Well, a fair part of what we saw yesterday can stem from inexperience, and the natural tendency of young players to run hot and cold at times, I guess- still no excuse, but these things invariably are a factor of course.

That's not the explanation for someone like Miller though, and his deadweight days outnumber his good ones by a huge margin. If he doesn't get replaced by Lynden Dunn next week (he kicked 8 for Casey yesterday btw), then I'll be pissed.
yep. We have a few more quality A's and our middle tier is probably way ahead. Our youngsters have a few years on yours but there is plenty of potential there. Compare things to 12 months ago and you must be happier.

Oh no question mate - obviously my expectations from week to week were a fair bit lower at that point too.

And particularly since the Brisbane game, we know we've got the capability to play at that level, and the key things we need to do well to win these games are easily identifiable. For instance, every good match we've had this year, we've had a high tackle count (hence high general workrate), won a lot of contested ball & clearances, and played through the corridor effectively and often.

The Demons should actually give Dunn an extended run as a key forward at AFL level. I could be wrong, but he usually seems to be used as a defensive forward or midfield tagger from what I've seen.

Exactly right Damon, well said! :thumbsu:

Plenty of us have been saying this for a long time now as well- hopefully he'll finally get the chance he deserves up forward.
 
I know you hate Melbourne but dont drag me in on it.
Nah, I don't hate Melbourne. I don't hate any club actually, but some of the supporters are just such total flogs they need some trolling. If they didn't then the Bay wouldn't be here. :)

Flower = Morton btw.

Pretty handy for an under-weight KPF who has only played eight games I would think.

Lolz keep up the good work. Someone needs to highlight Jackies Progress, whether it is success or failure.

He played?!? :eek:
 
212256.jpg


He was magnificent today. At one stage he took on 4 Saints players in a pack and still won the ball. Presence and confidence in spades.

Methinks a few people should be feeling the scalding touch of reality on the back of the neck right about now :D
 
magnificent is a bit much...

he played an inexperienced player's game today. done some very nice things and made some big errors.

he's still got a long long way to go.

Made one error. Went for the ball too hard instead of the man and thus wasn't goal side of his opponent. Shouldn't have been caught out in defence anyway.

Very good game from Jack.
