I'd rather he could take a mark and kick goals

The TMac story is outstanding. Full credit to him. I am full of admiration for his focus and determination. But lets not sugar coat the fact that for 2 years he was absolutely terrible - even by his own admission.

Media going the full wazoo on Essendon last week - baby bombers mk 11 The Dees that knocked off ladder leading Bulldogs was younger than Ess as well.

Look, I think he's a bust after 5 1/2 years. Should he be given more time? I think so but not in the 1's. He should be ripping it up at Casey and bar one game I can recall he's never done that. We are probably all seduced by his finals game against Geelong where he attacked the ball and the packs and kicked I think 3 goals. He's never done that before or since and its like we're waiting waiting waiting for it to happen again. Well at some point you have to say It aint happening again. Or if it only happens once every 25 games or so whats the point? We're lucky that the side is winning. If we were losing the calls to get rid of him would be deafening. He adds very little to the team. He doesn't even shut down their best defender. Andrews had a field day last night. I hope like anything he can get his act together. But I think its unlikely at this point.

I am sick of the media. Just read the report in the HSun. Said Zorko would be stiff to get suspended (for a deliberate elbow to TMac's head!) but Tom Sparrow would most likely go - which would be ridiculous - Sparrow turned his body around to shepherd the ball and Rich ran into his back!

No question it is Oliver. Taken his game to another level. Outstanding improvement form an already high level. His fitness is highly underrated and his kickinghas imprived out of sight. TMac is an awesome story too.

"people' would complain. Nice straw man argument. You were backing them on OMac too. How did that go? Sam could be anything. He's a world better than OMac for example. But 5 1/2 yrs he has shown very little. Even Max showed something to keep himself on the list after 5/6 yrs. Would be interesting with Sam if we were losing games. The calls would be much louder for him to go and for Sideshow to come in.

OK so I'll ask you two questions. 1. What does he have in his game aside from the fact he is tall? 2. How long do you think we should give him if his exposed 'assets' remain the same?

This is the point. He's 5 and half years into his career. The jury is well and truly in already. Aside from one dominant display at Casey and a final against geelong he has done absolutely nothing. He can't kick simple goals any more. He double grabs marks. Put him back to Casey and/or trade him. He's a bust.

And who rarely gets separation from his man. At least he could have tried tagging Andrews but Andrews was one of their best. Fail on all counts.

M Brown > Weid

Clunk it well? It was a chest mark

Excellent!

Watched the replay, absolutely putrid umpiring. At least 7 obvious push in the backs in the first half Bs free to Charlie Cameron in the last 4m to go 8m to go a lions kick in and they had a runner in the 50m arc Daniher spun 360 and the ball his the ground, then he kicks, play on. And we hit the post 4 times. Weid is a bust. Bring in sideshow bob

We've played 24 second half quarters this year We've only lost 6. Thanks Burgo

2 goals to fritsch Get your hand off it. 1 was gifted to him in the goal square He's been useless. Watch the game

TMac, Fritsch, Neal Bullen, kozzie, weid, melk , hunt, petty, 3 possessions or less Lift your f'n game

Missed tackles are terrible

23 push in the back decisions not paid. Wtf is wrong with these umpires

We're not switched on at all

Weather tonight looks ok. The radar is suggesting the rain will bypass the stadium..

I think that was Neale being named...
