    Only need one word for Clarry - "Selfish". 

    Prefer to give away free kicks than work through the tag. Made it all about himself and not the team.

    Lucky to play.

    Very very lucky 

    I don't think he's a natural mid 'deever'...reckon he would be better with the ball coming at him plus we haven't replaced a bull like Hibberd coming out of the backline who can match up on those strong mid sized forwards.

    Got to try Sparrow somewhere to his and the teams benefit.

    I agree with this, but whilst Tracc is not available Sparrow will stay in the middle. He is a big lump who does lay some tackles. Ultimately i would like to see him at Half Forward, because he can kick goals, but it just can’t happen at the moment. Viney needs help in the middle

    He's such a tough one, has some really great attributes (which have faded admittedly); a great set of hands in the air, can roost the ball and is pretty physical. But he can't seem to find his rhythm. I had really high hopes for him as a midfielder but these days I'm agreeing with you. Half back might work well.

    Sparrow's best game for some time IMO, but agree not to level he ahs been previously (has plenty of mates you could say that about). 

    Windsor looks tired to me. Needs a week off

    I watched Sparrow's development closely over the past 2 years, as my interest in his footballing talents grew from some great tackles and great kicking for goal (unexpected boomers), allied to an increasing frame and bulk for tackles that dispossessed, stuck and were remembered by the recipients; and,  some intimidation for interceptors when on the run. I do see him as a forward, myself and for this season, expected far greater of him than what has so far been demonstrated; for this, I suspect that he is out of his best position and role, still with great promise, I believe, on the HFFlank and central areas around the 50m mark. He does provide good protection for those coming through with the ball and this, too, needs to be more frequently utilised within the forward line from hell.

    Just opinions, prognostications....

    vanRooyen - have another look.

    Take away his goal and we lost. Gives his all as a second ruck, least of our problems.
