Its only round 4 shouldnt be resting guys already, need to pick your best side against sides like Freo. Not having a genuine ruckman hurt aswell
It's not flirting with form, it's list management. The days of Chappy and Fletcher playing 22 matches a season are long gone. That isn't why you lost the game. You hit the nail on the head with the ruck situation and losing Goddard early was a massive blow on top of losing Myers before the match. Freo is a tough gig away and not much went right for the Bombers.
You'll bounce back.

One of those days, Freo showed that you can turn it around within a week.
Bomber mentioned in his presser that 5 or 6 had bad stomach bugs and that Myers was too crook to play but the others suited up. A 34 degree day is not ideal if you have gastro id imagine. Saints up next week with Fletch, Chappy, Myers and Ryder back and Bellchambers coming back in the two's so all is not lost but even at full strength we are still a fair bit behind Hawthorn, Geelong, Freo and probably Port IMO
