    And Reid would have played also, don't understand why we insist on playing talls in such wet weather..

        That free paid to Stringer was horrendous, nearly cost us a goal in the end. Shocking decision.

          Goodes isn't our worst player out there at the moment. He's not playing well, but he's not alone there. That's for sure Rampe and Shaw are still leading the way in that worst player department today.

          I always though Goodes came in for Harry and not Benny.

            He just needs to stay forward, he is not a mid-fielder anymore, too slow.

              Quite an uninspiring first half, but I think that we're gradually getting on top in the war of attrition. Hopefully we'll roll over the top in the second half.

                at least we made the change to plus 1 defence 5mins to go in the 1st qtr today

                last week we didnt make the chnge until the last minutes of the 2nd qtr when we were 40 or more pts behind

                I confident we can come back from this one.........2 goals behind is nothing compared to last week !

                  Goodes is struggling big time in my book - he just seems to be well off the pace. Shaw and Grundy not doing well either. We stemmed the momentum in that quarter but need to improve our decision making a lot in the 2nd half if we are to win.

                    Ramps isn't getting his body behind the ball. Fatal in the wet. Shaw, OMG!
                    We have them where we want them, everything is going according to plan!

                      Not watching as I get too nervous. Any cause for optimism at all?

                        He's looking slower than last season... and he was a slug last season!

                          We're only 2 goals down so its anyones game at this stage.

                              Goodesy's second efforts have to come from the ground these days...loses his feet much more easily than the good old days.

                              His first half, even though he had plenty of his mates down as well, didn't fill me with confidence for his immediate future in the 22.

                                Awful conditions, they're taking most chances near goals and we're not, 2 genuine howlers from Rhyce that both resulted in goals and we're down by 2. I'm not outrageously concerned.
                                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
