Very good.

Sparrow   keep playing him.

ANB - agricultural all round

Gawn - love him much

Viney - surprisingly good tonight

Oliver - might be maturing

Lockhart - plodding along  just

May - boy oh boy

Lever - not what was

Petracca - great kick Christian

Salem - completely wasted talent

Jones - just doing enough

Melksham - doesn't do enough

Fritsch - a luxury footballer

Brayshaw - woo wee mcgee

Langdon - good ordinary battler

Weideman - developing very slowly

Jackson - 250 gamer here

Harmes - same, same, same

Sparrow - too early ATM

Hibberd - bloody hell michael

Tomlinson - who, where, what?

Neal-Bullen - see ya later

vandenBurg - up and down

Bennell - great goal harley

yes we can be frustrating but I have read Sparrow is limited and no good, for a kid who has played a handful of games, he has energy. His time may come.

Harmes. A better game

Apart from that nonchalant and classy goal Benell just couldn't get into the game. 

I reckon we have to take the risk and play him regularly to let him work into form

I thought so too. He was in our top 4 players in the first half when everything wasn’t looking rosy.

Agree re Bennell. For me, this year is all about getting up to speed again.

we basically played one short.  unless he commits to put his body on the line, I'm not sold on playing him

Agreed DubDee, it's been a great story so far but now it's time for Harley to start get involved a bit more. His aversion to laying a tackle is worrying. The honeymoon is nearly over.

And Harmes was our chief intercepter. Not bad for 'a guy playing out of position'

Jones :  sadly, time's up

Harmes : much better today

 

ANB : Alas, No Better

         Oliver    Is a WINNER!

        GUS       Has the goods

        Petrac   The real deal

        L J          Is our future     

       Weid       Starting to give

      May         Is The Rock!

     Viney        The Mighty BULL

      Gawn       The Great Leader

      Sparrow   On his Way 

      The Rest   Did their job.

 

If you're waiting for Bennel to start laying tackles you might want to adjust your expectations. Even at his best he laid an average of one tackle a half. Which is what he did tonight. 

He def needs to get more touches. Could have thrown him into the cente or a wing in that last quarter. He needs to build his fitness, pace and ball hunting instinct. We dont need another hard nut tackler/body on line. That's not his strengths.

Brayshaw.... won the game

(His last quarter performance was why he is in the team... it was a little more than putting in an appearance)

Tomlinson.... why draft him

Fritsch - stop leading 2 boundryline
More than 3 words but it's driving me nuts

 

 

Oliver   im a gun

Brayshaw   im back baby

May  yeah I'm unbeatable 

Gawn    follow me lads

Lever    fook u Adelaide 

Viney    me foots better

Fritta    kick to me

Weid    im getting good 

Langdon   let me run

Tracc     I just cruise

Jako    I love footy

Melk    im just starting

Salem   I have skill

Sparrow   yes I can

Jones    that's the [censored]

Bennell   just warming up

Hibbo  need help boys

Tom    easy does it

Harmes   good footballer me

Anb    perfect tackle that

Avb   bloody hard head

Lockhart   intercept , crumb, kick

Did we lose by 10 goals, Weidman, is kick 2 goals a game, Hogan's career average,doing everything you want a Ford to do crash packs and kick the goals when I had the opportunities.

Post 17 above gives a good assessment Dub

lets play him more so we can see his class

He looks... painfully slow too.

If he can't go full speed, why are we playing him?  He's clearly hampered by his body or his mind right now.

Couldn’t agree more. I’ve said it a thousand times. He leads too wide and it’s either spoilt or goes out of bounds. He should use the corridor more.
