We must be close to a PP surely.

Tuohy would get a spot on any AFL list, whether he'd get a regular game at the top few sides is debatable.
I obviously rate him higher than you do but we all see different things in different players, his little cameo to set up Casboult for a goal on the 3/4 time siren was top class but needless to say the big log squandered the chance.
I'm under no illusions about the state of our list but players like Zach aren't the problem, I wish we had another half dozen as good as him.

There were positives with some players, SOS, Cunningham, and Buckley pleased me but the biggest negative is the same as other years, we are f****** lazy c**** and won't always work.

Rockcliff 39 possies......think he had 40 plus last time, we seem to be slow learners in the coaching box, not the first time Zorko has kicked our Ar$e either....
Wouldnt bother much with the last two games...rest Cripps bring in Whiley for his last game...give a few other players farewell games like Tutt, Graham, Jones...
SOSOS was my only positive today...cool under pressure and reliable in front of goal......if Ben is better than Jack then we have struck Gold..
Didnt mind young Cunningham either...still very light in the body but did put himself in and laid some tackles...
Bring on trade week and the draft, we need to hit both hard and replace the banana plantation that we have growing at Ikon park...

100% spot on.

Not even close.

Zach I'd like to see move into the midfield. Reckon he'd really offer us something there. Boy do we need it. Anywhere where he is closer to goal has to be better. We have a few players with speed snagging a goal on the run.
At least Levi nailed 4 of them. I'll take 4.2 every week but geez, wish the misses weren't so basic. Knew he'd go alot better with another key forward to take the pressure. We score alot more generally when we have two key forwards, 95 being our 3rd highest score for the year, just a pity a dead set $hit side like Brisbane kicked 15. Grrrrr!

Lack of leadership.....Cripps is already seen as our leader, the bloke who has to make it happen and lift his teammates by knocking himself out in the middle to bring everyone else into the game...its only a matter of time before he gets a big injury unless we can draft/trade in some help for him...

We were $hit in 2014, downright pathetic last year and now lost 9 in a row now. Have to be itching closer surely.

Levi did well today vs an opponent that would intimidate most of our other players....reckon he plays better with another marking target specialist forward...Jones isnt the medium/long term answer but he does try and I thought his efforts allowed Casboult to play closer to goal and play his role better...

That's the biggest problem with him, his foot skills let him down so often that it deflates the whole team.
I don't think Buckley will make it, he thinks he's better than he is and doesn't take the first option, and his skills are only average anyway.
He's quick and he has a crack but you can say that about plenty of players.
We've got 8 or 10 who just aren't up to it, we all know who they are but we keep hoping that they'll eventually morph into good footballers and if they have the odd better than average game we party on it for a month.
They're the joys of being a one eyed supporter I guess.
