Another nothing game from Bobble again last night. 150 games in and way to often the overall contribution to the match is virtually non existent. Everyone has bad patches during games even the occasional stinker, but as a mature senior player their is an overall performance / contribution level that must be reached during most of the game on a weekly basis.Unfortunately for us there's way to much disparity between when Bobble plays well n when he's just Bobble.

We have to find a replacement.
I was hoping he continued with some form so our comp from pick 70 will go down to 40, but after last nights game.
Pick 106 is looking good

Back to the p!ss weak Bellis tonight. Some of his one on one work was abysmal
yeah, one of his worst games for a while.

Trhought the Bobble was back to his best after the last few games, but he was atrocious last night.

Dirty nights always make the bottom 6 seem terrible.

thought Bellis, George, Broad, Menadue, $hai all seemed terrible.

But with leadership and a spirited win, they will seem great.

Its a sort of a universal law I reckon
 
Courageous last week, maybe he assumed it’d happen naturally this week? It’s clearly a mindset thing because he looked scared again.
 
Bobble head was back last night.

What is he next year RFA or a FA?

Let's get get what we can for him.

Bizarre turn-around.

Presumably the dogs put a bit of work into him.

Every game like last night reduces his value, and desirability as a recruiting target. Free agent or not.
 
That is what frustrates me about him. We know what he can do, but he just goes missing, within games and for whole games. Considering our injuries and his experience, we can't afford crap games from him, average he can get away with, I wouldn't be happy but I'd take it. The gap between his game against Port and his game last night is immense. Acceptable from a young player, not from an experienced player.
 
So disappointing. Clearly not a leader’s bottom, but for someone who has played >100 games, his contribution was insipid.

Deer in the headlights too often. Agree, give Naish a crack.
 
Speaking with a couple of intelligent young men last night they were of the belief he stays, I hope in this case there wrong, Brando’s ok, however I’d prefer we free up some coin for the re signing of some talented youngsters

Odd put Houli into your list. Thought Bolton and menadue close to 5/10 games.
 
Went to hospital today for an xray. I've got a small fracture in my hand. It happened when I lost it and smashed my hand against the arm of the couch after one of Bellis' *smile* weak efforts that lost a one on one resulting in a goal.

*smile* pissant. I put my body on the line more than he ever will ;D
 
Needs consistency. He was our only player not to lay a tackle last night. For that reason alone, I'd be surprised if they play him Rd 8.

Plays scared after 150 games. Nothing will change
He needs a new club and we need a new player

Was that when he went feet first into a contest? So not only did he not impact the contest in a good way, he lost his feet and couldn't then impact running back to goal. *smile* weak. The fact that he ran at -24 metres gained for a player that should be moving the ball forwards is shocking.
