Classy skilled player, unwilling or unable to put his body on the line when it matters. Stevens was just as weak overhead too.

Not one of those blokes is capable of doing it. Murphy maybe if he rekindled some of the early career form. The rest, pfffft.
Rowe to me is the Tim Henman equivalent. He has played more AFL games than I could ever dream of playing and good luck to him, but Henman was never going to be more than a quarter final winner in a Grand Slam tournament because he simply wasn't good enough. The Poms moaning non stop from 1998 - 2004 about him not reaching his potential etc....but he DID reach his potential. Rowe is the same. What you see is what you get. He gives 100% and often reaches his potential, but unfortunately his potential is less than what many expect.
If there was someone better, he wouldn't have his place.

"Get rid of ....... " "he's crap"

I do it as well
The problem is there is no one else yet because they are not ready or they don't exist. If our recruiters and past coaches had done their jobs properly we'd have better players to choose from and that helps everyone and makes everyone look a bit better.
Take out Parker and Hannebery and I guarantee that Kieran Jack and Tom Mitchell don't look like the world beaters they looked yesterday. Jack has struggled in the past when he's had to carry the load and Tom Michells ability to cover bigger players gets exposed.
This is the list we have and we can bitch and moan till the cows come home but we can't change anything till draft/trade time.
The best we can hope for going forward is some improvement in existing players, better application of the game plan and development of the kids and culture.
We are 2 games into the rebuild .
Fair points CIMM, but I'd have less grey hairs if Bryce had Nathan Jones' heart. I know no player is perfect..........

Maybe, maybe not, but at least they can hit a target which puts them head and shoulders ahead of three quarters of our team.
Realistically we have about half a dozen players who would get a game at a top four side and Gibbs is one of them.

Gibbs does not hit targets when under pressure. Jason Tutt can hit a target when clear.

I've never seen Simmo butcher it as badly as he did yesterday, his foot skills have never been flash but yesterday they hit an all time low.
Maybe it's contagious.

They have minimum standards of commitment.
Absolute garbage
