His game in the last 3 weeks have been outstanding. Not only is he kicking bags of goals for us but keeps presenting others as displayed today. Bode obviously needs help from the other forwards, but this boy has really stood up when others have been sitting down.

Missed too many shots in the first quarter for my liking.
 
i agree with u southerntakover, hes been good crumbing but needs to look before he snaps around the corner

yeah but 15 goals would be alot nicer. it would be alot worse if bodey wasnt up there forus
 
the misses? he kicked 4 goals 2.

lets continue the theme of attacking the guys played reasonably, and give a free ride to those whose escape attention because they were so anonymous

And an out on the full or two.

He wasnt alone in missing shots, Welsh and Perrie both did it too.

I wont mention names but lets play bingo

5-36-33-34[first half]18-25?
 
I am waiting for an apology from the usual suspects :rolleyes:

This is the thing, many people pick on Bode for missing a couple of shots (which he did, 2 behinds, 1 out of bounds on the full) but lets face facts people. He is the only player that regularly gets into possitions to score. If everyone was performing as well as Bode we wouldn't be in the septic tank that we are in now.

Bullseye.

Has repaid some of the faith that NC and the coaching staff have put in him this season. He could have easily lost his place to Porplyzia or when Welsh returned but they stuck with him during a pretty ordinary middle of the season.

lotto numbers :P
true enough, 18 was let down alot by his company though 25 is not tall enough to play lade he'd be better to play the ball. was it his horrible clanger to 4 port players in the square? Atleast he ran with the ball on occasion has been holding it up previously.
More run and we are a chance still.
Bodey does well, dunno how he misses so badly though.

No matter what Bode does, it still doesn't seem good enough, there will always be the usual ones that have to have a whinge.

Believe you me, im not one of the 'usual ones'. I love Bodey, and the way he plays, but his misses break my heart, thats all. :(
 
He may of missed a few shots but he kicked 4 goals today, he is one of the only guys who is continually putting his hand up when the chips are down.

Give the bloke a break.

Yeah he has played well. If he could just be more of a sharp-shooter he would be a very good player. If others were playing as well as he is then it wouldn't be a problem though. Well done Bodey.

he kicked what, like 4 goals today.

if anybody should be getting **** from anybody - try for starters thompson and reilly. bode is at least doing his job. they aren't.

(not necessarily directed at you.. just in general to the usual ones that give bode ****)

I have already made my thoughts known on his performance today and last week. Thanks god he has turned it around in the last few weeks because our forward line has gone from chocolate to boiled lollies.

Both probably deserve the criticism they are getting.

Would be a bit out of place for me to post that in a Bode thread though, wouldnt it?

I just meant those two in particular do deserve criticism, they are playing like ****.
Bode is playing well, he got 4 goals today, and he tries HARD - granted might miss goals, but he still tries.

There are others who deserve criticism a LOT more than Bode.

That's the key. Even D Jarman had a look at the goals before a snap. Bode often has more time than he thinks. His kicking has improved, as shown by his better set shots when he has to look at the goals.
