Fairly dire game to watch, and the bulldogs didnt show much class either bar bontempelli who is a star.
The tail end of the season is going to a drag as players tire and the selection committee give a few players a last chance.
The bads: some of the fringe players proved why they are fringe. Barring further injuries, buckley should think about his post league footy career. This is his 6th season. We spend plenty of time critiquing 2nd and 3rd year players, but this bloke hasn't progresed enough to stay.
Sumner is probably on his way out. A small forward type is a hard position but lamb is a bit more adaptable and pickett is more likely.
Boakhorst is likely gone; just doesn't get enouh of the ball. He looked a bit better today laying a nice tackle here and there but not enough.
Casboult. Enough. Just enough. Free agency for a third rounder or delist.
Kerridge might get plenty of the pill, but his decision making is not league standard. He often gets caught as he doesn't get his hands up to permit a hand pass. High kicks in hope.
The good: we kept at it, only going down by 20 points. Kruezer played well, but not easy with the midfield so limited. Docherty was excellent playing in the middle. He won contests and created. Curnow played a good game, dragging down 8 marks in a game where kicking to the opposition was the norm.
Disappointing day. Cold, umpiring was average (the holding the ball against caleb daniel was rediculous) and kick on the ground was cancelled, so the little fellow was especially disappointed.
