[slangman]

Very very disappointed with the efforts of some of the senior/AFL players.

Callum Brown has been super....

Callum Brown doing his seniors recall no harm at all, he has been outstanding

[thebaldfacts]

Out marked all day back and forward. Don't think anyone out there will help us with the Eagles tall forwards.

Callum Brown our best. Rest have not done themselves any favours to get a recall.

Crocker had a shocker late.

[derkd]

Bombers deserve the lead. Too many missed opportunities by the pies and poor quality disposals and conversions.

[WarrenerraW]

Crocker is not up to standard. Scoffed three chances!! Simply not good enough - especially in a final!

Goldsack has done a couple of nice things ...is he ready for a final? Hmmm I would not have thought so.

[WarrenerraW]

Brown's been great so far though.

[Crazypie]

Crocker needs to be delisted/traded (if worth anything). madgen, Oxley and goldsack don't look up for it against the Eagles that's for sure. Pretty poor 1/4

Yep being out worked. And a real lack of desire.

[K]

The cupboard is looking very bare.

And kicking efficiency is below 50%.

Agreed. Goldsack would be a bigger risk than Moore.

Daicos was good early but went missing that quarter.

Mclarty in the ruck has given us nothing of value. Make or break next year for him.

Crocker had a shocker late.

He has been pox for the bulk of the year, at both levels.

He had two assets when he was drafted: overhead marking for a small player, and dead-eye set shot goal kicking. His marking is still there, but his goal kicking has gone off a cliff (much, it must be said, like Fasolo's).

Unfortunately, he's contracted for another year, a contract which was signed last year. Superb list management that...

Mclarty in the ruck has given us nothing of value. Make or break next year for him.

The fact is, anybody who goes to play on Kennedy is less someone who can do a job and more a case of damage limitation and management. Goldsack had 5 booted on him last time he took Kennedy. Moore breaks down when the wind changes direction. Madgen has been shocking today. Howe is an interceptor, nod a big bodied monster who can stand a big bodied monster. And McLarty has been played as a ruck/forward all year, instead of in defence where he shone last year, but is a kid anyway...
