    A bit hard on one missed tackle from TDL when others have got chance after chance. He created 2 goals directly through good play and maybe gave up one goal through a soft tackle. This is much better than Tadgh every game as he has directy lost us games and it doesn't seem to matter. Coming into a hot game like that was a huge ask! He did ok.

    Sorry, don't agree. Instrumental in 3 or 4 goals and was obviously underdone. Just get him fit and expect that he will be the one subbed in most games.
    We have them where we want them, everything is going according to plan!

    I'm not sure TDL was that bad given he hasn't played a lot and came into the team as an emergency - why is his missed tackle so much worse than the two dozen miss-kicks that cost us during the game - it was a mistake (he miss timed it) rather than a lack of effort.

    I think he will come good because he has shown what he can do - he just needs a consistent run of games and to play at his best consistently. I see no reason he can't do that.

    If Jetta, TDL, Reid, AJ and Parker all develop and play consistently as well as we have seen them to in bursts, then we will have a great team in years to come. So keep em in the team I say
    LIKE.

    What is the missed tackle re TDL? Was it in the 3rd quarter, deep in swans forward line?

    Need a video reference to translate from memory to keyboard.. but at one point Kennelly lost us a goal, he had a bomber cold (the guy was waiting for a handball receive facing away from kennelly) tadhg just needed to stay goal side of him, but he went past and the guy was able to either kick himself or pass to someone who kicked a goal, i dont remember which.

    It was worse, it wasn't just a mistake. I was the softest, softest outside runner you've ever seen when I played, relying so much on silky skills that I qualified for Abstudy*- and I would have tackled the body harder than that.

    He isn't a lost cause, no reason in my mind to expect he won't improve.

    * Sorry!
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    Tend to agree - it was just an awful awful effort, and he'll cringe every time it's replayed (which no doubt will be a lot) but I think he stills has an important role to play. Would have him spend one night at training this week doing nothing but tackling for 90 mins and then tell him to go home and watch tapes of Kirk & Bolton for hours on end.

    Terribly tough on Mummy to being going solo vs the likes of Ryder & Hille - he'll be stuffed. Not sure if this is the week to bring in a second ruckman but it will need to happen at some point.

    The games TDL has played this year he has had those "awful, awful efforts". Collingwood practice match as good as stamped his papers with "SOFT". He avoids body contact at all costs.

    I agree with this.
    I think everyone is being a bit harsh on TDL. I noted several times were he was tackling or providing a serious physical contest. He misses one tackle that the commentators crucified him on and everyone wants him gone.
    Watch the replay and you'll see he has a defensive side to his game.

    In addition Kenelley must go. Malceski would do his job ten times better without the stuff ups and the hearts in the throats of the supporters.

    Pretty much the whole Carlton team do as well & look at how well they are going. He'd do very nicely with a club like them or Essendon whose game is based on pace not stoppages and strength.

    WTF? I must of been at a different game last night....I thought he was a liability, he dropped marks, one that sticks in mind was when he had no pressure on him and spilled it which resulted in a bombers goal. Re the changes, I think rohan should get a go if fit.

    Rohan played a half of reserves, pretty optimistic to think he'll be in the 1's this week.

    TDL is a bean pole. What's he supposed to tackle with? He could if it was round the bootlaces but wrong code.

    I don't think Jack was reported unless it comes under match review but a back on back is hardly worth reporting.
