I've retired from Demonland. I'm guessing anything less than 21-1 from here with a percentage of 200 and a flag is meltdown zone.

BigFooty generally is a bit more open minded.

Interesting that Roosy mentioned Witherden being a lazy kick on Saturday and that a coach needs to have a word to him. Why didn't he ever try that with Tyson!!!

Have you seen this board the past two weeks?

Dom's defensive game was quite poor until Roos' final year, presumably he spent the entire time working on that. Kicking was subpar but not noticeably atrocious until last season. To his credit his disposal has been pretty good in his two appearances this in 2018. Fingers crossed it lasts, he still has enough class to push up into being a very good midfielder.

Jake needs to improve his 1v1 positioning or risk becoming irrelevant. It's as simple as that. He doesn't need to be a full time key position defender but he needs to learn how to defend one on one as well as do the intercept job.

I still don't really get why we 1) went after him considering we didn't really need him, 2) why we paid such a ridiculously high price and 3) why, after 1) and 2), we play him in a different role to what he was supposedly so good at.
