Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
I reckon the real number is 86 but yepStill staggered he missed it. If I could give the ball to any player for that kick, it’d be him 100 times over.
He’d kick 99/100.

Look, he's a good forward.
But should we consider playing him more like a Fyfe role?

Eight years wasted not in the forward line. That’s more than most player’s careers. I still feel ill about it.
Yup, wasted many years.It’s funny, sometimes you think a player blossoming in a new role wouldn’t have necessarily got to where he is without the journey or the previous experience in that other position but this is not one of those times. Just mucked around with him for almost a decade.
He’s brilliant, and if you asked him he’d probably tell you he’s left 4-5 on the table so far that he would normally nail which puts him in the lead in the Coleman.
And WE all knew he was a forward!Eight years wasted not in the forward line. That’s more than most player’s careers. I still feel ill about it.
Merrett IMO but then Langers.He is our best player
