    And more attention from defenders.

    I thought it was a much better game from Reid. Worked hard when the ball hit the ground and didn't appear to fumble.

      His disposal is rubbish.
      I wouldn’t say he kept them in it Barry, but you are right- disposal not good enough. Tries hard, but the weakest link in the team.

          Surrounded by a pack on the boundary at half back facing your own goal, everyone expecting a walk over the boundary and a throw in but no, he somehow sees McDonald is free and somehow gets enough purchase to get it to him. Ends up as a goal.

          Errol was a bit off v Kangas, but thre’s no loss of confidence there. Brilliant.

            Has anyone else watched/listened to Horse’s post-match press conference. Perhaps I’m reading between the lines too much but I’m not confident that JPK is coming back into the team.

                His switch up from "still has" to has something to offer was telling.

                  Why is there not more focus on that McLean dropped mark? It ruined a great passage from J-Mac to Logan to Hayward.
                  Because it was just a blunder that can happen to anyone. If he was doing it every week it would be a different matter. But he isn't.

                    I reckon there would be very few, if any, players in the competition who see the game as clearly as Errol. His ability to find the not so obvious, but best, option instantaneously and then get the ball there, is truly remarkable.

                      It is so impressive - that was such a great piece of play. I think Campbell also reads the game fantastically well too - he isn't quite at the same level of influence yet at the senior level, but both have all the hallmarks of being 200+ gamers.

                      I actually think the ability to read the game and see it clearly is one of the biggest advantages we get from the academy system. Mills, Heeney, Errol, Campbell - they all see the game so well, read the game so well, understand the game so well.

                        Ronke looks to have added quite a bit of muscle which will help him and his confidence. I had sort of written him off as a one hit wonder but the signs are most encouraging.

                            Seriously not funny...but of course, you already know that. You should just call yourself Embarrassing Double Downer.....with emphasis on the last word.

                              Come on Stevo. The best moment of the whole thread was when TheBloods answered Ladhams when asked if he had forgotten someone.

                              Most people on here were chuckling.

                                Were they ? Many people are now starting to wonder if some posters on here have psychological issues that need addressing.
