Jack.
We need more hard blokes like Jacko.
Webberly will be a find.

When 53 down in the last Essendon took the foot off and we kicked some junk time goals. 35 pints was not a fair reflection of how far behind we actually were. Essendon did kick 10 15 since they were 9.1 and 26 points in front of us in the second quarter. Margin could have been a lot greater. Very lucky to lose by 35 points IMHO.


They wouldn't have been anywhere near that much in front in the first place if the game had been umpired fairly.

Regardless of the quality of officiating yesterday we were lucky not to lose a 10 goal loss. In the final analysis the umpiring although unfavourable was not as influential as some of our efforts errors and turnovers in the match. I can't agree wholly with that Smokey. We were poor last night for the most part. Clearly had a huge let down from the match the week before.

Riewoldt.
Martin - crushes through packs.
Cotchin - in and under work.
Highest Score.
Nearly kicked over 100 points.
Matthew White - he has pace and needs to learn to keep using it!
Graham - 35% taps to advantage and getting more football and ... played two above average matches in a row!

I have to say I don't think the Jake King return worked and I am not sure what the point of playing him is I don't see any upside other than he can tackle.

Forgot to mention I was very impressed with Webberley.
