Asked to count the zeros on his contract

Nibbler is badly out of form - has slowed down and getting caught too often. I think he needs a break. Weed must go surely - again zero physicality.

Viney Gus Trac Fritta Spargo Hibberd

Please no more talk of Lobbe - hopeless player. The hair says it all.

If anybody suggests Spargo be dropped I will personally administer a barbed wire enema

Jackson has checked out - weak as

Weed - no stats. That’s a worry

Viney you absolute star

King is a non-entity. No point in responding to his drivel.

I’m ready - defibrillator charged, pacemaker checked, catheter in situ and cannabis oil close by. Bring it on.

Finger extraction time.

Don’t forget Viney who also has given a long term commitment and his form has been as good as anyones.

Jamie Elliot? A free agent so would cost nothing and could be a good addition to our forward line.

Multiple premierships don’t hurt either.

put him back to the wing now.

viagra would be more apt.

There is a bit of grandstanding in all of this methinks

not really. Frustration is the main emotion - glimpses of good form that are not sustained. Kozzies 6 in Alice was a real joyous event and have liked watching the progress of Jordon on the wing. Clarrie continues to amaze. Otherwise - meh.

it is pretty clear - 14th for pressure acts this year vs 1st last year. Intensity has to lift. No change in game plan will make a difference unless the appetite for the contest returns.

Can't compete with Northbridge.

absolutely correct. I felt we looked to be getting back to our Grand Final form on Saturday but a few silly mistakes cost us - and yes we have a lot more sore players than same time last year.

A lot of players are below par due to nagging injuries - Gawn, Oliver, Langdon, Lever, Rivers, Salem, Brown and probably Jackson. I think this explains our current position and I doubt it will be corrected any time soon. My expectations for the rest of the year are quite low.

I thought Salem lifted in the second half - will improve over time. Sparrow was great in the first half - can’t understand calls for him to be dropped. Pleased for Weed and Melksham, the loss certainly wasn’t down to them. Tomlinson and Rivers seem most vulnerable. Langdon had a down day and isn’t the same since coming back from injury.

Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda. 3 critical mistakes- May’s lazy disposal, Fritter and ANB and the Kozzie missed set shot. We let this one get away.

Rivers for Bowey. Lever for Tomlinson. Chandler must be close.
