c'mon, you can do better oh Korea!
I didn't. Go team.So you hated the win too?
solid win, but dreadful banter!So you hated the win too?

Does anyone watch him play or just listen to his name being called?
How many times does he use the ball, by hand and foot, resulting in an Essendon player taking clean possession of the thing? I'm not even exaggerating when I say it would be close to 1/3 of the time.
This from a guy who us fundamentally an outside midfielder. Between him, Shiel and Heppell it's not wonder we torch our forwards. The expression "couldn't hit the side of a barn" comes to mind.
If I can post his champion data highlights video for the game here, I will.
It’s one thing to acknowledge what deficiencies a player needs to work on, but it’s another thing again to only focus on those deficiencies and neglect to appreciate the significant gains made. Let’s celebrate the fact that he is consistently contributing right to the end of games and actually influencing results.You are not the only one to notice he can be rather scrappy disposal wise. Does some really good stuff but has to find a way to stop the poor disposals at critical times. One reason we are not a top side is the fact our prime movers can murder the ball quite often.
Problem is what Bruno mentioned is a massive issue for us. We are way too scrappy with how we use the footy and it has been some of the key players who seem to stuff things up by missing simple targets by hand or foot. How many times do we look like breaking free or scoring only to miss a handball target or kick the ball straight to the opposition.It’s one thing to acknowledge what deficiencies a player needs to work on, but it’s another thing again to only focus on those deficiencies and neglect to appreciate the significant gains made.

We have 22 players struggling to hit up targets. Darcy is our most improved player over the last 4-5 weeks and that is what I am impressed by. Yes, there are deficiencies that he needs to work on but I’m just happy that he’s showing that he can impact games consistently at the important moments.Problem is what Bruno mentioned is a massive issue for us.

We have an ordinary forward line and half the time our key ball movers manage to not kick the ball to our advantage.
I will throw Tin Kelly out there. Last year very good but had his moments with turnovers. This year big step up in his disposal and he is close to the best player going around. Yes Darcy has played some good footy but for us to take the next step he is one of a number of players who simply have to be better with the ball.
Package you're drunk.
Who are you using as your examples of "genuine inside/outside midfielders"?
Is that Stanton or Zaharakis? I bet it's not.

It’s Sloane, the comparison has always been Sloane. He’s baby Sloane
Too shortHe is an absolute goer. I can't understand the criticism.
West Coast last quarter Friday night.Parish being scrappy is a fair point, but is the problem the skill level or the game plan.
I bring up the game plan because I don't see the goods sides basically throwing the ball around in such a scrappy fashion.
