    Umps are stuffing us but we are second to the ball on the ground constantly. Very frustrating.

    He's been pretty good as a defender the past month though.

    Our forwards are non existent. Reid is terrible cannot hold a mark and McCartin is struggling. One major problem is that we cannot deliver the bell to a leading forward.

    Have you watched many games this year. He’s been more than solid since coming back into a defensive role. Tad harsh I think.

    Agree our kicking into our forward line is probably one of the worst in the league. In saying that our kicking skills compared to most of the good sides are way below standard. We've always lacked on that area IMO and someone posted a couple of weeks ago that it seems that as soon as players put on the red and white they lose their ability to hit a target!

    Surely when we recruit we look at these kids and try and bring in good kicks but for some reason they struggle in games. Is it something we aren't doing at training compared to other teams???

    Clearances 30-10 tells most of the story. We are being annihilated by Port.

    The commentators agree with you.

    Yes, we need to put a bit more work into that.
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

    Half the side is not up to AFL standard.

    I really hope Mark Riccuito brings out a christmas album this year. Such a beautiful voice.

    I suspect that should even up a bit in the second half, since I thought a lot of those were more bounce of the ball, rather than great skill or planning. That is, it seemed that when the contested ball was ricocheting around, it invariably ended up bouncing to a clear Port player, when it could have just as easily bounced to one of our players. There was also a fair bit of throwing that wasn't being paid.
