Not even up to performing with Morse code: a little bit of dot dot dot, but no dash.
Miller was not our main issue tonight. It’s our bloody inability to hold onto a *smile* lead !
He was ok but I reckon the backline looked a bit unsettled at times & lacked the usual surety.
Vlastuin was a big out after his stupid act last week.

Ralphy back there too. We were unsettled alright, Olds. Grimes played tall too. Not our structure.
As for Miller, he played his fourth game. I thought he was ok.
Miller's main issue has been his timidity, especially in the air. He stood under and took a terrific mark as the pack converged on him, right in front of me yesterday. As good a front posi mark as you'd expect from Grimes or Broad. Kicked the ball beautifully. Mabs probably beat him on the day, but Mabs is a very talented player who was fired up for the game so no shame.
Mabs had 9 touches, and though I didn't see the whole game, he seemed to get his goals over the back, wasn't a lot of one-on-one contesting.
I'm talking about yesterday. Chol took three contested marks, the most in the game. Nine score involvements, third in the game. 10 contested possessions, equal seventh in the game.
How does he have 10 contested possessions from a total of 9 touches?
He seems to have improved as a player since moving north, and good luck to him, he probably would have played the bulk of games with us, if he had stayed, the way our season has panned out.
You can win possession and not dispose of the ball. Happens every time a bloke is tackled without getting rid of it.
Mabs is having a good year. Improved again, as he has every year.
It's an anamoly but I think it's fair enough if you beat a bloke in a contest for the pill for it to be counted as a contested possession whether you dispose of it or not.
Anyway, good on Mabs, he's had a good year with the Suns, test will be if he backs it up next year, if they continue to imrpove, and play finals.
Chol's game consisted of a few short leads, a couple if good grabs when he could push Miller off the ball and lots of waiting out the back. Oh, and he chased twice.
On Miller, he was OK. Nothing great, but nothing bad, tho disappointing he let Chol out muscle him a couple of times.
