Can’t say I agree..
Our skill level was the problem today and neither of those two do anything to improve that..
I think the issue is that the only people who were willing to challenge him moved on, or are coaching our VFL side. The new coaches are too green to push their opinion

God help us...!
Melbourne are due to 'Melbourne' at some stage - will have to hope it's next weekend.

Please bring in Reeves, Cegs is past it...
I’d love hodge back in the box, would not let this happen, how blatantly obvious does it have to be before he wakes ups.

Cousins in for Worpel - that does something to improve skill (and run).
Nash not in for skill, he is in for his run- However, Nash doesnt turn the ball over. His only skill issue is when lining up for goal, but unfair to judge goal kicking accuracy on past seasons.
We were schooled by Darcy and Meek...Meek has played what 4 games?

WTF people wanting to drop Worpel? Tagged Brayshaw in first half and kept him to 3 touches and was good himself with 13 in the first half. Had a few mistakes in the 3rd, but was good overall.
But seriously, Ceglar and playing 2 ruckman needs to be stopped for good. Obrien cops a lot of hate on here, but Ceglar is twice as bad.
Cousins, Jeka, Burgoyne in
Obrien, Ceglar, Howe out

-Jeka in the blokes ahead of him have showed nothing over the first month his a better kick than all of our kpp fwds.
- Cousins our midfield is still struggling he was really good in the 2nd half of last season added a element.
Out Tob,Howe.

Worpel just sat on Brayshaw and did a decent job. He's not getting dropped.
His skill errors are damning though. He should be told to handball or kick long down the line.
Chip knew his limitations. Its time someone tells Worps his.

It‘s hard to see any of the current side playing in a premiership (Unless they change teams). We are so far off. We are looking at a long time at the bottom. Need to nail all our early picks for the next 100 years or so.

He won’t be omitted for making mistakes if he’s following the directives given to him. He did a very good defensive job on Brayshaw today when he’s been poor defensively all year. The directive also appears to be attempt to take those risky kicks - the issue is we don’t have the cattle to execute that gameplan. That’s something we can only address through the next few drafts IMO.

Had the same anount as mistakes as everyone else. Saw Omeara and Mitchell make some just as costly. They stopped the tag in the last and Brayshaw and Freo killed us in the middle. He played well.
He was given a job and executed it today. He shut down freo most dangerous midfielder this yr. Brayshaw was one of the top mids in the comp this first month.
His skills are down I agree with that.
Unfortunately I feel we need 2 rucks V Melbourne despite Ceglar being Ceglar again.
There's no use dropping Worpel. His confidence is shot, but at his best he is good enough to win our BNF. We have to play him into form.
TOB has no place in any of our future success and just has to go.
Hartley I thought was reasonable. I dont mind him based on his kicking, and since he is a key defender Im not against playing him over Hartigan.
OUT: O brien, Howe(injured), Hartigan
In, Jeka, Burgoyne, Downie/Cousins

His non-effort in the 3rd when we just got within 10pts was embarrassing. I’d almost be prepared to concede defeat and go into this game with the one ruck. Get TOB, Lewis and Hartley to give BB a chop out in the ruck if you have to.
INS - Burgoyne, Downie
OUT - Howe, Ceglar
Same mate, love him, but he has looked really lazy so far. He needs to find some urgency, or he will be out of the side.
Spot on and Darcy is a slow moving log, and he made our rucks look second rate. Have to bring Reeves in.

Why not do what other clubs do against Gawn? That is to try and rove to him and only play the one ruck.
Big call dropping Hartigan but I agree with you, too slow, is always a yard behind his opponent. He has a spot in the team against the big power forwards, Melbourne do not have one.
