Amen... Could not agree more...

Your list is 100% accurate... In no particular order however... Actually, Polo first, then throw a blanket over the rest...

Shame to include Armo, but the evidence suggests he wont be able to take the next step consistently enough..

We need to get some zip and enthusiasm into the team, I would like to see Schneider, Saad, Ledger, Cripps, Ross along with Milera playing together more. Armo, Ray, Jones, Dempster and Blake really looked bad at times.

Don't think so. Even if we got over the line we expected more against a team that finished second from the bottom last year. These guys would still be criticised.

Overall the team played poorly especially the fringe players. I guess that's why we've got the reputation for having the weakess bottom 6 in the comp.

Not at all with these guys in the team we are not moving forward but backward ...
Please make an argument for any of these guys to get a game next week ...?

No a win by a goal and we'd all be saying "yeah all is good.....we are still warming up from Wangaratta missed game...."

No need to sugar coat it - we were horrible. We are carrying to many with sub par skills.

I actually like Peake in the team, he makes mistakes but he also creates opportunities with his run and speed, some of the others make as many mistakes but never do anything special.

I agree with playing the kids - but having said that Jones & Polo did ok tonight. Peake lacks ticker he allows his opponent front position on nearly every occasion and when he does find himself in front he panics. I think we can fall into the trap of playing the kids too early when they are not physically ready and exposing them to serious inuries. Play 2 or 3 each week rotating them throughout the year!

Shame about SIposs's injury he would have came in next week for Armitage.

Armitage is the most disappointing and should be replaced immediately. Polo is barely AFL standard and his position is shakey. Blake is important because we have a lack of key defenders. Ray is being played out of position. Peake stays because we lack leg speed.


So... Armitage & Polo out

Ledger and Ross in

Yeah he wasn't great but he had 14 possesions at %64 efficency rate which is ahead of Peake, Stevens, Armitage, Ray and Gilbert.

What was wrong with Ledger?

Polo is not up to it. Geary's decisin making and skills are shocking. Peake I think is OK. If Siposs was playing in Adelaide today his season would probably not be rooted like it looks like it is tonight.

Didn't Port finish bottom? We are shyte! It's simple! Too many duds!

Did Peake hit a target?
His hopeless turnovers cost us big time in the GF.
Hasn't improved :evil:

No it's not. But the writing is on the wall. We were pretty bad. Geelong on the other hand were pretty good. We need to improve 100%. Geelong don't.
