Well, White should have played - and his brilliant first half in the VFL again today has just confirmed that. Marsh should never have been under consideration to be dropped.

Agree on both counts although with the benefit of hindsight Moore has had his best game to date. Even so, think White would have given more.

Let's take Sidey
3yrs ago he was a elite user if the football. He hit targets from 30/40/50m lace out with such regularity it was scarily good.
Now he can't hit a guy with a kick more than 20m away more than 50% of the time. Last night 9 times he got called play on play on because he didn't kick it 15m
Who has coached that elite skill out of him ?
3yrs ago he efficiency was in the mid to high 70% range now it's just over 50%
How does a player go from that to this ?
I've never been more disappointed in a game as I was last night.
We played a ordinary team who didn't have there biggest and best forward, who lost 3 players by mid way through the final term and we still can't run away with a game (reminds me the Suns game 2014)
We have stalled the past 18 months.
I will happily concede we are better at staying in games. You can't doubt the effort the players give they try their guts out no doubt. 5 losses by under 2 goals against sides all earmarked to be finalists this year proves we have the talent.
But is Bucks the man to get the best out of this group ?
I've never been in the camp that considered Sidebottom's disposal elite. To my way of thinking it has always been a cause of great frustration and likely the only reason he'll never become elite.
I think the drop off in efficiency is more a consequence of the changed experience and age profile of the team rather than any change in Sidey's performance. Players like Beams, Thomas, Shaw and Wellingham had all emerged in the same group as Sidey and just made him look better than he actually was.
Jack that's a very valid point I hadn't considered. He is an undoubted talent and I think that's were my ultimate frustration comes from. I expect so much of him maybe to much and I should dial that back to he's just a ok player and judge him as such.
On a side note, more points than goals and it's been that way all year. Turn that around and we win more games. It's self preservation mode now, perform or your on the trade table or the trash table.
