angus graham playing like a cardboard cutout

Watch the replay when the ball is bounced Graham stares at the other ruckman then jumps not once having looked at the ball.
Its like a comedy routine the way the ball falls back to ground without Graham even close to tapping it.
Its time for Browne to get his chance he couldnt do any worse.

Browne is far from the finished article but can be no worse. Gus wasnt even competitive.

Brownes been playong well week in week fir coburg posting numbers gus could never achieve at that level and deserves his chance.

Browne can at least take a grab and i think given more opportunity would provide more if not at least the same level as what Gus does

been doing it all year, do you just notice?
 
Witchy(hat) was *smile* today!! Ridiculous how he watches the other ruck and not the ball, especially when Hudson doesn't jump. Take a knee and take his head off. In saying that Browne is and never will be ready. We have to just cop it and hope Derickx is at least agile and/or co-ordinated.
 
graham, heart of a pea,and not just this game,no physical presence at all ,please get rid of this bloke he gives us nothing.
 
Interestingly, before the match Brendan Lade was on radio. When told "you must have taken to Gus since you're both islanders" he was rather quick to say they have got opposite personalities.

Angus Graham seems, to me anyway, like a bit of a downer or at least he has that aura. He is always tired, sore, exhausted, it's too hard, etc.

He's a good athlete and not a bad footy player actually, I just think his mindset is questionable for a dominant finals team.
 
If Graham's opponent played for us instead of them, we would have won by 6 goals.

Fair dinkum he is scared (stares at the other ruckman rather than the ball). Gives soft frees away piling in too late and has slow hands.
Our best passges of play today coincided with either Vickery in the ruck or Hudson out of the ruck.

We have no hope against Essendon's talls next week if he is our 1st ruck.

T4L cannot abide this.....he is a disgrace of footy player, has one of the biggest bodies walking around Melbourne and plays as though he's as weak and skinny as I am. His reaction time is non existent, footy smarts? Zero Footy Ability? Negative 5. The small amount of times he managed to get his mit on the ball he gave it straight to a dogs player. Did you see him during the throw ins get turned inside out time and time again? If he thinks rucking is running into the opposition ruckman at every bounce then gee whiz until we find someone else to get in there and contest the ruck properly then we are going N O W H E R E!!!!
 
Gosh he was bad tonight. Hopefully Derickx will be ready soon. Tries hard but he just isn't up to scratch. When the ball hits the ground he may as well not have arms.
 
still playing like a cardboard cut-out. slow mover, slow thinker and doesnt get his knees dirty around the clearances. he should watch videos of the way hudson, mumford, ottens and cox follow up after the initial ruck contest and it will help him not become the ineffective player that he currently is. have to keep playin him as we dont have anybody else but i think his spot on the list will be in jeopardy if he doesnt become a 2nd, 3rd and 4th effort ruckman
 
As I said before lids&bling did you watch the game ? Not too many others agree with you and many echo my sentiments so wake up to yourself.
