Morton plays "frightened". Has done from his first game; nothing to do with his size or weight or .... Its part of him, his make up, genetic if you like. It won't change, its inherent.

Ditto.

What .... slow, poor decision making, poor delivery, terrible kicking action .... not to mention his weight problem. He finds the ball alot, I know ... that's not nearly enough.

When we play finals again (if?), Jones will not be there. We will only play finals if we have mids (much) better than him.

I'd take Rioli in a heart beat (over Morton). And Kreuzer & Cotchin, but they weren't available.

Not quite. If the tiges bottom, and we come, say 15th, with less than 5 wins, we get picks 1 & 3.

Blease (and Watts) were both drafted too young.

Search function does not work.

Sylvia? 1. Turn up more than 1 quarter in 20. 2. Hit some targets 3. Make some tackles 4. Hurt when we loose. 5. Not kick up-and-under-who-cares back line kicks 6. Show some passion for the club 7. Get to training on time 8. Not break team curfew 9. Anything else I have missed If, purchance, you are targetting Bruce , he meets 5/6 of your criteria (and all of mine); that's 4/5 more than Sylvia. Hahahahahahahahaha

Hey Chooka, MFC was the home team today (BLUE shorts!) Where's this pic from?

Sorry Bobby, let me add the extras: Sylvia: 8k 11hb 4m 4t 4 cont-poss 3clangers Bruce: 7k 19hb 4m 5t 11 cont-poss 2clangers I'm sure Sylvia will sleep well. :lol:

When? Sylvia: 8k 11hb 4m 4t 3clangers Bruce: 7k 19hb 4m 5t 2clangers Wow, that was hard. Hahahahahahahahaha

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha And Sylvia stood up? :lol:

Agreed! AND We are NOT last afterall: Freo still under us ( ) on the ladder.

Back on the bottom.

Yep, we won the quarter 1.3 to 1.1 :lol: We're not out of this! :lol:

That's my take too; Sewell was happy to be traded. 20/20 hindsight eh?

Great report. Much appreciated.

Must be good spies Rhino! German's assessment of Valenti: Shane Valenti – Shane was probably best-on-ground with 35 touches. He was in-and-under and won a lot of contested ball. He showed his appetite to win the ball. It was by far his best game this season. I for one would love to see Valenti elevated into the team (Garland's LTI means there is a spot), but don't think it will happen just now. And for the record, German's assessment of Maric's game was good, but less glowing (Addam followed on from his good form last week. He didn't play as high up the ground. He played closer to goal and kicked a couple. Addam showed his agility and his talents around goal). And his assessment of McKenzie may be a sign of things to come: Jordie played seniors and rotated through the midfield. He was very clean with his ball-use. This week he was able to absorb a lot more of the physical pressure of the game, playing against harder bodies and bigger men. Jordie has really taken some big steps and we're really pleased with the way he's going. (Bold is my emphasis.)

Sylvia aside, Bowden is absurd. Running around loose man deep in defence? 25 handball receives, 2 contested possessions (that's NOT hard ball gets)? Junk time from start to end - says ALL there is bad about the tiges. And he gets 7 /10 votes? Just a joke. Richo was easily worth 7 or more, and there were plenty ahead of Johnson in the MFC. These votes are a joke, Sylvia included. Y_M - thought you weren't pumping Silver's tyres any more. Sigh. Here we go again. Oh, and yeah, Bruce was crap - should go back to casey 2's. Just thought I'd save you the trouble.

Sylvia played 1 great 1/4, and 2 decent 1/4's. Bailey in his press conference said kicking the 2 goals from outside 50 was important, and getting a couple of hard-ball gets, but he was no better that any other player; "he needs to build on that". What does he need to do? Play 4 1/4's out (he ran out of gas early today, despite having a full pre-season). Play consistently over weeks. Simple I for one, need convincing.

Great to have a win, except we have to remember: it was against the bottom side. Although Freo now have that honour.

Then be disgusted with Cale Morton and the number of contests he squibs, starting with his 1st game last year. Christ, you can be a wally!

For 1 or 2 weeks til Robbo is ready.

39 tiges is one Daniel Connor. A very young lad playing his 9th game. Does Rivers no credit at all. Be different if it was a, say, 75 game plus player. Hope Rivers is one of the 1st to defend Cale Morton next time he is intimidated physically. He had a chance last week with Lade. Just bully stuff.
