My point is, other clubs may see value.
Personally I think we are closer now they are gone.
That group wasn't taking us to the promised land, just giving us a Richmond like tease.
We need two things from a trade. Good picks and move on the cancerous mentally weak types that don't GAF.
E Curnow turns it over a heap but at least he shows the level of application that is required.
Give me that over Murphy and Gibbs any day

At halftime and Lingy was interviewing Sqibbs, Bryce said when they work so hard getting the ball into the forward line then a goal is missed it's hard to not drop your head.
It really must take its toll.
On Sqibbs he gets all his possessions at half back or on the wing. ALL easy linking passes that clock up the stats and NOTHING ELSE.
He is not damaging. We need to tear up his contract and make him play for a new contract each week. He only plays well when there is something in it for him.
Oh and Sqibbs, WTF is with the long hair? So 90's. :

They don't run to the right positions and they don't make it easy for their team mates. When was the last time you saw Hodge, Lewis and Mitchell gut-running to cover turnovers or fast ball movement from the opposition? It just puts too much pressure on our defenders and causes the midfield to run out of gas.
When was the last time you saw Gibbs or Murphy bent over hands on their knees gasping for air because they just sprinted up and back 20 times? Have you ever seen it? These two are the crux of our problems, they and Kreuzer who is just forking awful. Let's call Collingwood back, maybe we can still get that drink for him?

A side that doesn't believe it can win. Probably because we miss the few easy chances to kick goals and then concede multiple goals in a row.
Yup I'd agree with this, also a lot of our senior players lack heart, which is required in situations such as the one above.

Re the retreads, Elwood's man Wright has been a great pick up and Kerridge despite his average kicking definitely has a future at our club. Boeky was average last night but also has a future IMO.

Has this been confirmed or just a hunch on how he looks. Heard nothing from the club and commenters didn't mention anything.
Was never quick but looked either unable or hopefully not unwilling to run.

Superstar is used loosely but this bloke will be one of the competition in the future. 26 disposals, 80% eff, 1 clanger, this kid has got it all.
On our ruckman, 38 HO to their 19!!! Were ours playing for them and giving them first use FFS? I think I will watch a replay and have another look, I was watching while out so I couldnt really concentrate/focus on the nitty gritty.

It was reported last week that he copped quite a bad corky, I'm assuming that carried over to this week.

He also banged up his knee late in the PS training, its been heavily bandaged so it cant be fully right. Anyway, lets not focus on Cripps because he isnt the problem. Even if he was 110% fit, the senior blokes around him are doing SFA and thats the bulk of the issue right now.

Mate I feel asleep in the third quarter, body still hasn't adjusted to daylight savings, kept drifting in and out, every time I opened my eyes they'd kicked another couple.
