I would, but would he be telling me the gospel truth?

Saw a few of the players around today.

Bower is sporting a beard as well. Was in the snack bar, looked at the coffee, went to the fridge and got a bottle of water, stood in the queue, put the water back and went to the coffee again. I gave up watching after that, satisfied he wasn't getting a pie and chips.

Also saw Hoops and his girlfriend after the game. Doing very nicely for himself is Hoops!

carrazzo will do very well in the b&f this year

Agreed. Just wish he could finish off his work better at times.

His 'shot on goal' (aka 'kick it straight to the opposition at the top of the goal square from no more than 30 metres out') early in the last was terrible :grin:

Certainly appreciate the role he played. A couple of goals would make him even more damaging.

Due to injury, I thought this week's side was the weakest for the seaqson so far, and I thought we were vulnerable. However, I'm happy with a 5 goal win, even though we dominated and it should have been a 10 goal win instead. Have to work on our goal kicking, and this appears to be problem setting in to the side. Dissappointed with Hendserson's game, only 3 kicks. Although he presented at times, was not influentual at all. Will be dropped for Waite next week. Of the players brought in this week. Browne struggled. Hadley and Brock were servicable. Can we afford to have two inside midfielders next week? Walkers fitted back into the side and provided good run. Thingsd will improve for us in the next few weeks when players overcoming injuries will come back. How bad is Scotlands injury. Was it an ankle or a corkie?

Henderson dropped? He's improved immensely and is just starting to get his just rewards for an incredible work ethic. There's no way he'll make way. I'd drop Thornton well before Hendo.

I think T-Bird was the victim of hap-hazard midfield pressure. When Kennedy looked good, he was the beneficiary of superb delivery. The rest of the time he was unsighted. We don't really have a proper match-up for 196+ cm, 97+ kgs forwards.

3 Goals, 2 from 50 when the game was to be won. Setup another couple. What !@#$%& more do you expect from him? He's now kicked 24 goals in 10 games in a multi-pronged attack.

Unbelievable how opinions, in spite of overwhelming evidence proving otherwise, are not wavered due to pride.

I agree preacher :thumbsup:

Kicks 3, sets up 2 and involved in another 2.

If he can do that every game....he'd me more than 24 goals; and 24 after 10 id fine.

He was more than serviceable.

Was very impressed with young (and by 'young' i mean 1 month younger than myself

) Hendo today. Worked hard and presented.

I can help but think though that the Lions may have stunted his development a little by playing him down back, a lot of the time today seemed to be getting into contests in the forward line where he played like the defender, behind and going for the punch. But i'm sure all that will come as he is young and very much a project player with a great workrate and lots of potential. Great pickup.

They'd be better, but I'd argue guys like Brown, Kennedy, Gumbleton, etc will consistently be a thorn in our side until we get our hands on another tall defender. Austin might be a candidate, but I don't believe him to be much taller.

I know it's a just a few cms and kgs, but one way or another these types of players - provided they are of sufficient quality - do manage to stretch our defence.

Quite surprised at the lack of comments on Mitch Robinson today. I thought it was his best game for us. He really led the way with some flying tackles and sacrificial acts and despite a few missed shots I thought his disposal was great too.

Surely a defender's worst nightmare to have Robbo coming at you front on and little Jeffy coming at you from behind (NTTAWWT).

Mitch's first goal where he ran headlong into the post as he kicked it is typical of the lack of regard he has for his personal safety and his determination to play for the team. He might easily have slowed down or tried to improve the angle but he was under a lot of pressure so he just kamakazied the post and got his foot onto the ball.
You know you are ging to get 100% with Mitch.
