He is cooked
I love BigV but if his name was John Smith we would all be screaming for him to be dropped.
Slips over all the time.
He dosent intercept anymore.
Some his stuff ups are embarrassing.
I really sick of goals being conceded when they shouldve been put through as a behind.
He was directly responsible for 3 goals.
 
He’s out of form. Plus having uncompetitive rucks & no Lynch down the line isn’t helping with what the backs see when exiting defence. He’ll improve & I think Broad’s return will help.

Seems to be taking things for granted now. That HTB on the boundary waiting to get tackled by 2 players was childish stuff. It's obvious some old players have had enough and just going through the motions.
 
Head not in the game.

Whether that’s just lack of interest or that car collision Dangerfield gave him, the end result is the same.

He’s done.

Was once so great ...but the last two seasons have been horrid..Once again with the game in the balance he coughs up a dumb brain fart free kick and just like that demons goal.

Viking used to be our most ruthless and courageous player. This was his 1 wood with reading of the play and intercept marking.

I haven’t seen any of this and ant all during the season.

A fortnight in the VFL wouldn’t hurt him. Not cooked at all. Just lost his way for now. Prick his pride Dimma.

I watched him pretty closely tonight. Poor game. He played on Chandler and Fritsch a lot and they kicked 4 between them.

Early in the game he got dragged and sat on the bench. His body language looked poor after that. He looks frustrated and down. New role time ?

Never seen a guy slip over as much as he’s doing this year.

Yep. Body language is obviously negative at times.
 
Is he in his 2nd year on a 5 year deal or something?

He's completely cooked at 29. *smile* danger.

Can't see him still being best 22 like Doherty into his 30s. Is already in massive decline and will be depth pretty soon.
 
Agree he's a shell of his former self.

Needs VFL time, perhaps could morph into our medium marking forward that I think we are lacking

Maybe he needs to get the 3017 beard back ?

Whatever it is he looks far from the player he was for so long but there's a few at this stage for whatever reasons.
