Worst game I have seen from Bell.

Hendo just has no confidence at all atm.

Worst game I have seen from Bell.

He's had a good year in a crap side. Entitled to a bad one.

Why did Henderson kick a mile back to the middle when Casboult went down to create an option? Poor Barker looks so bemused.

With the way the Kangas pressure us to turn the ball over, and how well they run in numbers forward, this last quarter could get very ugly for us. Very ugly indeed.

Hendo just has no confidence at all atm.

He knows he's leaving and probably feels like a twat pretending to be in on the whole game plan.

I was screaming at the TV when I saw that. I feel sorry for Barker. His senior opportunity is completely shot now.

Carrazzo a liability, already thinking about life after football and head not in the game, was directly responsible for the last two north goals, called for it with Casboult and was too concerned about the ball and let Ziebel get clear and goal side.

It's got to be deflating for the players out there like Murphy, Cripps, Buckley, Kruezer, Simpson and Casboult to have other senior players out there looking like they're only half interested. Hard to compete when three to four of your senior players are not interested.

It's a side looking for finals versus a side looking to just finish the season.

I like Goldstein as a footballer, but does he have a special rule where he's allowed to hold in around the neck in the ruck contest?

I DO NOT WANT BARKER AS A COACH!  HE IS FAR TO SOFT. WHEN YOU TEAM IS BEING ACCLAIMED AS BEING SOFT, WHY WOULD YOU ALLOW THIS ONE-FINGER CELEBRATION?  IT CLEARLY LOOKS EFFEMINATE.  WE NEED TO SHOW A MUCH TOUGHER ATTITUDE.  A SMALL THING BUT VERY INDICATIVE.
