Yep. That Pendles effort, yikes.
Looking less confident with ball in hand.
Strange set of circumstances, he is looking much older than he is.

I'll quote this post by saying that I am starting to get off the 2017-20 Tiger train and walk towards the 2024- Tiger train as I reckon these 2-3 premiership players in our team are probably in their 2nd mind (close to retirement) and loss of hunger in wanting to build to the next flag. Let's start blooding the kids who have 0-1 flag in their history with us as their hunger is way bigger. The more hunger you have the bigger the effort and enthusiasm. Samson Ryan an example.
Looked like he might have got one in the midriff from the glancing shepherd just before that.
I am actually very glad to hear that.
I didn’t see it at the time.
Just saw him stationary and appear to be ball watching.
Vloss ball watching was one of the more shocking and disturbing things I’ve seen on a football field for some time.
Thank goodness there is a plausible explanation.
Vlas decline has been coming over last two years, is a brilliant intercept mark as a spare defender now with no stand rule is barely on his own and must defend against faster younger forwards. The do or die intensity is no longer there and i agree the head knocks may be an issue. Not writing him off but need a replacement coming through earlier than later.
Whats happened to this bloke? Seems to be every game at the moment where he is turning the ball over at the wrong times and wrong places of the ground and he gifts goals to teams.
Another one today from a kick in, in the 3rd, just massively uncharacteristic errors that he wouldn't have made a year or so ago. His kicking skills have always been elite and just seem to be dropping away a bit.

He’s having to defend his man more often is the real answer. There’s no Rance or Astbury to shore up the backline any longer.
Balta is fine, but Nick’s game will fully come back once Broad gets back from suspension and Gibcus from injury.
His intercept numbers are well down & his turnovers are well up.
I'm hoping it's just early season cobwebs but there's a lot of certainty in his game atm for a player who's been a rock for a long time.
I wanted him as captain when Cotchin stood aside. Seems to be only half interested. A first gamer in Wagner wanted the ball more than him.
I'm staggered at how he was so astounded that he gave away that free kick in the first quarter.
He hasnt looked right since Danger sniped him.
He went from our most reliable ball in hand to a hacker.
