1. Still no support for Cripps when he had a bad day. Walsh battled hard but he's only a 2nd year player. Curnow battles hard as always but we lack polish and finish in the midfield.
2. Has Docherty played a worse game for us? Fumbled, poor disposal, poor decision making at times......
3. Martin.....playing 20-30 minutes of footy in a game might work in a top side but not when you're one of the bottom 6 or 7 teams. Looks like he could be anything but then just completely stops...rarely sighted after half time. Like many, just doesn't look like he words hard enough.
4. Was anyone playing on Daicos after half time? Thrashed us and got countless uncontested posessions.
5. Dow showed once again he's not up to AFL level....even if it was his first game back. Doesn't get near the footy and when he does, looks like a deer in the headlights and just turns it over. Similarly Polson....got a few touches early but his original opponent was Thomas who dominated in the first quarter. If those two play again it demonstrates our lack of midfield class and depth.
6. Jones...superb again. Would've been a lot worse without him.
7. Hate to say it but the end is getting nearer for Simmo.....been one of the greatest ever Blues players but not sure we're in a position to have him go around again. Need some spark and Williams from GWS as a Free Agent would be handy.
Jones was good again today, Weitering was also very good.
McKay was average and Levi hardly touched it.
Pittonet is NBG at pushing deep forward or deep defensive, he spends too much time spectating.
