Symes

[dread and might]

Got a lot of possessions today, but in terms of footy smarts, is he the most dimwitted non-ruckman in the AFL???

Just took forever to make a decision, and still took the wrong one half the time.

Sorry - but who's Symes?

Maybe he based his game on Sydney premiership year captain Ben Mathews?

spot on. whenever he got the ball in the middle he stopped, started running, fained to handpass, stopped, looked to kick, stopped and fained to handpass again. this went on for about five minutes at the end of which he got tackled. motlop didnt cost them the game- symes did.
btw i felt so sorry for motlop. dermie had it spot on. he really didnt want to be the guy who had to save the game.

had to be the most non effective 30+ possession game i have ever seen.

Good for dream team though.

Also, Fraser's 142 helped me too. Symes wasn't bad in the backline, he was always there to send the ball outside defensive 50 especially in the first half, but he's no Chad Cornes and his inexperience showed.

This is what prompted me to make the post. Mathews looks like a Krakouer brother compared to this guy. LRT looks positively decisive!
