We’d be better off running with 17 than usual Soldo, everything he touches is to the opposition advantage every week.
Soldo was good.

Won the ruck without any help from Chol, and contributed around the ground.

And we allow another cheap one in the last 2 mins of the game  :banghead

% is so important this year. Can't afford to keep doing this

Percentage for us is only important if Collingwood manage to get level with us on points

No poking each other during the song tonight. Very stilted in fact. Obviously got the message.

Soldo was good, bar that stupid kick.

Showed how agile he can be a couple of times tonight. I heard he's been playing with a mild ankle complaint because Nank and CCJ aren't available.

When he's on he's very serviceable. Just needs to stay at this level and go above.

Take it but was an ordinary game. Soldo battled hard but really needs a rest.
Houli should be better for the run you would think. You don't know what Castagna is going to do with the ball...think he needs a spell.
Solid games by many but nothing to get too excited about other than the games from Bolton and Bolta :clapping
Lambert frustrated me tonight and did the Captain.

Ive never posted the words
'Shame on you'

I dont think Pickett and Castagna should be in this side but i dont post  'shame on you'. Just a shocking thing yo write about a young man who tried to get a teammate a goal.

Rioli messed up and it was disgraceful.

Like WP said, if it was George you would be all over it.

Take the win and bank it won ugly last 2 weeks wasn't easy game up there in Darwin to.Get a few back next week and need to lift the intensity next 2 games.The domination we had last 2 games and nothing to show for it cannot happen against top sides.

Take the 4 pts and move on. Won't get away with playing like that & wasting F50s next week but oddly the Eagles won't be flooding so it will be more open.   
Bolts, Dusty, Graham, Balta, Kmac, Floss in our bests tonight.

Need our missing stars back asap. Our current bottom six is being carried.

I want to say that all our defenders were brilliant tonight.

But we cannot hide from the fact our small forwards are just putrid at the same time. Something is not quite right or not cohesive. Maybe it's over coaching? Lack or form? Poor quality players?

Undoubtedly our Achilles heel at the moment.

X 2

Obviously not the right decision but you can’t bag a young fella for playing the team game

Well unless you are a flog or have an ulterior motive that is

The opposition are flooding out back half, this is hurting our entries. Dimma said we have been working on strategies to combat this tactic however looks like we still have work to do.
