Kennedy. Played injured but puts body in. (20 games)
What is he capable of?He will be fine, don't judge what he is doing at the moment as a sign of what he is capable of
Who were you quoting?
No.
Fully agreeLeadership
Not just character but experience
But for me character is important.
Lead the way when the chips are down. Show some balls.
We lack that badly. Our captain racks them up but does he inspire??
Thats because we have a couple down there that are slow and hardley lay a hard tackle the sooner we get Lange in there the better.Well....
A night where it’s hard to find positives I thought this
Weitering seemed to get into some touch in the second half
Cunningham needs to be looked for by team mates as a designated runner and kicker. He creates time and makes pretty good decisions
Charlie keeps progressing, he took a lot of attention tonight and still impacted the game
Fisher keeps on working into games
We are really lacking with forward half pressure, and speed in the forwardline. Without this our structures fall apart. I have serious concerns about Bolton’s ability as a match day coach. I am not sure he is capable of making adjustments to the game plan when teams get on top of us. Hopefully I am wrong.
Sorry but it's not the numbers. He looks so far out of his depth it's hard to watch. Is a player who needs time and space and where he and this midfield are at, he isn't going to find itDisagree.
If he is getting 11-15 touches he is better served in the seniors for his development.
Ok..so Weits, Jones dropped, Marchbank injured, ASOS and Byrne both injured next few weeks. Backline for next week?
Mate the guy is a limited footballer, playing in a poor side with a poor defence and midfield, he kicks 4.2 and plays back up ruck.
How he is copping flack is beyond me, he always tries and would be better if we were better.
Spot on we just dont have enough run in the side losing those players is crucial because we have so many young players just starting their careers .it's funny listening to a lot of the negative stuff right now because I actually don't think we are that far off.
Coming into the season we knew we were a big side. That's not a problem in and of it self if you can generate enough run from your smalls. This is what is currently killing us. Lack of runners. So much easy, un-pressured ball coming into our defence that it doesn't matter who is defending. No easy ball coming into our forwards and easy rebounds from the opp.
Take into account the personnel and this is not suprising..
On our list, this is who I consider AFL standard runners:
Simpson
Murphy
Docherty
Cuningham
Pickett
Lang
Byrne(usually takes around 12 months to get up to speed after big injury)
Williamson
Fisher
We are light on in that area to begin with, but over half of our runners are unavailable!
We have as many injuries as a side like Collingwood, but all our unavailable players just about are concentrated in an area which is critical for us.
Go and have a slice of cake mate like i did last week .It makes you feel better and you don't really mean it once the dust settlesWhat's the point anymore.. same old shit for the last 15 years
Would get absolutely monstered on the ball. Shouldnt be playing AFLPolson. Played small forward and couple of classy side steps. Like to see him on the ball. His spot (3 games)
need a midfield and a balanced defenceShow me someone in the seconds who has better closing speed than Jones He hasn't been as bad as you think
While I believe we need to be patient, that was as bad a 4gl loss as I can remember - I think they kicked 10gls in a row plus had 2 posters when their 3 leading goal-kickers from last season are outit's funny listening to a lot of the negative stuff right now because I actually don't think we are that far off.

Cunners looked good when he had the ball. Lot's of composure.Alarming;
*1 goal between our 4 small forwards tonight; Wright, Polson, Garlett & Lamb.
*Cripps looks like he's injured / sore again. Took a knock to ribs in 1st qtr.
*Kennedy just not finding enough of it.
*Ed Curnow just not having any damaging effect. Can't even tag anymore.
*Weitering still devoid of confidence.
*We don't have the skill level to intiate this quick game plan.
*No running half back flanker with speed.
*Have guys in the 2's that simply cannot put more than one good game together.
List could go on...
Going to attend a rare live game next week at Bluntstone. Lord have mercy on my soul.
Another year of low expectations
