I couldn't believe how woeful we were skill wise tonight while being crucified by the men in peuce but, if you think about it, we were still in the game for most of the time and, with a bit better efficiency, could of even won. I don't know why the skills have dropped off so much.

I don't know what's happened to him lately. He used to be so good at those marks running back into a pack and taking the mark. Tonight there were 2 or 3 instances where he could have taken one of those marks but just didn't go for them.

I don't particularly like Gilbo as a footballer but after a woeful start tonight, I thought he really got into the game halfway through the second quarter and really attacked the ball hard. I think every kick and handball after that was good.

He might have turned the corner tonight. :wink:

Anyone see Lenny on the footy last night?

He looks like he's lost a lot of weight from both the face and body. Is it possibly something to do with his knee (I heard he may have had an infection) or am I just imagining things?

Great write up To the top.

I like it. I like it alot :D

I would just say that Johnson should be played forward and may be able to be a big gorilla forward (like Dawes, Cloke, etc). It would also be good to see him as the actual full forward for at least a few minutes a quarter.

"how many youngsters have worn our colours this year? Have you actually watched a single game? Embarrassing for you..." I have watched all the games. Of course we have played the most kids since sliced bread (and GCS) but that is hardly the point. Just about everyone on here has said virt...

Who do you drop for Ledger? Ask yourself that question. Gamble maybe? But was excellent last week and coming up against his old side who he played well against in Round 1. Raph? Different sort of player (although personally I think we have one too many half-backs in the team). Peake? No, been in go...

We are knocking on the door of a final eight berth, so any experienced player who is showing some form, will get a senior gig over inexperienced bodies who are still developing, no matter how promising they may look. Clearly Kosi defies that trend and is so far off form that it aint funny. Geelong'...

I don't mind trying to win this one, before the bye. Not sure what this means?? Were we not trying to win the last few weeks, or with youngsters (who all did well) in the side??.. 3 out of 4 games, we did actually win?? Looking forward to next week's inclusion of McQualter in the team... Then it'll...

Back to the Future with that side or reliving the past? That side has been good but not good enough when it counts the most. So much for playing the kids. :roll: The kids get one, maybe two weeks if they're lucky. How's that enough time to get into the hurly burly of it all? I'd like to see Sippo ba...
