Martin was far from our worst.

But he keeps dropping chest marks he should swallow. Not good enough. Great teams in their prime don't have players making these repetitive mistakes.
There is a lack of accountability in this side and Cripps and Voss need to churn the list until they find players who are prepared to give 110%.
I loke owies but his dropped chest mark at a crucial time was just terrible. IMO he shat himself. He will get a reprieve but he's now on notice.
Williams kick in. My God. Someone with so much experience kicks to a mate surrounded by 4 Dockers. Terrible.
Setterfield. This has been going on for weeks now. I can't recall the last time I saw a player lack so much grunt. He looks like he should be knitting with the old ladies. His fight is just not there. Repeatedly loses one on one's.
Durdin. I know he's a midget but he simply must compete in aerial one on ones. He will never take the mark but at least contest and maybe the other guy won't mark it one day. Just pitiful. He did this last night and last week. FFS contest. David can at least unsettle Goliath with a bit of effort and grunt. Take that little angry look off your face and actually play angry. Not good enough.
Newnes. I gave him a pass last week bec he was the one who delivered to Charlie to kick the match winner. But time and time again his reaction times on the field and kicking skills just arent at the elite level needed.
Cottrel is another one I have backed and again lst week the one on one mark against a top flight opponent at the death was impressive but last night he was the invisible man alongside Sandra Bullock. Not good enough. Not enough fight. Weak.
Fisher. This guy shows off too much trying to out do the opposition when dummies and side steps but more times than not ends up outdoing himself. And the handball to the ground last night was just shit. Again at an important time in the game . Good teams make less mistakes. Fisher did SFA good last night.
Young. Yeah we know you're young and need a couple more years in yhe gym but @#$%&! me dead your efforts one on one arm shameful. Fkn harden up and COMPETE. You and Durdin and Setterfield need to be sent to a hard arse boot camp.
Not hard enough and not hungry enough and not trying long enough is the total sum of the team but it's largely driven by the bottom six who just contribute @#$%&! all. Voss needs to wield the axe until he finds players with ticker.
Oddly enough and I suspect I'm on the extreme outter here but I'd keep Boyd. Yes he panics and makes mistakes but it's game 3 you have to expect that. But 2 things he has is speed and a degree of grunt. Theres a reason he has been given a chance in multiple weeks now. Maybe he needs more time in the VFL but I reckon his speed and his want for the contest place him ahead of many of our pea heart players.
