      I'm feeling quite ecstatic.

      I think Jarred Moore is a dead-set star in the making. Doesn't hurt that he's built like a light weightlifter either. Craig Bolton ate Brown for breakfast, but that's nothing new. Barlow is improving all the time and McVeigh is finally proving his worth.

      Dunno what's happened to ROK though, he seems kinda lost from what i've seen this season.

      Great win though. If we keep improving at this rate we've got top 4 written all over us.

        Yep ROK's lost it, he's moved into the midfield!

          I reckon he's got a square head ... there was a profile shot of him tonight - he looked exactly like frank-n-stein!!

          Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
          Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

              And was one of the best on the ground.

                ROK was great - he's an excellent overhead mark and never stops running and finding space.

Paul Roos and the coaching staff aren't going to drop Jude Bolton for Nick Davis because you know as well as I do that Nick Davis isn't the same "type" of midfield player that they would replace Jude Bolton in the side with. You have to find the right replacement for Nick Davis to return rather than blindly throwing the names Jude Bolton or Paul Bevan all the time.

                  but we still need goalkickers regardless.
                  Last two weeks haven't been a problem without him and him being in the side in Round One didn't make the difference between winning and losing did it?

                  Davis is actually pretty effective in the midfield on his short stints in there, just needs to get the ball more.
                  You've pretty much answered your own question to why you ask he isn't in the team as a midfielder and most likely why he isn't in the team.

                      27 possessions and 2 goals. Where can we get more players that seem "lost"

                        ROK - kept running - and took his player out of the play - as BBH seemed to be on song he continued to play up the ground rather than deep in fwd zone -

                          I still don't think J Bolton must be replaced with a similar type, especially when our midfield can use good kicks.

                          Last two weeks haven't been a problem without him and him being in the side in Round One didn't make the difference between winning and losing did it?
                          13 goals isn't really a spectacular return and the first week had much bigger problems.
                          Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

                            Yeah look, he's one of my faves but i'm used to the ROK that links up in attack and kicks goals but to me it appears as though he isn't doing that - that goal he kicked late on from 2 meteres out aside. Not suggesting he's having a bludge - just that he's not the attacking threat he always has been.

                            Then again, everyone else seems to think he's on song this season so maybe it's me...
