Rance was outstanding. Ellis played his best game for the club for a long time. Astbury was good. I thought Lambert played well. His tackling was good. Rioli's tackling and pressure was very good. I thought Cotchin really played a good game. Bolton looks a real find. Menadue showed something in the second half. Short did not have a good game thought he was pretty average and it is a really worry regarding Elton. Hurley had a field day.


Yep agree with most of this but in my eyes Short did his job. Kept his man to only 7 touches and rebounded well.

I think shorts been brilliant in defence. Always looking to attack off hb, doesn't always work but he will only get better, wouldn't have played more than 30 games I think.

Thought Short was excellent when he came on

Shorts been v solid efensively the past 3-4 games which was my one real concern about him, DO NOT want another chris newman/bachar houli style release player from defence that has zero respect for defensive duties.

He is seriously quick as well

Houli.... how did you rate his game last night?

Mr Panic Merchant - when the game is hot and on the line you can guarantee that he will drop an easy chest mark, fumble the ball and do everything except show poise and execute basic skills.

I don't rate Houli but I thought he was good last night. His kicking was excellent as too was his gut running.
He will never put his body on the line on a consistent basis and we just have to accept that. He won't be dropped too. However, play like last night and I won't mind. I gave him a 6/10.

Quote from: scythe
This disgusting, useless piece of poo excuse for a football club can't even beat ******* Richmond. It's ******* humiliating.

Can't believe how many times we refused to move the ball on and let them get HTB.

Our forward entries made me want to smash my head through a window. Nothing but the blind bombing I thought we had moved on from.

We should've destroyed them. We had no right to lose that game. None.

Thought Caddy was okay particularly in first half. Kicking for goal let him down.

Was more than ok. He was a constant threat all night. Had he kicked straight he would have been in the top half dozen for us.
