Not when you consider the number of losses over the last twelve years Cards13.

I have not been to a win this year attended only losses.

Big.

Statement being made.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Unexpected omission!? Looks like the coaches are serious about players who don't perform.

Garlet would want to play a big game.

Good to see Jeff Garlett being held accountable for his putrid form.

And Oxley out for Collingwood. Average player but killed us last QB.

Looks like he will have to wait a bit!

Not to mention Cloke being dropped as well.  He has been putrid but it's still a relief as I had this nightmare of him kicking 6.

Garlett being dropped is 50/50 for me too - on one hand he is such a dangerous player in our forward 50, but on the other hand it sets a good precedent - the moment you don't do the team things and your form drops, you're out.  Good message to send for the long term.

Our Backline looks very inexperience..

Ive said it already but last week was probably the worst game Jeffy has ever played...couldnt believev what I was seeing and Im a big fan.  Maybe he's injured or maybe he hates the wet or...?? But either way with another wet game coming up we cant carry him. We will  already be carrying Dawes.

True, but have you taken a look at their forward line?  It's not much chop either.

[Lucifers Hero 39,811]

Jeff had 3 major brain fades last week:

-when he misjudged the flight of Dawes' kick and ran under it.

-rather than make it a 2 on 1 contest and help Hogan, Jeff waited to run into an open goal assuming Jesse would win the contest.  He didn't.  Ball went straight down the other end. (Ist qtr I think).

- in the last quarter he had the ball outside our 50.  Only 1 player near him, a few metres behind. A paddock in front of him to an open goal.  He clearly didn't want to bounce it because of the conditions.  Fair enough.  But instead of doing it the hard way and run and bend to touch the ball to ground, he took a wild kick.  It went out on the full.

I wouldn't say any of those plays cost us the game.  But all those were at critical times in the game and they cost us.

Love watching him play so wish he was there on QB but not unhappy the coaches enforcing required behaviours.

Is one of those the Gibson contest? I thought that was the worst, refused to take any body contact.

I'd rather him play. Their forward line has worked much better with him out. Although that's also been with Moore in.
