C. Ellis :clapping :clapping

Still perplexed they play him as an outside player..

I'm not

Why?

Weak body, doesn't get it enough, have doubts he can win the hardball consistently at afl level. That pack mark was the first thing I've ever seen him do in the field that was robust and not timid

Was it just me or was Houli shocking?
A bit of a mixed game for mine. Periods where he was really effective on transition with him delivering off HB and then running on forward to receive. I thought his second qtr was v.good. Then there were other periods where he seemed to repeatedly miss targets he should have hit.

The game commentators on SEN actually praised Houli's game and said tonight showed we missed him off HB when he was rubbed out. They must have been focusing on the second qtr when the game was won.

I agree he plays a bit timid but I think it's more that he's not used to that outside role. Put him in the middle and he'll have more confidence in himself and his game. Will have a flow on effect and he'll get so much more ball as he doesn't know how to get the ball on the outside

Don't mind the logic YR, might be something he can do as his body develops. Has a bit of class, like Dan Rioli I would like to see him do this on a bigger stage than against the GC

Agree I think the Nank/Soldo thing is sort of working

Just wish he wasn't as fumbly

At the game last night. Had it taped for me on foxtel but i dont think ill be watching the replay. A low skilled game riddled with erroronous decision making and disposal which was punctuated with the odd cameo moment.

Umpiring very poor.

16,000 crowd i reckon only 3-5,000 gold coast supporters if they are lucky. 8 years after the concept was registered this whole experiment is a complete failure to date and i shudder to think the amount of money lost. Imagine what hundreds of millions would be able to do if it was pumped into facilities and junior programs in Tasmania (with leftover for Victoria) - would be an afl fortress and being a traditional afl state i dont think anyone would resent that.

That aside i thought dusty cotch rioli and Miles were good. Castagna works his arse off but jeez his finishing is shocking.

Caddy needs to lose some bulk and get serious.

Butler very quiet. Vlastuin and Edwards disposal (including handballs) to the opposition was very very poor.

What was disappointing was how RFC (IMO) took their foot off the gas in the 3rd quarter.

When GC got the first couple of goals they blare this trumpet like the opening bars of their pathetic song and when we kicked our first goal, one Richmond supporter yelled out "where's the trumpet now?" :lol

Our skill level & composure or lack thereof is still a major concern......lucky for us Ablett & May were out and the bad Gold Coast turned up...Hawthorn won't afford us such luxuries...

I would argue that the Hawks could have an off day and still win if we dished up that slop again this Sunday
