Yeah right, gave the opposition 3 goals

[Gigantor]

I'll be glad when nathan f gets back into this team and people like astbury and griffiths are given a run

[tiger till i die]

that and get simmo out of the team. completely useless, can't run, cant mark, cant pick up ground balls, cant win hitouts....why the hell is he even playing

Totally agree

[Hellenic Tiger]

As I said in a previous post on another thread would rather see a player make an error trying to make play than a player make a mistake by being restricting and conservative.

I thought he did okay. Was hard and tough and got to the footy okay. Yes Jack he made a couple of errors by foot but would rather see Daniel continue the way he plays.

Would hate to see him get dropped for those errors when blokes like Tambling get a game next week and play half ar$ed and live off the fact that they are a pick 4 draft pick.

I actually like Connors.
Can win his own ball which is a positive.
Would play him inside F50, so his option by foot would be to try and kick goals.
His skill set doesnt lend itself to playing deep in D50.
Thought his turnovers were ordinary tonight

I thinks Connors best work is done in congestion. The less he has to think about disposal the better he is, he has quick hands.

[Go Richo 12]

so Cono is alright ? 

Bruised ribs they were saying on the radio.

Bruised or broken means little difference sometimes, he'll still need to miss a few i would think. Apparently he was spitting up blood and thats sounds a little like a punctured lung!

[Hellenic Tiger]

I do too Jack. If you can't hit a target at this level 15 metres away.....
I agree with you mate but I like the way he goes about it.
Wins his own ball puts his body on the line and goes for it all the time.
In my opinion he has a place in our side moving forward as opposed to some others.
Needs to work on his right side however. Will eliminate him getting caught.

what other option do we really have in our back half. I would rather a goal post than to see Edwards in our D50.

I dont know what Hardwick is on to still play this guy in the team. He is useless.. As for Farmer well who knows about him too.

I thought Connors played well tonight but if it means we kick goals then he needs to be moved out of dedence

Just repeating what was said on the radio. They said the Club expects Connors to be right to play by next week  .

[TigerLand]

Jack are you unhappy with Connors game?

The guy has improved out of sight in attitude and confidence.

You defend Simmo for having a crack for being a slow flop of a man. Yet you argue negatively towards the positives of Connors.

I'll fly to the moon with feathers if anyone thinks Simmonds game was better than Connors today.

Sure he made a few mistakes but ge name me 1 player that didn't turn the ball over today in the yellow and black.

Put his body on the line, took them on, kicking was ok apart from one clanger that resulted in a dogs goal.

Hats off for Connors for mine.

I was very pleased with the improvement with Connors game this week

I thought for the 6 or 7 times he really needed to put his body on the line he did 3-4 times, which was a massive improvement from the week before

However, there were still a few occassions where he was playing to far off his opponent (about 3-5 metres) when the Dogs were surging forward and the Doggies used this to their advantage. His tunrovers were costly but hey compared to another player who I don't think had one effective kick all night (and I don't mean Edwards  )

I reckon the poor kicks are a result of not knowing whether to go long or short

But all in all a much better effort

Personally I think it needs to become the norm and not the exception
