The first to learn how to influence a game again, the latter to learn how to kick (again?).

LOB too.

Kennedy, SoJ and Gibbons into the guts.

Garlett into a small forward role.

Players TOLD to kick to the TALL blokes - not the small blokes - in the forward 50. Kind of surprised this message hadn't been imparted earlier in their careers!  : :

Perhaps the tall blokes can wear a special flouro badge!!

Get Willo back in ASAP, even if at Simmo's expense.

And big Matty K in ASAP. The smiling assassin.

Not cute dinky kicks - I think 9 out of every 10 screwed up spectacularly yesterday! (and all the mids were (trying to) do it bar Crippa)

Our young mids:

Zac Fisher                       11 9 20 3 0 0 0 4 1 1 83
12Sam Petrevski-Seton 6 12 18 2 0 0 1 7 0 0 73
13Will Setterfield       14 2 16 8 0 0 3 2 0 1 70
14Paddy Dow                 7 13 20 3 0 0 0 3 0 1 69

Lochie O'Brien               10 0 10 6 0 0 1 3 0 0 57
19Michael Gibbons       12 4 16 3 0 1 4 1 0 3 49


Samo 7 tackles the rest pffft. Sam Walsh had 6....are the others simply not working hard enough, are they ball watching, but they need to change their ways...compare to King Crippa, 12 tackles - not bad for a slow bloke!!!

Patrick Cripps               15 15 30 8 0 4 0 12 2 0 163

I thought that we had the better tactics but the advantage we gleaned from that was negated by poor delivery and some rookie mistakes from our first and second year players (Walsh excluded).

Bolton’s next task must be to lock Cameron Bruce and David Teague in a room until they have a common understanding of how the midfield and forward line will work together.

I've probably been Daisy's bandwagon #1 ticket holder since the day he was recruited....and reason being was because he would show the rest of our rabble how to go about it, continually.

It was never about how good of a player he was/is/will be, it was about effort, brains and work rate. He has been to the top of the tree and knows whats required to get there. We cannot say the same of any other player on the list.

We need more daisy types on the list, and we'll 'magically' improve.

Watch the game and see Murphy's lackluster tackling efforts and general commitment to the cause and then make a comment. Don't just look at his stats and say, gee he had 29 touches, a good day out in anyone's language.

I could get 29 touches if I ran around, freely with no tag mind you, and presented like he did getting those cheap kicks in the back line like he did. Then he'd provide a 10-15 metre kick to the wing and would select the easiest option, something that wouldn't necessarily generate anything of note for the team, but would definitely pad out his stat sheet. F##k me, watch the game not the stats!

His last kick was just the icing on the cake for a forgettable soft non-committal game like he normally provides, yet is lauded for. I just don't get it, what are you people seeing. Are you that disconnected from reality that you rely on stats to prove a players worth and contribution to a game?

Bloke has forgotten more about football than we'll ever know.
