Yeah he's a plodder but at least he's giving it his all...not much support though...

The Gibbs incident in the forward line was a bad decision, not a squib. He expected contact from the Essendon* player, intended to keep his feet, take the hit and get the ball off the deck. The player stayed off him and Gibbs wasn't hit and was left out of the contest as a result. Bad decision, looks worse, but wasn't the 'gutless' thing that some on here are rabbiting on about.

We were ok for the half but faded badly. I worry about our fitness. Mick was adamant we are fit. Doesn't look like it.

Our kicking for goal sucks as well.

Credit to Murphy is due. He was quiet early but stood up well in the second quarter when the others went to water.

Wood has responded well. Horrible in first two rounds. Cripps must play every game. He will only get better.

Can't believe we keep kicking to Ellard 1 on 2.

Fair enough re Gibbs. Just on AW that Murphy has a knee issue impacting on his efforts. Why is he playing and what was done over the summer to get it sorted?

Why Ellard ahead of Buckley?

Why?


Got me beat as well


He is useless as titts on a Bull. So slow, so many errors, just so VFL. So we must be tanking not just rebuilding ?
If you rebuilding you play Buckley in front of Ellard.

Crippis is tall, strong, a great pack mark. Reckon he'll end up a marking forward option one day. Waite started as a midfielder and ended up a key position player.

Once again,
the coach fails to instruct his team in how to work against the opposition.
Dickson is a genius.
get Dickson!!!!!
If Mick comes out and blames everyone but Mick again today,
I fear for my TV.

This is just pathetic stuff. We had it inside the F50 for five minutes and they have it once inside for a mark and a goal.
