Two kicks  is irrelevant  Mate, he was was putting himself in and was tackling hard which caused him to clash heads, not an act of a soft player!
By attacking him only shows your frustration by taking it out on someone is obviously trying his best and was obviously missed once he went off. His value in the forward is at least competes which helps keep the ball in.

Stats should not be a measure of whether a player is giving his all or not.

As with morro in the first game of the season stats can be misleading ,however at the end of the day if a player continually does not get the pill,he will be judged on that

Fair point, people will always point to stats to measure ones output. However, 'giving his all' implies effort. To say someone hasn't given his all because he has only had two kicks is not an accurate measure.

i dont think you know the difference between a bottle of champers and a goon bag......

Can play
BUT
There is a huge gap between his worst footy and best footy
Seen him miss easy shots against Brisbane and Melbourne that makes me think he isn't real smart between the ears

Its a part of a revamped IQ test. Take 10 shots on goal, miss 6 and your dumb stuff.

Well if you watched him closely in all missed shots from inside 30
His run up was completely different to that of a normal shot
Surely his kicking routine after 5 years in the system would be worked out by now

Common problem across the board, not sure why you'd pin that to BG
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

I hardly think I'm attacking him. I just don't rate him. I think he is soft. And yes that is frustrating.
A few things for the record though, there was no head clash, Biff's head hit Thomas' back or shoulder. And not sure you can say he was tackling hard either, he lost his feet and went to ground. No tackle recorded on the stat sheet either so it's not just my opinion.

I recon you can "give your all" after playing 4 quarters, not 25minutes.
I'm not a huge fan for stats either as Dimma continually shows they can be manipulated to however you want to read them. But 2 kicks is 2 kicks. Not bad for a tall forward in 25 minutes of footy but hardly giving your all.
