If fans want to know why I'm on the back of Jones, go the stat site and look at the meters gained figures, it's even worse for SPS.

If he is going to lay the intercept role, he needs to play like Dangerflog, and just boot the pill long and high 65m forward. High and long because he can't hit a barn and we need time for our forwards and mids to get to the drop of the pill.
I think it is a huge tactical mistake kicking the ball low and fast forward, we are too slow so we are second to the pill. Watch the replay, you see heaps of our guys kicking the ball around the corner low and fast, they should be hitting it 50m in the air and giving Cripps, Ed, Kennedy, Levi and Pittonet, etc., etc., at least some time chance to get to the drop of the ball.
I watched the game with some others, and someone said to be did you see what Dixon did to Doc, Dixon got all pointy(Knees and elbows) and smashed Doc who'd dropped in front of the marking contest. They asked is he allowed to do that and not touch the footy? My reply was we shouldn't be shocked at that, we should be shocked that we don't reciprocate!
