Not funny or clever or appropriate, but nothing that wouldn’t be expected from you
Thanks for the personal insult.

I love our jumper and hate to see it compromised by this cause or that cause.
We'll wind up with 22 different jumpers for 22 "worthy" causes.

Just leave it alone!

We gotta hang on to Billings.....in case he does something

Not going to win a premiership with guys like Ross in your top line midfield and a bunch of injury prone players in support

Ross misses a sofa, can happen. his effort set one up earlier, but he could have run almost to the goal line.

Billings has been poor. As have a few others who are making no impact

Forward gets injured

Then what?

We are clueless
You only get one sub.
There are how many positions on the ground?
Sometime you aren’t going to get a like for like when an unplanned injury occurs.

If two of those four can get in the game, we win this.

Why is Ross a part of the forward group.

I'm liking Clav
Ckavarino has looked at home - composed , good tackling/smother and best of all he uses it well!!

Some other spuds on the list ought to take note

Ross wouldn’t get a game in top 4 sides period. That’s your problem.

We have some of the dumbest footballers in the AFL playing for us, until we stop:
- kicking around the corner w/o looking
- kicking for distance w/o looking
- kicking off the ground
- not kicking to our forwards advantage
- falling to the ground
we ain’t going anywhere

If Buddy had his jumper stretched as much as King has, he'd have 5 to half time. That said, King needs to keep presenting & make repeat efforts.

The only thing coaches have to do is get players into positions where they can utilise their strengths

Not hard.

Agree with everyone regarding our skill levels, confidence and second guessing themselves has a lot to do with it.

Is Clark playing? King needs to chase when he, inevitably, doesn't mark it.


As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
