I dont mean to be rude, but anyone who went to that game and says Buchanan played anything but shizen footy has no idea.
He made error after error and has just lost any football smarts that he may have had. His ability to pick out opposition players and hit them on the chest lace out is breathtaking and he must have something wrong with his left foot, his natural kicking foot, because he refuses to turn that way and gets himself into awful trouble going the wrong way. The best thing he did all day was get that free for ducking his head.Comment

The game was quite embarrassing at times. At one stage we had over a dozen players within a few metres of the ball, and the rest not much further away.
What was Kennelly thinking in the third quarter, going up third man in the ruck when the ball was 25m in front of their goals and knocking it out into the clear for North to kick a goal?Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

I thought Buchanan looked pretty ordinary on the telecast too.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

I can't recall whether it was White or Jolly in your particular example but it may be a plausible explanation.Comment

You see, you see? A very exciting prospect IMO. I was very happy they gave him a run in the ruck, I imagine 7 HOs is more than we have been getting from Lewis- and it did free up Lewis to dominate in... umm.... across.... ummm.... either way, good start for young Jesse!I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline

One overall observation on today's game. We didn't look like a top side, more a middle of the road tough side who struggles to kick goals and lacks class.
Yep we get back Hall, Malceski, Fosdike and we could be able to match anyone, but that ain't going to happen for many weeks, so what we can hope for is to snatch a few very scrambled victories to stay in touch and hope for the best.
About the best backline in the comp but that appears to be where it stops.
We just lack any semblance of brilliance.Comment

said this elsewhere but buchanan, j bolton, lrt, barlow are all unreliable with the ball. this makes those who say we should play open "attractive" attacking football simply do not understand how poorly we would play in such games. we would turn it over repeatedly and our defenders (barry, bevan, richards) would exposed one on one at the back - and they are not good enough to win repeatedlyComment

Why did MOL play on when he kicked his third goal?Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Thought the same thing. Maybe he didn't realise he was in the GS. Maybe he didn't want to waste too much time.
