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
I'd suggest that says more about how player rankings are determined than it does about how well James played.
I thought he was generally quite good- I imagine that whilst the coaching staff would be obviously disappointed he didn't kick more goals, they'd be happy he got himself into a position to be able to take that many genuine attempts that you'd normally expect him to kick. I expect him to be in next week and I'd be rather surprised if he missed.

C'mon swans what's the scan results if Tippett's knee, is it weeks, months or season I am desperate to know.
Umpiring did not cost us the match, but the familiar poor treatment we get from umpire Schmitt is a worrying trend. Watching heeney get completely whacked in the back of the head in the centre of the ground and play on was the call. Numerous free kicks were not given especially where a swans player is about to grab the ball and his dragged off it before he has even touched it. Use to be holding the man, obviously a rule change. Still think last weeks game took a bit out of our legs and convinced we will come back stronger. Not worried about the performance, only Tippett's injury.
Three teams played last night. Us them and the umps. Schmidt needs to be looked at.
I am enjoying Jones' development. He is getting some valuable footy smarts, didnt give away a free (hallelujah) and was at the contest. He is cooking along nicely.
James must learn his limitations and if he cannot kick over 40 then pass the bloody thing.
Kiz was injured and could barely hobble at one time.
The wet match played a big part. A lot of those boys were playing in gumboots.
NOTE: One day the club Physio is going to cost us. He is too often on the ground when he should be out of the way. He has no, absolutely none, sense of timing. No sense of place. Give the runon job to someone else, he is a menace. Never ever noted a doc doing what he does. Or a trainer. Had to be chased off the ground by the ump while one of the boys was going for goal a couple of games ago. He was trying to stop him playing......
If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhood
Agree about Schmidt. Just watched a painful replay of the game and he was so one sided when it came to free kicks (against the Swans) it was really bad.
But certainly the umpires did not cost us the game. We were slow and did not apply any real pressure to the Giants.
Cunningham is a waste and should spend a long time in the reserves to get some form back. Parker is not fit - he cannot run.
If we don't beat Melbourne next week we will struggle to get a home final.
Only been to Spotless twice and seen us beaten easily twice.
The "experience" of their game day was terrible. After every goal you just about got blasted out of your seat by the game commentators telling you who kicked their goal and to start barracking for them. In the quarter breaks in was non stop noise over the sound system.
Despite all the pats on the backs by Giants officials, there were plenty of empty seats. This was not a sellout.
Not going back there again.
