How many touches?Vicky Pollard: Oh my god I so can't believe you just said that this is like the time I threw Anita's nokia in the canal as a joke and she's like you have well got to buy me another one and I'm like get over it and then Paul came over who's adopted anyway and started saying that I fancy Mark Bennett but oh my god just because I have sex with someone doesn't mean I fancy them. -

Go and watch the replay and count them but also count all the times he put his body on the line with blocks tackling, the pressure he applied to Adelaide players, how many goals did he miss, he had to get the ball each time, hopefully this will assist you in adding them all up.Originally posted by BonBon

If you are still not convinced you can send a "ask Roosy"
Hope this helps ;o)

Don't focus on effort.Originally posted by Wazza
I would question the effort and work rate of Nick Davis before a ROK - definately was in Sydneys best - dont focus on the stats.
I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

Davis has 16 possessions, kicked a goal and his disposal was pretty clean.Originally posted by Wazza

I thought he played well, any lack of further involvement in the game was probably due to standing around the goal square. From memory he finished with 12 effective kicks from his 13 kicks, I wish we had more players approaching those sort of figures. Even with his 1 kick that was not effective he had the right idea; he kicked long from deep inside the D50 (yes guys, you are allowed to do that) to a Dempster lead (yes guys, you are allowed to kick to the kids too!)- it went to a Crow, but even then it was a picked off pass and not straight down the throat of the opposition.Originally posted by NMWBloods

If we had kicked straight in the last Q against Richmond and Adelaide we would be sitting second easily.
We had both games there to be taken with all the momentum. Skills let us down again. These games haunt me.Comment

The problem with the Richmond game was the inactivity for 3/4 even though the Crouch miss was a shocker.LIFE GOES ONComment

Only because it was Davis, which gets back to the value of his disposals over the value of others.Originally posted by Ruckman

Just on that, you have a point as last night on the couch, Mike Sheahan only individualised on Davis's miss and described it as bread and butter and was from 30 out. No doubt he should have kicked it because he's done it often before, but from memory his back foot was touching the 50 metre arc so if wasn't from 30. And I also thought it was strange he didn't comment on the sitters. But he was praiseworthy overall of the performance. It does show though that we and the media have higher expectations of some than others. I still think the ROK misses, the Hall one and the Buchanan poster were the worst. I made some excuses for Kennelly but I think they were valid.Originally posted by stellation

Perhaps we expect more from his disposals because he uses the ball well but also perhaps because we have come to expect less when it comes to his tackle count?Originally posted by stellation

Not many of our players would be a cert kicking from 40-50m out. You'd only expect that for Davis (I expected he would kick it).Originally posted by Ruckman
