Just heard that he had 11 possies. Hardly saw him. If he's not in significantly better shape next week, we probably be much better off with someone who's fit.

He was a liability today.

He hit the ball very hard in the last quarter. Saved the game I reckon.

Didn't do a hell of a lot all though the effort was there, clearly not 100%.

Is Eddy a better player to play his role than armitage playing his type of role. Armitage could be massive if he played up forward with his tackling pressure and actually kicks some goals too

Tough calls here. I think it was a mistake taking Gram into the game. He was clearly hampered, his play in Q4 was a game saver.

Just watching the replay now and I think he had more influence on the game than I thought, heaps of just of the play efforts, pressure and harassing the opponent. Would still like to see him break open the play more though, hopefully an extra week will help.

On the end of some suspect handballs and fumbled the ball a bit. Obviously the fumbles are on him, but if he's handballed to under pressure...

He was meant to be 90%...a query on that.

Seen him chase? He just cant go. Swan burnt him off and Gram waved for backup.

Totally agree noob Armo should play as a defensive forward before Eddy. Also l love Grammy but if Ross is saying Gardi was off the ground b/c he couldn't sprint at 100% then what about Gram he is lucky to be 80%.

Just watched the replay and agree with ealier posts - he had more influence than his possession count indicates.
Yes his kicking was off, but his ability to find the ball is important.
Had some very very important spoils.
And of course THAT last minute play.

He plays next week.

You always have to compare to what's coming in.
Having watched the last qtr again I tend to agree.
Depends how he pulls up and whether he's had injections etc.
Has he made it worse, or can he get up again.
But agree having watched again he may well hold his place.

No dash whatsoever. Clearly not fit. Was watching the warm up directly below me and even then he was barely going at half pace.

He's been a bit off for a few weeks. 11 possessions isn't great! Today wasn't all about stats though, for it was very hard to get kicks.
