The problem we have is that if we go to the bench for impact, who provides that?

I haven't minded our shape - just lacked some really decisive actions, whether tackling, clearing the ball or pushing forward. All a bit to tentaive for the three goals.

I was worried about this, he has clearly lost some pace, he was being beaten heaps last season especially when he was defending so high up the field, now he is just an angry, old man getting embarrassed all over the park.

What are your thoughts on the giant holes at full-back? Poor structure.

Jeez what a header. Beautiful touch before that by WeeMac.

If we could sort our defence out we'd be a decent team..

Most of their better attacks have been through the middle, not out wide.

That’s a smart sub of Ridenton. Have Parkhouse wide on the left and bring Dario central

Don't disagree, but our CB's were often being pulled wide.

This is overly harsh  The guy plays with passion and cares about the club from what Ive seen. He's still a decent payer too, but even if he was past it he deserves some respect.

Carney and Simon are in the top 3 'Shark players who always seem to score against us'. The other one is Josh Rose.
