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..
Re: Jones /Polo/Blake/Armo/Ray/Peake
Yeah dunno why we didn't send a couple on their way and offer Dawson a bit more.
Re: Jones /Polo/Blake/Armo/Ray/Peake
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.
Re: Jones /Polo/Blake/Armo/Ray/Peake
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.gringo wrote:Wow one more goal and they would be heroes.
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.
Re: Jones /Polo/Blake/Armo/Ray/Peake
Not at all with these guys in the team we are not moving forward but backward ...gringo wrote:Wow one more goal and they would be heroes.
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...."gringo wrote:Wow one more goal and they would be heroes.
No need to sugar coat it - we were horrible. We are carrying to many with sub par skills.
“Yeah….nah””
Re: Jones /Polo/Blake/Armo/Ray/Peake
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.

Re: Jones /Polo/Blake/Armo/Ray/Peake
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.

Re: Jones /Polo/Blake/Armo/Ray/Peake
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

Re: Jones /Polo/Blake/Armo/Ray/Peake
Yeah he wasn't great but he had 14 possesions at %64 efficency rate which is ahead of Peake, Stevens, Armitage, Ray and Gilbert.Middo wrote:Thought Jones was our worst today just in front of Armo .....WinnersOnly wrote:I agree with playing the kids - but having said that Jones & Polo did ok tonight.

Re: Jones /Polo/Blake/Armo/Ray/Peake
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.

When Harvey played his first game in 1988, I was a 12yo wearing short pants and struggling with my readin', writin' and 'rithmetic in grade eight. Now, I'm a father of three and a retired AFL player. And he's still going. Amazing! - Michael Voss

Re: Jones /Polo/Blake/Armo/Ray/Peake
Did Peake hit a target?
His hopeless turnovers cost us big time in the GF.

Re: Jones /Polo/Blake/Armo/Ray/Peake
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.spert wrote:So the season is over eh? Looks like Geelong have had it too.
