He looked not right from the first minutes today. He still looked like he was concussed.
That's the worse I've seen him play.

He went down for a while in the first. Copped one in the face. Not sure of the effect it had, but he was off his game.
Is he better off at he instead of Ellis who panics and fumbles?
 
Think he lost every possible contest. Lacks the smarts to play forward if the ball.

He's a dour defender. That's it. Or the 2's.
 
Another first round draft pick who is just an average footballer. God we have more than enough at this club!

Do you use first rounders on small defenders or wingers?
Because we do.. Both Ellis's (shocking) conca (unbelievably bad pick6)

You forgot to mention slow flankers also Zips Lennon!
 
Wanted him moved on ball but he has zero ability forward.

Think he's consigned to reliable 16 to 22 in team reliable defender.
 
I think we need to cut Nick a break. I think he broke his nose again today. That would be 3 breaks and two concussions in the last 5 weeks.

I think Flossy needs a week off and more if required to give his body a real chance to heal.

I made mention of him copping one early in the game. I agree, rest him for a week or two.

Whats happened to Nick, used to be one of the most consistent, and most reliable players we had.
Played out of position.
As was Morris.
Our two gun forwards.
We were Dimmerised.
 
Move him back and leave him there - he can take B Ellis' spot. Don't think the experiment of mid/forward has worked.
 
hes gonna be breathing through his mouth the rest of his days if we dont give him a spell
 
I was under the impression he'd be playing predominantly midfield this year. Doesnt look comfortable at all up forward.

Needs to go back (defence or the 2's) Rather have Lennon or Lloyd fwd, at least they can take a grab

Doesnt look comfortable in the midfield either. We drafted a half back flanker who doesnt have the tank to play four quarters and doesnt get enough of it. We knew what we were getting when we drafted him as that was the knock on him as a junior. Another missed opportunity, as Grundy would have been very nice right now.
 
Continually played from behind. Like he wanted to.play forward like a defender.

Not.really impressed with him as a mod or forward. Needs his magnet squarely in the back.line
