Serious kicking liability- anyone’s guess where it’s going off his boot

This is poor recruitment seriously ffs recruit guys who can use the bloody ball otherwise spend all day handing it back

He’s not alone ...

Happily cull Ross, Newnes and Arno from that list in a second. May even get a third rounder for Ross.

I like Luke and think he is important. Worst kick for goal though. When he has a set shot I always say “stop wasting time Dunstan, quickly go back and kick your point”

Yeah, let’s trade one of our only players that look for options.

Hopefully we get a unicorn for him.

Yes very true but Ross is Captain, plays midfield, gets plenty of ball, should be very damaging, but isn’t.

I think Ive found the pattern in your posts t- #1 disagree with poster somehow. #2 seem like the only person with their finger on the pulse. #3 wait for someone to say something else you can disagree with.
Boring, predictable and self righteous. Find some humility - you might find that there are plenty of posters a lot smarter than you are.

I reckon a packet of chips from Freo would be about right. Or lets reward mediocrity once again.

Ross is the worst starting midfielder in the AFL - and our coach loves him. God only knows why ... his kicking is coach-killer101 stuff.

I get that you see Acres entirely differently to me.

I don’t understand how you see him as worth so little.

Dunstan more often than not brings others into the game, he tackles and chases (maybe not catch). Sadly I cannot see Ross doing any of that. The only people Ross truly brings into the game are the opposition defenders and a conference between the boundary and goal umpires.

I don't understand why anyone would see much more...he is a laziest footballer I've seen since Spencer White. Just like White, if you don't consistently deliver on that mythical potential, you're not much use to the club. The vast majority of the crowd near me groan when he sits and waits for the ball to come instead of attacking/fails to lay a shepard/cruises along side the opposition without tackling/slowly attempts to evade a tackle and gets crunched, so I know I'm not the only one who's aware of it. He did much better than usual yesterday, lets see him keep it up for the rest of the season.

A number of players not earning their coin at the moment seroius decisions need to be made at years end we will not be seroius final eight contenders with some of the players on our current list.
Some have been there long enough to show their worth..
A good clean out is needed if we are to improve.

Problem with Acres is he needs to be played as a mid and this rarely happens.
He was good yesterday in the centre and I dont think anyone who understands footy would have a different view.
And from my experience, most people that sit around where I sit have no idea.

I hear all this talk that he'll be a great mid...is there proof? Maybe you're right and he's been absolutely fantastic the last 6 years or so.

Getting the contested ball can be tricky when lining up in the ruck

That is true. I'm not sure we aren't tanking sometimes.
