We’re getting a look at the lack of forward pressure without Kako. It’s an enormous weakness
Cumming is quality
so skills haven’t improved, defending hasn’t improved. what exactly are they going to express as improving ?
Johnson, Sharp, Huss, Kondo all showing a bit.
No.
We should have drafted him
Worked back into it but skills were garbage. Very noticeable too the lack of smalls and pressure inside our f50. Tigers rebounded with ease and had so much space forward of the ball

Look slow ![]()
We haven’t changed from anything I noted when I went to training over summer
McGrath can’t kick but he’s seriously clean with his hands.
Tiges walk it out of d50. Then outspread us and went end to end like they are the dogs
Kako and Merrett will make a significant difference
Johnson is our best player.
Brad will be campaigning to delist him before round 1.
our defending on transition actually appears to be worse, pretty remarkable really. deep in defense they can spot up outlets easily and then have multiple free runners over lapping
that, and appalling foot-skills are the clear stand out take aways.
some nice glimpse from a number of the youngsters at least.
I know so many are tempted to live in the past but, welcome to 2026.
I renewed Kayo for this!?
I hope we play all 3 forward
Merrett
Kako
Huss
Not sure his is out best player but he is our best kick so should play
Over summer? We haven’t changed anything on-field over Midtable Brad’s entire tenure…
Another bottom four finish and top 5 pick why does it matter how they play its what we want
Do they have a scoreboard?
