Sorry for the intrusion, wondering if Kosi is injured or out of favour? Chance of him playing on Monday week?

I thought he was more gassed by the final quarter, certainly getting run down would suggest thatCJ was horrible. His last quarter merits dropping - switched off abs played for himself
He got injured in the vfl unlikely to playSorry for the intrusion, wondering if Kosi is injured or out of favour? Chance of him playing on Monday week?
that a confidence thing - port did the same against us, and when things are going against you everyone feels they have to be the one to turn the tide, so structures collapseNot sure how many times i seen a Saints player was nearly in possession (not in possession yet) and 2 or 3 Hawthorn players would run at him leaving there players free, just for the saints player to give an easy handball out and they were away. Also when a Saints player was in possession and the Hawthorn players were holding back, staying off them, or slowing down on the chase (thinking they were gonna kick) giving them an extra couple of steps to balance up and deliver instead of going full tilt at them... Frustrating!
Than what we should be doing is playing either Jeka or Callow and using Lewis as the 2nd ruck. Sure right now it's a downgrade because your taking your best forward away for periods of a game but on the flipside your exposing Jeka or Callow to the big time which they need and it allows Nash to just worry about hunting the ball as a mid. Feel like we were just happy to concede we were going to lose the ruck battle instead of trying to find a way to neutralise an advantage they had.We do. They're just both injured.
I was on a piss trip and missed itWell, we will always have round 2 against Port
Maybe - I thought he completely lost awareness of what was around him and started playing for his highlights reel. The goal where the Saints player stepped around him in the pocket was absolutely terrible. He just stopped.I thought he was more gassed by the final quarter, certainly getting run down would suggest that
Doubt he plays next week- is being made to earn his spot under Mitchell. We’ve changed our structure slightly since last year just playing the one true key forward Mitch Lewis along with Jack Gunston as the other tall… so he’s been forced out on the back of that…Sorry for the intrusion, wondering if Kosi is injured or out of favour?

Well unless Sam decides he’s willing to allow Worpel to play the role Worpel wants to play, we have this situation where Worpel plays worse than most others in the team.The relevance is he was playing predominantly midfield when he was playing his best footy.
He’s not a forward and his form has shown that.
It's back onTsatas.
Unusual to see so many players who are usually clean with the ball, fumble or turn it over. Saints pressure a factor but maybe something else as well.
The main positives for me were Reeves and Maginness. Thought Nash did OK as backup ruck. Lewis presented but forwards need to kick straight. Newcombe got some ball but turned it over. DGB had a shocker. Impey very rusty.
The scoreline was very ugly but cleaner ball handling could have easily gotten us into the game.
We’ve got three key forwards in the VFL. And not one of them can get a look in.
I went along today with great expectations, but the only thing I really enjoyed after the first 2 minutes was that the 2's played before the main game. God I miss that part.
Abysmal performance. To see Hardwick continually butcher the ball was horrible to watch. Reeves played really well for someone so inexperienced. It's true what Jack Dyer said, as the game goes on, short players get tired, but tall players don't get shorter.
Worpel's game was a shocker and he looks to have completely lost self confidence. It seemed to be evident last week when he went for so many balls one handed. Shiels and Phillips were the standouts for Box Hill, Long was also good. I would think that Shiels and Phillips will come in next game.
Very good point. It’s easier to deal with when it’s a young team trying to attack and failing. Rather than an old team creaking (hello Easter Monday 2017)We were due for one of these, Better today than next Monday if you ask me.
We gave up sooo many goals from poor skills. BUT
We were also trying to attack, so I’m happier to lose like that when we are at least attacking
Worpel’s only good season was when Mitchell was out for the whole year. I don’t know how you fix that, you cannot have two of this same player in the same team.Well unless Sam decides he’s willing to allow Worpel to play the role Worpel wants to play, we have this situation where Worpel plays worse than most others in the team.
The tail can’t be allowed to wag the dog.
