damn straight. He ran to dangerous spots and should've kicked 3. Papley should have kicked 5. Buddy shoulda kicked 4. Wicks shoulda kicked a couple. Woulda shoulda coulda didn't.Gotta say, I can’t sit with the notion this loss is on Bell. Simply ignorant. Every player in the squad will have moments they want to take back that might have changed a one point loss. Every bombed kick into a forward line played a roll. Every missed tackle, every poor decision etc etc. we lost this one as a team, even Lewis in not individually responsible!, we lost this as a team.
I hope this is the making of Bell. He'll never be a great kick, but neither was Brett Kirk. Yet he rarely wasted a ball and when in range rarely missed. Bell has a great body for AFL. If he has the work rate and dedication, he could be great for us in the years ahead.
