Should be reversed until Thompson can chase
He's pretty consistently around that mark I reckon.
It's not that others were worse, he was comfortably in our top 6-8.
Brad Crouch directly gave away two goals, but the rest of his game was pretty good. Certainly getting back to his previous good form.
101 tackles is excellent, but there were passages of continuous tackles for no net positive result. Either the umpiring was against us or need to ping those arms and stick those tackles better.
Ugly win, but at least it was a win. Had anxiety related heart palpitations for over three quarters of the game.

Confidence in the body, confidence in playing at AFL level, getting used to how much time you have or don't have.
He went at 73% efficiency which is pretty good considering he got the most contested footy as well.
Few shanks here and there but others do it as well.
He will get there, I just want to see him get continuity for the years ahead.
When your body has been letting you down it snowballs. Confidence gets eroded, your mind overtakes things.

Good - we won.
Now let's never speak of it again.
Now let's never speak of it again.
They got away with so many throws it was laughable.
Then they ended up getting goals from it.
Incredibly frustrating.

No certainly not he has played 684 far king games in a row!!
I far kone goat!
73% would reflect his lop sided handpass count. His kicking bears no resemblance to a drop punt.

The speed of the game goes up every year. Right now, he is still trying to pick up the pace of the game.
He basically had to start again like it was his first game. He will get better week by week and with another pre season under his belt, he will be a brand new player.
I'm happy with where he is at right now.

Dominant hands and squared up Viney in the first.

I just wish Cameron had more composure with his kicking when he's running at full pace. He's so close to being a gun player, but right now he's almost a liability.
Don't get me wrong.. his tackling is supreme, as his ability to sprint away from the opposition when he wins the ball. His disposal when he's settled is fine (as we saw with his goal in the last quarter). But when he's going at full pace and he tries to kick... dear God he's awful.
If he can fix this one area of his game, then he could be an amazing player. If he can't, then he's going to be one of the most frustrating players we've ever had on our team list. This has been a problem for him all season, not just today's game. He's trying to do too much. If he can just settle before kicking.. we could have a star on our hands.

It was a suggestion of ranking ......sorry, didn't mean worse as in played badly
A couple of times watching the game today I thought he was off injured, Hopefully just young player management.
No confidence in his leg power to buy him time in and getting out/through the contest. With Brad the confidence will come in a couple of weeks. Can't expect anything different after just a couple of games in a row.
I'm critical of Douglas but credit for his past 2 weeks, been pretty good.
Still could be better, just hope he doesn't fade out again as he does.
It adds another vital element to us if he is buzzing around being dangerous.
Mentioned it in the game day thread but Lever got a hit early in the game and was off the ground for a while.
Not sure how long but I didn't see him for a while and his stats didn't move.
Looked to have an effect him, credit to him for soldiering on if so.
We forget he's a young kid in the game still.

Probably count tackles when Melbourne got the hands free. They were also inexplicably able to move the ball on on occasion by just dropping it or incorrect disposal. I'm all for free flowing but rules are rules.

But NikkiNoo told us all to watch for it and we still let ourselves get frustrated. Friday Night Football ( Thursday this week) is when the rule of the week comes in.

My recollection is he may have hurt his arm by the interchange boundary line?
Yeah they're the shanks I meant.
He's feeling rushed on the whole I think, needs to re-adjust to the speed and build confidence.
Hopefully he can get to where he was heading to.

The Good : We won. I was calm through the entire game. I've got a roast cooked. I made a Apricot crumble. Never made one before but its Master chef material.
The Bad: My hubby going off his face at every play. Yeah our kicking and disposal was poor but don't get into my face.
The Very Good: He just poured me a glass of bubbles.
I will not be available for some time to post.
