    My dad sat me down one rainy day when I was young and played Rubber Soul, then Pet Sounds and then Sgt Peppers and explained the flow to me. He's a good man.
    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 time

      Not Kennelly, but there have been numerous instances over the Roos era of players being out on the ground who probably shouldn't have been. Look at Craig Bolton this year, had the achillies injury over the pre-season, was obviously ineffective due to it and was played till breaking point which coincided with the weeks we needed him most.

          There are some names that stand out on that list in terms of %. Hannebery, Rohan, Smith, Jetta and.....

            Aren't there what.

            Jesse White - 10 games - 11goals, 5 behinds, 68.8%, 1.1 p/game
            Gary Rohan - 5 games - 6 goals, 1 behind, 85.7%, 1.2 p/game

            Young Gaz is going alright up front when you compare the two, considering he's been played at half back for a large percentage of those games.

            That list also explains why we've been screwed (not that we didn't already know) without D-Bra and B-Mac. 5.4 goals p/game between them.

              Keep in mind that White has probably spent as much time in the ruck as Rohan has in the backline this season. Hitting at about 70% is fine for a forward.

                Oh for sure. It wasn't too much of a Jesse bash, just saying how we look to Jesse up front as being a key target when in fact Rohan is contributing as much if not more. It was more praise for the Rang then a blight on Jesse. The kid is going great.

                  Don't get me wrong, I love me some Rohan as well and I get what you mean!

                          Jetta: 12 points now? No goals, and starting to look insecure.Had a perfect chance to do some magic and kick a goal,plenty of time and monstered it. Definately time to go for MOD,Moore or McGlynn
                          Playfair: Is he in the team to attract a tall defender? He missed some classic markable chances ,fell over as soon as the ball went to ground and he offers us no future. Mc Glynn would give us more at FF and he's short but at least he would crumb.
                          Bevan: Ok ,just ok,a great goal and a good goal. Not in our best 22 though overall
                          Malceski: B@#$% aweful game. Cost us 3 goals and was responsible for keeping The Bombers in the game when we were pulling away.

                          Ins:
                          McGlynn, Moore , MOD, TDL

                          McGlynn, Moore Obvious selections. MOD deserves it more than anyone else. With Bradshaw out we miss finishing class and polish. TDL has this and needs development time. Otherwise its just Jesse with any forward panache. Goodes is somewhere else in his head right now.Plus his opponent runs off him all day.

                          Aren't you glad Malceski wasn't dropped. Dropping him for the Port game was not an unreasonable position. Thank goodness the selections retain faith in him.

                            Let me explain so that you finally get it. My comments about the Eski referred to LAST weeks game and not this weeks game and were my opinion back then.I cerainly was not alone in that opinion..Last time I looked it was a free country and I am entitled to my opinon. Its rare to see a senior player "dragged" and he was clearly upset with himself for slipping from his own high standards. Being the champion player he is ,he responded tohis poor game LAST week with a blinder and all praise to him. I am confident he knew he had to put a good one in. Great to see LJ kick another 5 goals in the reserves and TDL 4 goals.

                              Yeah,really glad and its a shame you didn't refer to a later post where I admitted dropping him was probably too harsh. This is "water under the brige now" surely .Raising the issue back then gave a us a few good posts in an otherwise boring week, so yu should thank me for that.And yes.I can be wrong and make mistakes too. So what?
