Increased esteem as he survived the Robbo experience. A really considered bloke. I reckon we are very lucky to have him around the place.
Always loyal

Occupation: Professional Footballer
Career Highlight: My debut this past Saturday with St Kilda
Best AFL player seen: Gary Ablett Jr.

Actually I thought he seemed a little tired in the legs as he ran around the ground.saynta wrote:Not so good this week. He has a long way to go IMHO
Just a thought.......... could it be the impact of last week playing at Etihad for the first time? One always reads in WA how the WA players often complain of leg soreness after a game at Etihad, especially the one's who have never played on its surface before.
I would image Holmes has not been exposed to playing on the Etihad surface for a full game........ or has he had pre-season games there in the NAB games?

Yep because so many turned up because an American and Canadian were playing against each other. Lets be honest it wont get an extra person there. Probably no tickets anyway.

Re: Holmes to debut?
Struggled against Swans but glad Rich subbed Hickey. Hickey was very disappointing. Twice got out marked by Grundy when we were in the contest and dropped his head both times. He should never have been out marked. I saw yesterday why Longer is the preferred ruck at the moment. Hickey has the ability but the bard edge is develeoping. Longer edge 8 as hard as it gets.

Hickey got out marked but Longer wouldn't even have been played forward. Both are natural ruckmen but Hickey is being asked to do something he isn't very good at. Longer wouldn't even be asked.

Re: Holmes to debut?
I think Hickey plays better when he is the only ruckman. I think they should rest Holmes or send him back to Sandy, play Hickey in the ruck and have Bruce ruck when Hickey's resting. Getting Bruce up the ground might help get some of his confidence back as well.

Re: Holmes to debut?
What about Holmsey's kick It looked 60 - 70 metres. He has to stop hand-balling. Maybe the coach should instruct our other players to hand-ball to him after that kick.

If to do, were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor men’s cottage princes’ palaces.
The fault, dear Daniel, lies not within the stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings.

Not overly amusing but at least a little clever. I'm just not sure the motive.
