This may have been covered, just got to work so haven't seen TC since saturday's debacle. I think i witnessed on Saturday why the pies let Scotland go. He was shocking....soft, disinterested - twice in the first qtr he put in unbelieveably insipid 'attempts' to spoil. how does DP tolerate a guy who just won't hurl himself in to a marking contest. In the last qtr another really soft effort to pick up the ball, missed it because he was looking to see what was coming. I know Houla piked badly once but for most of the game at least he tried.We are a shocking team, so at least pick guys who look like they care. Bowyer won't kick well on either foot like Scotland, and he won't pike either. And give Clarke a go. He can't kick - so what, there's only about three guys in the side that can. Our skills are laughable. At least get guys in the side who care if we win or lose. On Saturday Scotland looked like he couldn't care less. Not much use DP invoking the spirit of past greats to some of these guys. They'd need their manager to tell them who Nick or Doullie were, and then their first question would be 'were they getting more dough than me'.

Rejects are usually players who are deficient in ability or attitude or both, and I guess we realised deep down we were unlikely to get many bargains.

Gee I hope for his sake that Scotland was injured...or his instrctions were "hang off the play..as if you are going to do something completely unusal but brilliant and maybe they'll throw three players onto you just in case"....

If it was neither of these two....he MUST play in the Bullies this week....
BTW Adelaide ...lots of hard bodies thrown around is the way they win, we throw no bodies around...we will get murdered ..probably only saving grace is that they can't kick a record score so it won't be too huge on the board

look up unaccountable footballer in the dictionary and there will be a picture of Scotland. Welcome to the twos.

Very disappointed in Heath. Have to consider whether he is a one-season wonder.

Heath looks to be way down on confidence. He's body language says he's spent.

A picture of Scotland standing next to Campo Stevens and Kouta.

Its laughable at times watching the opposition run forward under no pressure at all. Statistically we have the most scored against us in the AFL, but we are far from having the worst backline in the AFL.

Williams was unaccountable also, but his opponant was too shit scared to leave his side because he was getting 30 quality touches a week.

Has had a bad few weeks and is very down on confidence....well who isn't atm?

I think he asked to leave Collingwood so he could get more opportunities. He was not about to be delisted so I don't know you can call him a reject.

We owe ADP a full apology, I reckon.

Swap Scotland back for Brent Hall.
