the same as nearly every match yet it seemed they all just shook each others' hands and said 'yep, see you at the end of the game' I'll name and shame some culprits Brent Stanton - conceded 41 touches Steele Sidebotton - conceded 45 touches Matt Thomas - conceded 44 touches Anthony Miles - conceded 38 touches The first two are a bit one way but Thomas works both ways so it was a bit of a surprise. Pretty pissed to have won the midfield battle so badly and had my attack so well blanketed. Match was even (7.12 each) with 10 minutes left then the floodgates opened
