When you include his out on the full shots

18.9 (6) = 54.5%
As per AFL website.

Your a funny one kruddler. Seriously you should be a politician. Sprinkle fairy dust and sugar, hiding in a sand pit ....that's gold mate.

I won't try and argue with you as your too talented in diverting and discrediting anyone that disagrees with you, so i won't bother.

Prefer to spend my Sunday enjoying the replay!

Ignorance is bliss.

Enjoy the replay. I watched a bit of it last night already.

Just take note of what went right and what went wrong.....and why.

Not this week, he needs to make Rance accountable

That's a two edged sword TC - anyway selection will be interesting.

[blue4life]

yes - all players, not just Levi, need to be evaluated on their whole skill set, game day attributes etc.

Unfortunately, his negative (i.e goal kicking) is a big one. Like I said, one good thing, one bad.............

If it was only his goal kicking that would be of enough concern but he turns over too many of his general field kicks as well.
As someone else posted, he's the best we've got at the moment, but let's not kid ourselves about his ability.
He's a very good overhead mark, but so was Brad Fisher, if we want to play in the big dance we'll need an upgrade on Levi.

I'd like to see 1 more tall forward in. Charlie, Cas and Harry would be a lot more dangerous. Kreuzers goals have dried up a bit too and Murphy seems a bit down on his normal goal output. Doesn't seem to rest forward like he's done in the past.

Have to agree with that idea. We seem to be one marking target short at the moment. Hopefully big harry gets a run soon.

On another note, I'm glad we won last night as we've got some tough games ahead - Richmond, Adelaide, Melbourne and the doggies all at the MCG before heading back to Queensland to play the Lions.

His field kicking, like every aspect of his game, depends on his head state. When he starts well, he's ok. Once the mistakes start, then.........

I've said it before. More than anything, he needs a head coach, not a kicking coach. He can't seem to hold his head high once he starts making errors.

If only we could bottle some of the cockiness and blind arrogance that Carey and other top players had. I'm not comparing output, but that sort of attitude would hold Cas in good stead.

If he struggles in the head dept Paul, especially under a coach such as BB, then he would struggle anywhere. That single issue, if indeed the case (and it certainly seems like it), would make other clubs very wary of taking him on board.

I would think so, unless they have a way of overcoming his mental fragility - a way that seems to have eluded us.
