I think they've got a couple of challenges.

One, how Ben King plays is sort of like a very isolated forward and it feels like the other parts of the forward line haven't been able to gel in a way that connects with him, if that makes sense.

I think if you compare it to Hawthorne and

Jack does so well.

Jack Gunston does so well as a sort of like similarly disconnected forward.

But the other five forwards know what to do and how they play and they get up the ground and they sort of connect and move the ball quickly and get to them.

I just think when I watch Gold Coast and I watch them on Friday night, there's a missing piece about the other forwards connecting with the midfield and that's probably a combination of A, the midfield.

They are probably missing...

a midfielder with just pure speed i think that's probably something that compared to some of the other teams out there they don't have a homes that can go through the midfield and really do that they've definitely got off the halfback you know noble and rioli but maybe they need to get some more pace around the ball and their half forwards and others need to get involved more would probably be my high level view on where i think it's breaking down but there's probably more of a psychological thing going on that

They'd probably be getting frustrated, to be fair, Gerard.

And I think what can happen is you feel like you're just about to pop and get on the other side.

Not that things get easy, but you start to feel like you're in control and then you're allowed to lose one, maybe two.

But when you sort of do what they've had, that can be very frustrating because it's not the story that was being told at the start of the year.

I think they've just got to fight through it.

And just learn to absorb a little bit of this frustration.

Because I do think they'll get out the other side.

I just think there's a lot of pressure on Petrarca to look and make things different in that side.

And I think there are other ways that they can score and win.

Hello to you, Kenny.

Good morning, Gerard.
