[Guest Thomo]

Sounds like most were pretty good. Most players got a good review, so you must be happy with the performance.

You know we actuality lost to one of the worst teams of the last few years?

[DeeZee 7,397]

Very harsh on Green.

Was muuch more effective than Howe and kept presenting.

Could have been the difference had he started.

Missed two crucial goals and if you look at his recent form was lucky to be a sub. Tiges sub did more.

Difficult angles and went close.

Now Bartrams from dead in front??

OOPS!

Jones - Working class man!

Rivers - smart, solid, efficient

These boys were both good from where I was sitting...

[mrtwister 652]

OOPS!

Jones - Working class man!

Rivers - smart, solid, efficient

Agreed

[bing181 9,242]

Scully - six hundred thousand?

[drdrake 3,178]

Morton - soft as butter - Now that is downgrading butter. I would much rather play with one short......plays with no heart, I think the only reason we play him is to try and improve his value...I cringe everytime he goes near the ball.....were you people at the same match I was at???

I'm no Morton fan but I thought he played OK yesterday, he hit targets, he seems to have sorted out his short kicking, a couple of passes inside 50m were the best I've seen him kick the footy over 25m since coming to the club and this has been his big issue. Defensively still needs work and he needs to continue to work on his attack of the footy but we was good yesterday.

[mauriesy 7,299]

needs to continue to work on his attack of the footy

He's not alone. I'm tired of watching most of our players waiting for the opposition to take possession and opting for the tackle, rather than making the ball their first priority.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

morton needs to spend all summer in the gym. he has been in the afl system for a few years now and has the body of a 17 year old.

He doesn't need to turn into a bull a la' Tapscott, but he could do with putting on some KG's and general thickness to his torso. Then we may see a change of "hardness".

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

Could have been the difference had he started.

Could have been the difference if he kicked straight.

For a captain to be the sub. It tells the story.

Difficult angles and went close.

Now Bartrams from dead in front??

As an impact player he had little. Cant win the contested ball and the two opportunities he had he should have nailed at least one of them. The first shot in particular was on a 60 degree angle at 45 metres on his preferred kicking side. He poked at it. The other goal was gettable but he did not even go close. As Captain who has had little impact on the game he needed to make a mark, a statement. Another instance of the leadership. His set shots for goals this year has been deplorable. A most overrated kick.

Bartram's shot was at the same position to Green's first shot on the other foot. Sure he missed but it was the only black mark when Bartram had subdued Cotchin for most of the game.

[PeterJames 46]

Some people will never be happy with Morton, his skills were good yesterday, maybe a couple of errors but in todays footy every player has them. He does need to get bigger but it will happen. Another preseason under his belt will help. He beat his opponent yesterday, even though it was another Morton!
