Someone else was saying that Cairns is missing a bit of stardust this year and I'm inclined to agree. I've been looking at that team and trying to find an MVP but I'm really struggling to work out who it could be. There are potentially maybe 6 people who are going to get up to around 12-15 points on good night, you get 4 of those guys firing, Burston and Bruce put in a few and you're going to win a lot of your games, but there's nobody leading them. I'm going to stick my neck out and suggest that maybe Cam Gliddon isn't the guy they need as captain right now. I think maybe he got away with it last year because they didn't really ever get challenged enough, and until the finals they didn't get challenged that much.

What they need is someone who can drag the rest of the team out of a bad patch, or get everyone fired up when the other team fires it up a notch. Gliddon's been too inconsistent with his shooting to do that, Starks looks lost and low on confidence and Wortho's the new guy.

Not sure what the answer is beyond everyone digging a whole lot deeper and hoping they turn a corner.

Poor substitutions (they seem based on pre-scheduled game plan instead of taking into account the game flow), not calling a timeout when the run of play begs for it, body language on and off the court (more tense/pressured instead of relaxed and calm).

To his credit he adapted last year after being called out on it by the players. Maybe Gliddon needs to have a word to him.

I can't remain optimistic on this one - Cairns will struggle to make the playoffs. The biggest concern to me (though they could all be related) is not the loss of Wilbekin or Downer or the injuries or the FG%, it's that Fearne appears to have retreated back to his old coaching habits of 2013/14.

Yeah it sucks... I had a feeling that was going to be the situation.

Let's hope Markel pulls himself out of his slump.
