We lose something when he's doing the role of the angry defender, at other clubs it would be a mongrel tagger type doing this stuff, but other than Lamb we don't have a defensive style angry forward or midfielder who seems capable.
I think we are really missing the spirit shown last season by the likes of Williamson and Macreadie, fancy that, combined with an geriatric like ACoS some kids come in the team and set the tone!

Agree, I dont mind it but he needs to get a bit smarter and learn how to give it but not give away free kicks...he gets a bit of treatment at the stoppages and also at marking contests and i reckon he has had enough of the manhandling with no free kicks awarded...

Doggies look like putting down the Drug cheats.
That probably puts us on the bottom rung.
I hope that generates some motivation for the trip across the Tasman :-\

Brother Elwood, we have been deadset raped by the umpiring this season: watched the tape vs the filth and our blokes are getting frustrated, and I can see why. Some peanut jumps two seconds early and Jones gets done for tunnelling, yet our blokes get taken out under the ball at every contest..... Side bottom gets tackled, throws it away with impunity, we get held for one microsecond and we get done... Surely our luck has to turn in this area, it can't be this bad all season, surely?

Is there any team you support that isn't raped, stooged, robbed, ripped off, or otherwise treated unfairly ? Carlton, Australian Cricket team, Vic cricket team.........

Its the same in most sports Prof...bottom teams get nothing from the umps unless its the obvious free and opposing star players get looked after ie Sidebottom....he drops the ball and its seen as knocked out of his hands, Polson does same and its holding the ball/incorrect disposal...
Jones seems to highlight his errors by looking ungainly, its easy to pay frees against him for that reason....other players are more subtle...Ben Brown gets a lot of frees his way from what I have seen and that worries me the way Jones is playing and I think he needs to reign in his attacking nature and be a bit more circumspect how he goes about defending.
The frees will even themselves out but as you and I know well its when and where you get them.....when we got all those 50m penalties vs Richmond for encroaching the mark I said to myself this wont last and we will pay for it next game or the one after....

Conspiracy theory time.
The AFL will ensure we beat north.
Too many losses and a young team is bad for business both now and in the future.
Combined with Bolton coaching "at home" and North being ordinary enough and the fact that our uncompetitive period coincided with a quarter of " free kick Collingwood " and I reckon we aren't as bad as advertised.
All that being said, a mate of mine got some VIP tickets into the rooms after the Tigers game. Reckons that there is some internal grief in the playing group. We are certainly displaying those signs currently.

Interesting Thry. I have a sneaking suspicion all is not 100% well.

I'll play devils advocate here. If there wasn't some anger amongst eachother after the game, then they don't have the hunger to play AFL football. If they were 'okay' with losing, i'd be more worried.
Sure, its not ideal that their might be some in-fighting, but there was some in-fighting at Geelong when Gary Ablett Jnr was first there. The playing group told him to pull his finger out....the rest is history.
