      Yep, hard to disagree with that comment.

        I think DOK is a fair way off senior footy at the moment.
        And the man who started it all, the Schneiderman . . . . .

          Yep, got to agree here. For mine, he is the disappointment of the pre-season so far, I was hoping he would be further along than he is. This is not meant as a criticism of the kid, merely an observation.

            Duck.... here comes Connolly.
            Well I have to agree that his 3 possessions are not burned in the memory but he did make 6 tackles. But Bevo's game in the Grand Final was very good. Did his job, placed tremendous pressure on his opponents (he played as a defensive midfielder) and had Chad "Lazarus" Fletcher having a good look over his shoulder. The comment re. "lucky" came from an old thug with an assault conviction, who gave away Craig Bolton and has no credibility.

              Jewels, cut the young man some slack. He hardly played any footy last year and was a number 16 draft pick which in draft terms is not too shabby.

              Give him a chance to find his feet.

                  A long way to go for DOK.
                  Agree I thought he would be further down the track as well
                  Hopefully will progress as the year rolls on.

                      You left out Jude Bolton.

                        considering he was our top pick in a "super draft" he is terribly disappointing.
                        And the man who started it, the Schneiderman, can kick his third for the quarter. And the swans are in the Grand Final!

                          He had injuries last season, so don't judge Danny O'Keefe too harshly. He is a star in the making and if he has an injury free run, will be a star for us.

                          You can't just judge a player from one season.

                              McVeigh has been moved forward before, with success. This isn't a matter of chances, this is a matter of common sense.

                                I agree that we must be patient with young DOK.He is still built like a kid and has a fair bit of development ahead.Some of the top blokes running around in the AFL took time to develop.I haven't given up on him,he's just treading water at this stage.
