      3. Leo was far from the worst, took some strong and courageous marks and did some good stuff running it out of defense like he used to.

      The only sensible things you said were about goodesy and not wanting collingwood to go all the way.

      Anyway enough with you.

      Now seriously im an umpire basher from way back but today was a disgrace. They crucified us all day and then tried to even the ledger when it was finished in the end with more awful decisions.
      ...and you know precisely what about footballers, football, AFL or anything associated with the game? Not a lot by the look of it.

      I did not say anything disparaging about our younger players. That conversation happened between you and yourself, remember?

      Good to see you come on here and offer some impressive in depth analysis Larry Lightweight.

      Anyway enough with you - already more words than you deserve.

        I think Reg's resurgence this season has been due to him dropping weight - looks a lot leaner/fitter.

        I thought Smith was excellent and against the older/smarter Didak wasn't shown up at all. He tired toward the end but I think the loss of Moore at such a critical point really messed us around.

        Overall, for a side rebuilding, I was pretty happy that they kept competing. I liked that Jesse covered a fair amount of distance today and kept working hard right up the ground.

        Goodes is priceless.

                Reg was outstanding today, as was Goodes( as usual)
                LRT and B2 were very good.
                MOD showed plenty of run, today.
                Bevan played pretty well.
                White had little impact, but was impressive when he got near the ball, his chase on Shaw late in the game, showed he has some speed.

                Pyke, was shocking, worked of the ball far too easily for someone his size, and seemed to have little idea of what he was supposed to be doing around the ground.

                Barlow was just useless.
                Crouch had a shocker.
                MOL had little impact, as did Leaping.

                Forgot Smith, and Moore.
                Moore's tap which led to a goal(bevan), before he went off injured, was a highlight.
                And Smith took a huge hit just in front of the I/C bench and just kept going. Pretty solid for a skinny looking kid.
                He also kept Didak very, very quiet for the first half of the game.

                  I did read it before it was CENSORED. I am sure Liz appreciates you wasting her time.

                  BTW, I sometimes wonder why people such as you feel the need to launch themselves on to RWO by insulting people. Happens often, but usually done with a bit more style and definitely greater respect to the Queen's English.

                  Anyway, do your best.

                    We had more free kicks than them in the first half.

                      Maybe i should just come on here and bag my own players like your good self. Did you watch the game or just catch the highlights? Doesnt matter all the best.

                        Its not the numbers, its the positions and circumstances that they are paid in.

                        Addition: And possibly the fact that they are not warranted.

                          Most of them were there. We got away with a lot, including 2 marks to LRT that probably shouldn't have been paid.

                            Umpiring clearly didn't impact the outcome today, but there were a couple of blatant HTBs we didn't get paid.

                            The worst was the umpire not realising that Magic was still way behind his mark when he was brought to the ground.

                              I said Barlow was soft. Interestingly, I see someone has launched a thread on BF devoted to this very topic. I am hardly alone on this.

                              If you want to spend time on an online forum where people only say nice things about Sydney players, you've come to the wrong place.

                              If you want to play act as the RWO thought police, search for a few posts by Bear or Nico - plenty of fodder for you there.

                              BTW, if you actually read my earlier posts, it's pretty obvious I was watching the game, so that was actually a lame riposte.

                                Kirk has had a really flat second half of the season. I wonder if he is carrying an injury.
