Jade Gresham is a jet.

Would like to see Blake in the centre for a few. Would be a good mix with Gresh, Jack, and Blake in there.

Yeah, Lonie has been pretty good.

That should get a few of you spitting battery acid! :D

If Shane Savage wants put in efforts that weak, he can do it at Sandringham. Will not commit his body.

I've now lost count how many times Geary's poor decision making and pathetic disposal has cost us today. He would not get a game for 17 other clubs.

Would be great to see. Totally offensive.

Blake's disposal is rusty... Perhaps why he didn't get the call up before

Selection persists with the wrong players.

Blokes like Maverick "the big bad wolf" Weller lack hunger. He's an automatic selection, week in week out... He's not under pressure. A raw guy like Connellan or Paton would be playing out of his skin to make an impression.

Sad really

Looking at the stats sheet you would think Geary has had a good game. He has not.

I don't know that I'd go that far, but how many kicks inside 50 has Geary had? I've counted at least three. He should be banned from kicking inside 50, as we know his kicking is far from precise. We need to have our good kicks finding our forwards in good position.

With a bit of match fitness, Acres will turn over 50m kicks instead of 20m kicks.

at this level kicking is a prerequisite which shows how undermanned we are.

At least Geary has crack every time. Leads by example but not our best 10 players. Not the worst choice and probably the best at the moment.

Has crack?

That would explain his decision making at times. Thanks.

I think Mav is a cluey guy... He's snuck off for a great northern or two! Clever bugger
