Joeboy, are serious about Harmes????

Harmes = error after error

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Bit of a weird one tonight.

Stretch had 17 touches, not sure how he couldn't find the ball.

Jones had 29 touches, so I wouldn't have said he was 'quiet'.  Wasn't one of his better games but he still had an influence.

And Harmes couldn't get near it all night, and made some poor turnovers as well.

I also thought Pedersen was better than 'limited'.

The rest, however, are spot on.  Hogan is desperately out of form, Viney had a bit of a shocker, and while I loved Kent's game he still made 7 clangers.

My 3 word analysis!!!

Neville Jetta- Best On Ground!

                       That Is All!!!

                       You Bloody Beauty!!!!

Kent- stupid costly errors.

by my count, directly assisted 3 of their goals 

[Canplay 634]

Pederson :. What a bump

Hunt  : best game yet

Harmes is tough and relentless, but you are right he is becoming a turnover specialist.

His kick out on the full, from a mark at the start of the 3rd quarter, started the Port comeback, with his direct opponent marking and goaling from the free kick. 

I am starting to think he should only play forward, where he can apply pressure, kick an occasional goal and not kill you with his poor disposal.

Salem, Melksham and maybe Hibberd will improve the back flank.

Maybe Harmes can improve his disposal in the off season, as it is a major problem in his game ATM.

I think Stretch is going to be a very good outside mid for us. He always makes the right decision, has pace and good disposal.

Jones was in there all night, just some of his disposal was off.

Hogan IMO was our worst player. His miss from about 20 was critical at the time and he seems devoid of confidence. His few possessions up the ground, took so long to give off, our forward line was flooded. This is a bad part of his game, he needs to work on. Wasn't limping and seemed fit enough. Has hardly kicked a goal in his last few games. Hopefully has a cracker against the Blues.

Viney had a hard tag and was the subject of several assaults, without even a free kick.

Seems Hogan is in a bit of a slump. Hopefully he can pull himself out of it. Mind you, I thought Port's big defenders did a pretty good job. Watts is in cracking form and didn't get a lot of clear opportunities (apart from that one in the last qtr). 

You'd think Hoges and Watts will kick 7-8 between them next week.

[praha 11,236]

Some here really overreact about our young players, and put errors under the microscope. When Oscar started, he could do nothing right. "SACK HIM!" "BACK TO CASEY!" "HE'S NOT READY!". Now one our better defenders.

Harmes had a solid game. Worked hard, won some nice ball, made some mistakes. It happens.

I love these, joeboy. First thread I read after every game.

Oliver:   What a goal!

Swap Buggs comment with Garlett and it'll be close
