His ol man was tough as nails, unfortunately Dylan didn't get those genes.
In a game like today you may as well play Harry, we lacked a target on a number of occasions where they took easy marks. Time to cut the cotton wool treatment and blood big H.

We will excuse him of course because of his age and experience however more is expected from no. 1 draft picks. As I said in the in game thread, the ONLY player on our list that fills me with any sort of confidence when lining up for goal is Matty Wright. Its a sad thing to say really.
Casboult was almost in the goal square on no angle, most players would have to miss on purpose.

Not enough Forward entries and we dont have the quality mids to deliver the footy......made worse by the fact we have a winning ruck but we are last for clearances or close to it. We cant ignore the facts our midfield needs a rebuild.....

I don't know if it's better or worse than Mick's, but it matters not. It's just crap full stop.
And the elephant in the room has no colour designation. Just sayin.........

With injuries and a drop off in form we run the risk of a disappointing finish to 2017. Our lack of depth is being exposed and severely highlighted by our VFL teams recent performances. Our senior core has carried us for much of the year but they have started to waver and we are now looking really vulnerable. We may pinch one or 2 more wins this year (and I pray that one is against the Bombers) but otherwise we are look like falling away which will tarnish many of the brave performances we have put in this year. I hope I'm wrong and would love nothing more than to see one more spirited bounce back by the team. Looking forward to the next 6 weeks with much trepidation.

A few other players with no future are getting a run, time for us to see what he can do. Even if he brings the ball to ground he'll have more effect than someone like Sumner.

Well the positive, we didn't give up. Managed to keep it from the blowouts of yesteryear.
The negative is our injuries are costly because we lack depth. Mids and fwds particularly. Ed and Cripps out is more than we can cover ATM.
The reality is we need more quality and time for youngsters to develop. Getting games into them is unlikely to result in wins...sniff... :'(
Hope the injuries are not too serious.

a) isnt hitting his KPIs in the 2s
b) lacking confidence
what is getting belted and not getting a touch in the 1s gonna do for his confidence?
