Straight Sets Simon

I've missed your analysis, joeboy. For what it's worth I think you are pretty much spot on with your assessment.

No, a lot of his "chases" were half-hearted efforts, he just cannot be bothered working hard.

He is just slow, it's not fitness becuase he does everything slowly.

I wouldn't be surprised if Nicholson is brought in to play as a small defender.

Poor Jack had to chase, welcome to the AFL. He was pathetically lazy in the first half. I agree Tom McDonald should be dropped, most overrated player on the list at the moment.

Watts kicked a couple of goals and looked better forward, but he was so bloody lazy today, refused to run and chase again and again. Imagine if he was playing under Joel Selwood and put in the efforts he did today, none of his teammates would even talk to him. How anyone can give him votes is beyond me. 6. Garland 5. Sylvia 4. Bail 3. Byrnes 2. Gawn 1. Grimes EDIT: Notable mention to the umpires who gave Melbourne the rub of the green.

The problem is that Trengove does everything slowly: running, kicking, handpassing and thinking. He wasn't drafted at pick two to just lay tackles.

I still can't believe we let Rivers go.

Scully was almost BOG last week.

It goes back to Daniher as well, he was great at using excuses to try and lower expectations, no matter how realistic they were it doesn't fill anyone with confidence.

That's classic, I don't remember that one.

Life just isn't as funny without it. Some of their stuff was pure gold.

Wasn't Trengove linked through text messages to this?

I like Tapscott and he should be a very good player as he has a lot of positive attributes, but there has always been something missing. He has no lateral movement, almost none at all. Great in a straight line but he makes Matthew Bate's turning circle look like that of Cyril Rioli. Again, I like him but it is a massive limitation.

The more I think of it, Jetta is a massive loss as he is our only genuine small defender.

Brisbane by 50+ points.

I agree, Gawn is the best thing to happen to Jamar.

Those words were pretty close. The same old stuff about training, games experience got a mention as did how well the two captains lead.

He has a record, will get three weeks.

The booing of Scully is the worst, especially because he was just about BOG.

Every week we are a chance, it just depends if the players can be bothered or not.

Easily the most influential player today, love him.

I noticed that too.

He did a lot of rubbish things at the start and a lot of good things at the end.

These kicks should be bread and butter for any AFL player. It's like congratulating him for tying up his boot laces properly.
