chook fowler

On a different note love watching mad Mick as Carlscum get flogged. Priceless. What an ego!

Guess I have more faith in our decision makers than in the past. This years group of players recruited would support that.

Bet he does because Freo will be resting quite a few and the opportunity to play against his old side. Reckon Morabito will be in as well.

Our list is still 1-2drafts away from a top list. Roos main aim was percentage improvement this year with wins being a bonus. Despite the disappointment and frustration at a loss I think we are on target and those with poor work rate and skills will be moved on.

Listening to Roos presser I think he was pretty pizzed off with Watts lazy, careless disposal. Expect his ears to burn in the match review.

Bet Sylvia has a breakout game against us. We always resurrect careers for the opposition

Blease must finally get a go. Terlich seems injured but should be dropped anyway. Kent and Salem have done nothing for 2 weeks. As for Nicho, how he got a game this week I'll never know. JKH will definitely come in and Tapscott and Georgiou should be considered. Barry and Gawn to keep their spots.

Main positive is the come back - in previous years would have lost by 100 after such a poor start. Need to get some players with decent skills onto our list.

Nicho - Shouldn't have played Watts frustratingly lazy disposal Terlich - outlived his usefulness Kent - poor for 2weeks Jetta - loved his effort Barry - deserves next week Grimes - best game yet Viney - shut down Libba Salem - needs Casey time Bail - doesn't offer enough M Jones - same as Bail Umpires - should be ashamed

You can't play a half and expect to win. Too many passengers - Salem, Kent, Nicho, Terlich. Thought Dom Barry showed a bit and should be given another go. Maxxy and Jamar worked well in tandem. Grimes played his best game in years and I think Frawley is better down back despite his odd brain fade.

The game can be summarised in one word - DUMB

WTF was that!

Agree. Looks like KC was spot on as usual. The lack for a forward presence is the problem. The stats for the mids seem OK but had no one to kick it to. Points to a draft priority -who knows how Fitz and Spencil will be in the future. Unreliable at best I would have thought.

Maybe as a defensive forward. Could be the sub also.

The VFL generally is in trouble with Bendigo Gold folding. Casey could be next so where does that leave the competition?

Steffens Martin -another really good game

Apparently Roos tore strips off them last week. Rightfully so.

Our lack of run and pressure allowed the good Norfolk to emerge. Brisbane are fierce at the contest with a superior work rate.

Might be using a straw for a long time as well. Hope he had a mouth guard.

His knees must be a big concern.

Goes to show what a stinker we played last week.

And Bennell

With the way football has evolved the tanking fine seems more and more ridiculous and shows how lacking in spine the administration at the time was for putting up with it. Couldn't imagine Bruce Little from Essendon accepting it - or Peter Jackson for that matter.

Interesting insight and sounds like he was badly mismanaged. I also heard at the time his attitude to training was really poor and effort was lacking. No doubt he had talent and I was excited by his first season. Real shame the way it turned out but I would guess there are faults both ways.

Also need a defensive forward on Murphy - he sets up a lot of their plays.
