Put a supporter from the crowd in then. Culley was pathetic.

Big calls need to be made at selection. I am sorry, if we try to run out with the same team to 'redeem' themselves, I will be livid. McDonald > Heath - Move Petty back. Windsor > Laurie - Windsor needs to show some form of desire to get a game. Tholstrup > X. Taylor - Tholstrup is not a halfback/defender and made way too many silly mistakes. JvR > Jefferson - Luker can come in if they think he is better. Culley > Rivers (if fit), if not Onley. - Didn't get anything out of Culley, a supporter from the crowd would've had as much influence. Salem > AMW - Injured and he is the only half back we have.

6, Pickett 5, Petty 4, Gawn 3, Sharp 2, Sparrow 1, Howes Anything under Petty played average. Anyone not listed awful.

That's the kind of performance that just breaks trust in everything. King will earn his money this week. Pathetic offensively, pathetic again defensively and then soundly beat out of the middle by B- opposition players. If you're in our team and you walk off that ground, how do you not feel embarrassed? Disgusting performance.

Who do you think JvR is?

Kozzy and Gawns look as Caddy takes what was an uncontested mark in the end should be replayed to Turner, McDonald and Lever all week. Pathetic 1 on 1 today.

This is a pathetic game.. absolute pathetic. This is how you undo 4 weeks of good work. Absolutely pathetic. Windsor and Culley have been atrocious. Melksham and McDonald look shot. Absolutely disgusting.

King needs to put his fist through one of those boards. Tholstrup, Turner, McDonald, Lever, Salem, JvR, Langdon, Windsor, Melksham and Mihocek have been gutless

Lever, Salem, McDonald, Turner, Howes are all very one pace. Teams with mid/smalls with pace cause enormous problems. Xav Taylor gets a gig soon surely?

D. Turner can not hit a target to save his life.

Xav and Darcy aren't NGA prospects either. They seem to have confused and mixed NGA and F/S prospects just with kids training with the seniors.

6 - Steele 5 - Gawn 4 - Salem 3 - Melksham 2- K. Pickett 1 - Sparrow

Turner needed to cut in his line and compete. Why he thinks he can out leap him I don't know.

Turner and McDonald getting soundly beaten.

I would also factor in the cost $ for parents to get kids into programs (like soccer) are absurd. The Australian FA (likely due to lack of federal funding) has pushed the cost onto the kids coming through. Many Australian kids move to England/Scotland/Netherlands to join Academies over there because the cost is just nowhere near as much. Problem with those academies is that the churn is brutal. The clubs that own them need to make sales to justify costs.
