Lang and Ben Silvagni are just oxygen thieves.

Ignorant comment. Young kid who should be building body and confidence in a development team, but that pathway was scraped. ‘Oxygen thief’ aimed at a young kid just starting out is very harsh.

[Thryleon]

gee, they look VERY disinterested today!!

Time for a new VFL coach?

[crashlander]

It is all over. We were thrashed. Lack of run around the packs. Polson wouldn't have helped.

Garlett is a complete spud......
Schumacher another turnover merchant.....
Lang and Ben Silvagni are just oxygen thieves.
Kennedy has got a few touches but doesnt influence games.
Fasalo..one good pass but not much else..

Owies looks a neat player but not sure about senior material, TDK is promising, Fisher gets a lot of ball but doesnt hurt the opposition much...
Goddard has been ok, Lobbe ok as well...

Oxygen theives? I usually use that term for the scum of society not footballers trying to have a crack and do their best.

[Lods]

Jack for Murphy and Jack back next week for someone else...
We don't have a lot of depth

We weren't in the same ballpark.
Hard to comprehend we're paying some of those players to job jog around :-\

Both lazy, both dont chase and I'll call it like it is, if you want to be weak and not call out players because their old man is a legend then be my guest...building your body doesnt mean lack of effort or jogging behind players pretending you are trying.
Ben's attitude is his problem , Owies wants it, gets better each week and plays with intent, if we want to get better we need to get rid of players who wont go hard
and get some who do and play like their life depends on it.
So sick and tired of supporters with Navy Blue glasses on who make excuses for lack of effort when there are kids out there who would cut off their arm to play AFL footy...its not a birth right, you have to earn it. Jack goes about it the right way and Ben should follow his lead...

As for Lang the sooner he is cut from the list the better, as someone else suggested just jogs around looking the easy kick with no second efforts.....ditto Garlett who has a good look before he involves himself and then if its too hard waits for another sucker to do the heavy lifting...
Tom Wilson is really missed, gives effort and shows the way in terms of intent, not the most talented but even at 176cm/76kg you know he will chase, tackle and give effort....
