Thomas does use the ball ok but at his age doesnt get enough of it and Weitering these days is a shadow of the player he was in his first year when he did use the ball well, he is now slow timid and often under pressure when he kicks the ball... an example was when forward he had open space and could run further but didnt have the confidence and kicked the ball too early when he could have been more creative...
- Byrne is a poor replacement for Docherty. He will fly the flag, but he struggles to have a positive effect on the game.
- SPS is getting a little hard done by. Yes, some passes fell short yesterday, but if you are going to miss, miss short. A few of his teammates had the opposite problem and booted it over our heads to an uncontested opposition mark. SPS, is growing into the player we hope, give him a break.
- Murphy didn't have a great game, but when a lot of his game nowadays is getting the ball on the outside, and we don't have a ruckman playing, and you don't have a forward to kick too, he did ok.
- Thomas tries his guts out every game. Without fail he will get a big smother or tap on or some insignificant 1%er that inspires the team. Without his effort, i'd hate to think what the scoreline looks like each week.
- Weitering seems to be hot topic at the moment. I was the one who thrust him into the spotlight for all the 'wrong reasons', that have turned out to be true. So much so that they are even worse than i suggested was possible. He just needs to be dropped. Simple. I don't care if the opposition have 7 key forwards, you can't play him in this form at the moment. At this rate, he might match Tom Mitchells R1 disposal efforts by the time the season is over.
