I wanted tackles and 1%ers and I think we got that.
Graham needs timem on the ground to adapt to the pace. He's never had that.
Buckley has earned a starting spot.Army gives it everything.'Bell had another bullish game. Couple of dropped marks didn't look good, though.
I think the umpires gave them more latitude witht he footy than they gave us...
Bring in more runners. Yarran out injured. Bring in BB.
FFS play Walker up the ground. Maybe the wing or HFF and tell him to run every time he gets it. Same with all the quicks. If we run the balll from HB as often as we can, the forwards will have an easier time of it.
Don't know about Jones. There has to be a better option. White? He played forward a few times last year and took marks and kicked goals. he is too small to look after a key forward. Not his fault but he does give grunt and effort.
Thomas is a shadow of his former self. If it is lack of fitness and match practice, he has to play more. If he is just stuffed we have made a huge mistake. I hope not. He shows flashes.
Hendo hasn't had a decent game for a year.
Casboult's set kicking has improved. Now he needs to work out how to have more of them.
This season is now about finding out who wants to play footy for the Blues next year and forward. I don't care if it's Armfield and Ellard. If they give us 100% every week, they are worth more to the club than someone who just runs around the park. As Kieran Jack said after the game, as long as people can play their role, they have done OK.
What we need now is a light at the end of the tunnel.
What we need is the tunnel - went to the game and have never been so flattened at a game.
Woeful skills, slow as a wet week and no run or flair (thanks mick). But does anyone think we are ever a chance to have forwards in the forward line - and not all back......and can anyone explain why we stack the back line leaving their backs free in our firward line. They seemed to have at least one loose man in our forward line..........beyond me. Too crestfallen almost to care...
