Petrevski-Seton looks to have got fitter and quicker and his disposal is a lot better....would be a waste taking him out of the middle. I just think with Newman, Simpson and Thomas playing back along with Plowman, Garlett is a liability. If his job isn't to shut a bloke down (which he's no good at anyway), then if he's only getting the ball a dozen or so times in a game he has to be absolutely spot on with it when he gets it...and he's not. I know none of the blokes I've listed have got that breakaway pace but that's not much use if you don't do anything with it.

Divisive player is SPS... Playing on ball looks like he could be anything, but nothing comes of those stylish possessions. I think he needs a defined role to stop him drifting through games. I reckon he is perfect as that player exiting D50 with his evasive skills and kicking. And he's a good tackler when he can be arsed ( he gave up a few times last night).
KISS... When they have the ball you tackle the bloke next to you... When we have it, run and carry to your heart's content. Andrew MacLeod was the best I've ever seen in that role, and this bloke could be just as good. But as a midfielder....far from convinced.

I don't think his disposals around the middle are always that damaging either - too many of the short dolly variety for my taste. I like to see what he could do exiting D50 also and his tackling can be very good, as you say, when he can be arsed.

I thought SPS was our best user of the ball.

At one stage in the 1st qtr I think, SPS and Garlett approached the footy on the ground and they both appeared to slow right up and look at the ball, look at each other before one picked it up. For mine that was a good look. Look I don't know what his role is, I'm just a mug observer from over the fence. But to me, his role certainly doesnt involve:
- Body contact
- Picking up a man
- Putting his nose over the footy
- Tackle an opponent
Loves to guard space, lots of it in fact. Pretty good at it too.

pre game thread, Flyboy77 said:
“The last 4 clashes with the Tigers...
1. We would have 1 or 2 poor quarters.
2. We get overrun in the last quarter (young blokes getting tired).
Will the trend stop tonight?”
I think that can pretty much be said about any of our games over the past however many years, unfortunately.

I saw that and a seperate one where there was a picture of Eddie Maguire who was talking on TV and a tigers supporter was mooning in the background.
They're all class.
