Hit two targets that I saw for the whole game..Roo and Kosi once each.
Great that he can find the footy but he really has to think before he disposes of it
AND there's more chance of Paris Hilton joining the nunnery than Gram ever winning a hard contested ball,
even when it's Grams turn when he happens to be the closest player to the contest, he will shirk it, hang back and not commit his body 100%,
only player in our team that does it,
oh yeah and his kicking........ appalling skills, need/needs to work on this ASAP!

So you want him out of the side then?
No, but a truckload of viagra wouldn't go astray, unlike his disposing of the pig skin!

I wonder if the Geelong forum are talking about Joel Corey's performance, wondering how St Kilda would punish them for Corey's mistakes. Corey had 8 clangers today. Gram had 6. Gram's turnovers don't tend to be deadly. He gives it up forward of the centre often deep in attack. He had a couple of almighty shanks today.
Overall clanger count for the day:
Geelong - 43
St Kilda - 34
Geelong are facing the top pressure side in the comp next week. We are not.

I think you'll find Corey is being drawn and quartered during a special showing of "Arrgghh the Cats downunder Pirate show" at Smorgy's on the Bay tonight...just like Gram is here at SS...
Maybe throw Grammy on Corey next week and see who can lose the game as they have 70 odd possessions between them.

So we are going to look at both negatives and someone look at how we perform less poor kicks than Geelong?
Either way this game is going to be very interesting

Interesting stat....Billy Brownless on SEN at half time in that game was moaning how the Cats often get 30-40 in front then get "too cute" .

Gram has been butchering the ball all year, not just this week
and i agree with Barks, that he is unwilling to put his body on the line and take a hit when its his turn, and he fair dinkum dogged a contest against the Roos a couple of weeks back, which was a disgrace
Good player, just butchers the ball, needs to improve
Barks has it - shirks the contest and butchers the footy too often.
Just because you have a reputation as an outside receiver doesn't mean you're entitled to avoid body contact when it's your turn to take a hit, lay a shepherd or execute a tackle.
This is AFL, there's a minimum standard required and Gram is sadly lacking in a couple of key areas.
This post from bigfooty seemed apt:
Q: Who is the most overrated player at your club?
A: Gram, flat track bully. He looks a million bucks when lobbing the long goal on the run from outside 50m, but there are serious questions over his hardness, tackling, ability to win the contested ball, awareness and footskills. He also has a horrible tendency to hang the ball out to the right when going for extra yards and shank it more often than not.

Maybe not typed to the best of my ability
Why bother comparing clanger kicks between the two sides?
Geelong clanger kicks we due to them getting a little ahead of themselves, ours aren't
You could see that from Brisbane?
Also going to Geelong games its easy to see
The game is killed off by quarter time, they get fancy and botch goals
Like us against Essendon and Carlton and Port and Freo to name just four?
Wasn't comparing clangers but weren't you the one that stated Grams clangers would cost at least 5 goals? Mabye it was someone else - however if our forward line clangers result in 5 goals - Harleys there must result in at least 8.
Stands to reason?
of course not. Who is Nostradamus here and can predict - at least 5 goals in a game in a weeks time from Saints clangers when the Cats made 10 more?
really silly premis IMHO. ( As I said mabye it was another posters who predicted the five goals due to Grams clangers).
Lance or James??
