Re the kickouts last week. The biggest reason for that was the fact that we played without big men around the middle. Us picking no midfielders is not Gleesons fault. Under the current rules you need to fight for possession a lot more than before, so if you're playing without physicality in the middle third you will lose the midfield battle.

We really need to find someone who can kick two pointers from long range frees off the ground. It's huge in these rules. Walsh and Tierney have both sustained injuries kicking off the ground so that has meant they don't take many.
Gleeson has the range but his radar is way off.
Surely he could be worked with and developed into a consistent free taker?

Otherwise we need to find someone else - even if they otherwise wouldn't make the team it would besiege playing someone who can kick them as the rewards are so high
