[Chris25]

Dodd tagged McLeod out of the match in the first 3 quarters. McLeod had a bit in the last quarter, but overall he didn't have much of an impact on the match. Dodd didn't get much of the ball and he made a few mistakes, but he wasn't too bad this week.

 

[malpaso]

Agreed on his lockdown effort but when he gets the ball he hurts us and does it too often.

 

[sabre_ac]

Ibbotson??

I thought he was almost our best, at times his skills are incredible (That handball for example).

I realise at times he too had some brain freezes, but it was a day full of them.

 

[anti.]

mcpharlin imposed himself on scott steven's face.

broughton looked pretty good i thought, hill is going to be a gun. not all bad, but still just shocking disposal out of the backline with older players mainly the culpirits (im looking at you grover).

adelaide were pretty impressive though, i feel sorry for palmer. you can tell the whole 'lets laugh at palmer because he's a shithouse kick' is getting to him. because i swear he was a way better kick than this.

sack mundy, this weak bitch annoys me no end. if he's not using the ball properly he's a worse player than chad fletcher.

good game though.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Almost everyone went missing in that second quarter. Mundy made up for it with a big third quarter.

 

[malpaso]

I suppose in the end, the second quarter performance is what lost us the game.

At least the boys got back to playing some sort of respectable football compared to the first two rounds.

[Plugga]

The GOOD

1. Haselby - fair enogh
2. Palmer - was crappola after 1/2 time, just 4 possessions & missed absolute monty of a goal - looked slow at times...GOOD???
3. Crowley - was decent, but made some blatant errors in last qtr at crucial times - watch the replay dude
4. Broughton - average...at best, some poor decisions at times
5. Pavlich - seagull goals, lack of leadership, token chaser
6. Hill/Suban - Hill did some good things once he got some confidence...1st half was terrible. Suban was ok at best

The BAD

1. Head - agreed
2. Dodd - watch the replay mate...played well on McLeod

The UGLY

1. Head - agreed
2. Dodd - see above
3. Solomon - what? Solly was only guy willing to commit harikari

The MISSING

1. Gilmore (mainly due to where he was positioned) - agreed
2. Bradley - agreed
3. Mundy - not a midfielder
4. McPharlin (really should be imposing himself more)

as above

WTF are you on?? They had two good periods of play...10 mins in the 1st quarter and 10 mins in the final. The 2nd quarter was shockingly poor...(we kicked two behinds ffs!!), and just about broke even in the third.
I have never seen experienced players like Grover fumble the ball sooo much, and many looked lost with no direction. There was little on field leadership...need I go on?
No wonder we are the laughing stock of the whole AFL atm!

I'm with you.

I've seen more skill and intensity watching North Fremantle Amateurs.
