Gees he was good we were all so good and we stuck it to the 18th placed side who couldn't kick straight.
He was putrid the first half and has zero physical presence out there

Broke even2nd half was fantastic. Redeemed himself.
Let me know if it was just a dream!I’ve just got home from the game too, where I went from shaking my head sadly at his game to ecstatic clapping, and want to watch the replay to see if I really witnessed it.
The kick out on the full in the 2nd quarter, that missed the target by 20 metres was a low point.
Then he killed a contest in a 1 on 1 on the wing which was all heart.
You could see his confidence grow as the crowd got behind him and he started to get more involved.
Then the tackle on 3 quarter time and goes back and kicks the goal.
And finding Bailey for the match winner.
There’s a footballer there but the one thing you can’t trust is footballers who can’t naturally bring their A game to the contest week in week out.

New role, so I’m prepared to give him a few more chances.Great second half, but you can't trust him, and doubly so in the defensive half.
Can he regain that trust? Maybe, but i doubt it. How many chances should he be given?
to coin an old phrase, not the kinda bloke you would want to depend on in the trenches,Great second half, but you can't trust him, and doubly so in the defensive half.

We can't, under any circumstances, play 2 of Fisher, McKercher or Stephenson in the backline. Im not sure we can even play one of them there.

The Corey McKernan reference is accurate and I never doubted his effort. Sometimes I think guys like Stephenson actually forget what kind of intensity they need to bring to a game to play well. When they do bring it and start getting rewards(eg his last qtr) the penny can drop. As in ‘oh yeah that’s what I used to do. Huh!’Watched the replay - sleevo looked invested and pissed when baker kicked their last goal.
I remember Corey Mac when he was out of form - the more he tried the worse he played.
Don’t mind him on the wing for the last few games and see how he performs
Well here’s another nerdy stats man who never played a game in his & knowsabout football. Welcome to BigFooty Gerard Wateley
He wasn't flying early but it was hardly as bad as made out. Got beaten tight on the line (whatever, it happens) and shanked a kick down the line (right kick, skill error, shit happens). Solid game. He's hardly safe as houses on the list but there are few guys that should be more nervous than him, next year he would want to be doing well though this time of year.
Jaidyn answered the nuff nuffs on Saturday. He played a very serviceable game.
Does he make errors? Yes, he does. Does he impose himself physically? Not a great deal.
But when it was his turn on Saturday, he went. The tackle and goal at 3/4 time was significant. Even copped a nuffie spray when his kick 'looked' short but had enough on it to clear the line.
The bloke has limitations, but its time he got the "supporters" full backing.
Ha! One good qtr in the past Season & the sum …Hey, turns out you were wrong
Supporting a petition to have the Coach removed makes you a gronk, though.Ha! One good qtr in the past Season & the sum …
Doesn’t make me wrong ….
If he finds his groove on the wing like he showed on second half Saturday, he’s probably above Stephens on the wing for me.Shocking 1st half, redeemed himself in the last quarter. He'll get cut end of 2025, he doesn't have it between the ears to perform in pressure situations in the heat of finals, same with Stephens from what I've seen so far. Can't trust them.
