He did do some nice stuff but all you folk who were watching it on the box would not have seen the times he was a minute behind where he should have been defensively.

I was at the game. He had a good game.

Probably. Hard to see defensive running and positioning on TV some of the time.
Though the type of thing that would stand out more on second viewing (which is too painful - hard enough first viewing lol).

You need to focus a bit more on how he worked defensively then. Yes, he did some good stuff but it was typical archie in a few areas.

Or you need to stop being so sanctimonious. He has a good game. Not a perfect game, but a good one.

Sometimes people just want to mention he had a good game without perfectly encapsulating his entire game. Not every opinion has to match yours.

For sure. He was good in a few areas.

Pot kettle black.
You are the only angry bitter one around here. That basically tells people their opinion is crap.
All I said was he did some good things but still had a few of the same issues.
So basically not a perfect game.
It was not something that would have shown up on TV.
Not like I have just singled out his few defensive issues. Others got a mention as well.

Because I disagreed with you? Seriously dude.

How about we just leave it.

First quarter was close to the best I have seen him put up. Work rate really good.
Still decent after that but his first quarter should be his standard.

I thought he played pretty well tonight, but to be fair I wasn't at the game so **** me, I guess

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Shame he didn't nail that goal when streaming into the 50 without a lot of pressure. Difference between having a good game and having a very good one is making the most of those opportunities which he seems to not take at times.

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

Thought he was one of our best players and worked hard the whole game.

Wish he wasn't in two minds when streaming into 50, he has the journey and should've just went for it!

 

[Jobe Watson]

One of our best players tonight.

That's how shit we are.

 

[Petrify]

I've been a very harsh critic but credit where its due to he's stringing some form together.

 

[jannissary]

he knows he’s fighting for his career, but he’s not playing poorly

 

[Doss]

Not that it’s saying much, but he’s probably had his best mini-block of games in over two years.

 

[bombersim]

And now you know why I get sucked in any time he plays well - looks great at times. It’s funny what happens when you make a player earn something, Brad.

I guess he has to or he is out the door.

He has looked good since his VFL run.
