    He's going better than Hewitt and Cunningham.
    Yeah better than Cunningham but not Hewitt - either way if he is our option in the starting 22 we are worse than I thought.

      I have gone right off Naismith! He is useless. I hope the new blokes finger has healed! He'll be needed.

          When you have the likes of Cunningham, Towers, Florent, Foote and Hewett in your forward line you can't expect any forward pressure. Way too soon for Florent to be in the side. On Hewett....he needs to understand footy is not played lying on the ground. His first instinct is to go to ground. I reckon he is way over rated.

            What a god damn awful 3rd quarter. Soft as butter in the middle, pathetically soft. Port working so much harder amd making space, we simply have not worked hard enough. Throw in the brain fades and silly errors and itll be a miracle if we get anywhere near winning.

              Our top 12 players are the equal of any in the league after that we seem to fall off for quality. Possibly we let the wrong ruckman move on as well.
              Poor start to Kennedys captaincy unless we can lift.

                We are losing everywhere!! Wish I could see the stats but the afl app is stuffed.

                Really really disappointing. Can't believe how bad we are playing.

                One more quarter to hopefully pull something out. The rain doesn't help!

                  Ug in the other thread you questioned my comment about backline being weak today so far (just 3/4 time) says it is could nt defend last 2 minutes before half time and now just putting on their boot. Need a lot of changes to it.

                    Towers is a complete and utter clutz and I never want him to be in the red and white again
                    He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.

                      If there was any doubt about how poor Towers is that play he did in the middle says it all. NFI

                        Cunningham's tackle on Wines was what I'd do on a 5yo kid in play in the back yard.

                        Swans turned up - thought we'd win - result spanked on the arse.

                          Probably shortest attempted footpass not to hit a target in history

                            So many players need to be playing NEAFL next week! Problem is, who comes in...

                              I really wanted Towers to work out but he is a terrible footballer. No peripheral vision. Panics every time he gets the ball. He is the proof that 80% of the game is in the mind and has the mind of a puppy.
                              He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.

                                Foote can't play again.

                                Slow, average skills, low awareness. Not blaming the loss on him it is that I struggle to see how he impresses people. Bit like Craig Bird.
