when it came to winning the game he failed miserably missed everything
Mansell's miss was bad. He should have kicked a score with that shot on goal. But I blame the constant turnovers, poor decision making and lack of chase over the whole game by so many players for the loss. Don't hang the kid on that mistake. As Hardwick said at least he got in the right spot to have the shot on goal.
Go in the right spot
Wow I hope we appeal the loss and afl awards us the 4 points coz he was in the right spot surely that counts for something
Nope...we have sleeping leaders with no sense of leading in these moments..Still mansell had a way better game than jack,prestia and graham
Such a fine line. Kicks his 3rd game over & he is the hero.
He missed & didn’t even score & highlights how bad our forward stocks are that he is playing up there.

Nigel had a better night than a lot of our other players. Unfortunately the young fella got all constipated on the match sealing kick n flubbed it badly.
First ever dream time game I think n after a fairly decent game there he was trying to nail his big moment in the spotlight. He's gunna be kicking himself n reliving his horror moment for a long time. Seen plenty of way better players have similar *smile* up moments in games, it happens in all sports, suck in some air n move along to next time.

What was worse than the missed kick was the one on one loss to Heppell on the wing. We had a spare at that contest, he simply had to bring the ball to ground. Heppell was finished 2 years ago yet we made him look like an AA last night.
Bad, really bad at a crucial stage of the game.
There were moments in the game where blunders were made.
By the way, hello to the PRE team

Feel for the kid , he busts his gut, yet weve put another unskilled player in our forward line
Not sticking the boots in, he is what he is.
I have never seen us kick it to the opposition as much across the whole ground.
I wouldn’t be plying Mansell but you get what you ask for if just want a role player with a job who tried hard - winning big games requires talent and ability as well however

Seagull might not be quite premium anymore, but the blokes a 200 plus game veteran, no surprise he'd win a contest or two against a scrapper like Nigel. Just as an aside, had a few Essendrugs supporters sitting in front of me last night n there was more than a few times they were bagging out Seagull for stuffing things up. Not sure he was anywhere near an AA performance.
Very much like Aarts last year. A bloke of barely AFL quality gets given games and makes a crucial mistake.
Terrible isn't it?
Never see any of those fancy million dollar a year players make crucial mistakes during a game. It's always those scrappy *smile* kickers that are lucky to get a game that *smile* things up for everyone.
Some posters would rather a substandard player have an improvesd season but cost the team a chance at finals. (let him improve in the 2"s)
Mansell's problem has been his football IQ and his kicking, it is very slowly imptoving but he is holding better players back.
Mansell's goals yesterday were a "joe the goose goal" and the other from a ducking into a tackle free, neither are sustainable over the course of a season.
So y and b, who is Mansell keeping out of the team given our injuries this year?
I thought Mansell’s game last week v cats and last night were OK.
The commentators were critical a few times that our players burnt players in better positions when they pinged at goals and missed - the team is out of form and plenty of players also - the attack on Mansell is a bit rich as we had few winners across the ground full stop, and I can’t think of any 4 qtr winners at all.

Heppell 9 cms taller than Mansell.
Having Baker on Langford similar.
Pisspoor matchups all over the ground
And the sad story Heppell match him for speed..he is tooo slow for a small
