For a bit of context, we won our last game before CCM and scored 5 goals. So much here is a complete overreaction, how about we wait and see how Kalezic and the team bounce back from his first bad loss before we write everyone off wholesale?

You are correct, but you can't deny that he has personnel problems now.

Can't I? Finkler was absolutely outstanding against Perth, but now he's a donkey cos our holding midfielders did fudge all against CCM? I don't think he should start though. Hamish Watson is an issue I agree, but not sure who else we could have instead - ACFC players don't want to come here and there's not really anyone else in the ISPS Handy that I'm falling over myself to sign instead. Like, its Hoyle or Kilkolly? Anyone I'm missing?

From watching that performance I can't help but think that the reason we struggled so much was due to a lack of movement in midfield. Any time the CBs or Italiano had the ball there was no movement and CCM were easily able to mark them out of the game. Add the fact that all of the ball movement was at a snails pace and the CCM midfield must have thought Christmas had come early, and I think it is largely on Dura and Italiano.

That, for me, is the first discouraging performance this year. I'm not ready to throw in the towel and burn my membership just yet.
