the man personifies everything as far as i am concerned

absolutley brilliant

living in another country, having to put up with the radio with all the tight games is sending me crazy......but i'll take them all when we win

16 contested possessions to Kouta, 17 uncontested to Stevens, give me KOUTA any day as a leader.

Dammit, I was listening to News Radio taking the 3LO call...and they cut away after speaking to Stevo...

What did this dodgy Liam guy have to say for himself?

I wonder who it could be? What's he saying????

kouta in the guts always made the difference
he must be struggling for fitness, otherwise don't understand why he was spending any time in the forward line - time in the first and third he was down forward we were cut up

good leadership from Kouta

When it mattered most,Lance stood up in that make or break last quarter.

Last quarter specialist this year.

Those 8 points are in a big part due to BIG RED.

It was a good last qtr performance, but he should've stood up all game

Yes how silly, he really should average 20 marks a game and at least 8 goals. What a bastard, what a brilliant red headed turd he is.

Would much rather it if he went missing for 4 quarters instead of 3.

Bloody bugger that he has got us over the line for 8 premiership points so far this year.

Selfish prick.

Do some goalkicking practise, and mentor young people with terminal illnesses you bastard.

I think Effes has a point. If Lance does what we know he can over 2, 3 or 4 quarters, even less brilliantly over a longer time, then we will be better placed to win matches, rather than have to come from behind....again.

You're always gonna get the "good...but" supporters...they're are funny bunch. Rarely happy. Don't know why they bother.

I think it frustrates a lot of people that Lance can be SO GOOD, but can also go missing just when we need to have a steady hand steering the ship.....

If he was a hack, you wouldn't see any criticism of the level that Lance gets.

You give me a list of players who could do what Lance did in the last quarter and then we are talking.

They are very rare.

If Carey could do what he did over 3 or 4 quarters he would kick 10 goals a game, all the time.

It is those BURST quarters that make for great players.

To expect Whitnall to do what he did in the last quarter, 2 goals and assists resulting in 1.1, would mean that a four quarter effort would be 8 goals and 4 assists. Yeh, that is realistic on a regular basis.

I reckon Effes' point was valid Jarusa - yes he has been vital in both wins kicking some big goals but I certainly expect more of a four-quarter performance from someone like Lance.

We all expect more.

Would have been great if we had kicked 30.30 210.

But you know we played pretty badly but still won, despite the Subi curse, despite 2 interstate trips in a row, despite the lack of leadership.

Can any of you be a little bit happy for ONE SECOND?

Hardly the only one to only play one good quarter!

Now, you know that's not what I meant.

If he had a solid 4 qtr performance and ended up with 4 assists and 3 goals, we'd be saying he had a great consistent match.

And Carey could pull it out ALL MATCH when it was needed. Remember when he single-handedly beat Freo by himself? Kicked 10 that match and buried them. At Subi.

Burst players don't just happen. They burst UP from a solid consistent base they build over a couple of weeks, or over the length of a whole match.

I haven't seen the whole match yet...I'm in Sydney, it's going to be alate one for me...so I'm not in the best place to judge...yet.

I'm a staunch Lance-phile, but if he's "pacing himself" through the length of the match to have a good last quarter, that's not really good enough. There will be matches that can't be pulled back from the brink like tonight. I don't want to see Lance put in efforts which amount to no more than too little, too late.

You've convinced me...DROP HIM!!

didnt think lance was that bad in the first few quarters actually - he contested ok when the ball was delivered reasonably
