Kicks a few of those misses and you'd all be sucking his balls

Did anyone not see how many hard chase down tackles he laid? How many times he was clean, got out of traffic and launched it forward?

Yes, he skills were pretty poor tonight but as they say, the good outweighs the bad with this kid. We know he's highly skillful. This was a game where it was peeing down with rain fellas.

Just because we lost a close game that we should have won doesn't mean we should come on here and bag the poo out of kids. He's not the problem.

Agree not the problem.

Not many senior places stood up tonight.

Exactly. I get the frustration with losing close games, I really do. Frustrates me more reading people pot the likes of Cumberland when there are far more experienced campaigners not pulling their weight

We’re in a weird spot.

Old legends are not the players they were.

Some promise from youth but they’re patchy and not reliable.

In summary, we’re an average side battling it out for bottom of the 8.

Tonight was a big swing game for both teams. Would have been a handy win

Totally agree.

Plus I'd say a few blokes that were support players in premierships are not exactly stepping up and taking over from the likes of Cotch.

We're a decent side, capable of being a great side on our day. Also capable of producing absolute poo.

The only part of his game I'm disappointed in was the missed set what in the 3rd.

That was a terrible miss, senior,  junior it doesn't matter an unacceptable miss

But apart from that no issue with his game. He missed tagets but so did many.

It is the senior blokes I'm most angry (disappointed) with after today's game.

Long season. Lot to play out.

I do hope we don’t regret punting on TT and Hopper and not investing in youth.

Not potting those blokes but it was a bet on short term success.

Either way, I don’t blame the club for rolling the dice. I get it.

[Assange Tiger 😎]

I get TT's recruitment. Dude is a contested beast. At the present time it looks like he couldn't kick poo off a shovel but IDK if that's been the story for his whole career.

Struggling to see what Hopper is offering us right now in terms of CP's and clearances. He can run around and get 20-25 but so can Jack Ross. Early days tho

That's a good game despite the poor DE but let's be honest it was wetter than your mum anyway.

Got plenty of ball, laid 6 tackles (lol at the defensive pressure excuse).

This guy is a must play.

At AT said if he'd kicked 2-3 goals we'd be lining up for him.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Cumberland looks really exciting. Ironically takes pressure of talls as he moves well, pushing past 50 metre arc and is a lovely kick.

[eliminator]

One of the few to make an impact in last quarter

[Damo]

Will be a gun

[Andyy]

2 goals
8 tackles

His efforts to pressure them were brilliant.

[Assange Tiger 😎]

Pressure was immense. Need to isolate him at times instead of kicking it to Jack all night long

[The Machine]

Was a standout tonight

[pmac21]

Too many basic errors for me. 

[Tigeritis™©®]

Was very good. One of those that plays better in the AFL than VFL.

Still a kid , hasn’t played 20 games yet .
