Nice one Jackson, you're off to Sydney with your turnovers. McMahon... terrible, pathetic. How does he get a game week after week, St Kilda would have to patients at an insane asylum to trade for him. Thomson.. done zip.

are you from WA at all.

has claw been banned
 
Tell ya what if it wasn't for a couple of our pensioners tonight it would be a lot worse.
 
McMahon, streams into goal and kicks it out on the full. Absolute dud.
 
What about Nahas....needs to learn to steady or something...but Mcmahons ....comical. Polak has been floating around half forward...doing little. Certainly hasn't had a kick when Ive been watching.
 
All this whinging tonight.

I'm rapt - we're "COMPETITIVE"

think about our last 2 weeks.

we're not out of this game at all.

I do admit its not the best thing that its our older players doing it tonight, but geez I will take this over what we had the last 2 weeks.

turn it up U2 - i could counter that argument with about 8 responses
 
anything is better than the last 2 weeks, what are we meant to platy like the Saints all of a sudden.

i will still take being competitive as a start.

my comment is about this game not what may or may not happen after the season.

I think he should go to - but me wanting him to go - doesn't stop me acknowledging when someone is having a good game.

give credit when is credit is due.

dont let facts get in the way of negativity.

Especially when kicking is supposed to be his strong point.

Him being bowled over twice by Franklin is embarrassing.

I'm keeping a little chart, giving every player a +1 or -1 for every good or bad thing they do. Only player in the positives is Deledio at +2. Hmmmm.

:rofl :rofl :rofl Embarrassing is the right word. Geez he's pissweak. Couldn't lay a tackle on a 10 year old.
 
Deledio uses handball beautifully. The goal assist to Cousins was exquisite.

That competitiveness should be the minimum we get every week. The disappointing thing is that we could be in a much better position tonight if we had a bit more quality in the team. McMahon, McGuane, White, Jackson, Polo, et al, simply don't have the skills to execute effectively. They can be as desperate and competitive as they want, but they have to be able to back it up with some substance.

I can also see why the Dawks won't make the 8. They haven't been that impressive. Against decent teams, they'd get slammed.

So what he's right, we are at least throwing ourselves into the contest and maintaining our intensity.

Hawks are playing 10 players under 21 years of age due to injuries, we're playing 4. They're much, much younger and better. We're also playing 3 players over 30 (who are carrying us tonight), Hawks 0. Future is bleak.
 
I am not in favour of trading Deledio, but if was gonna happen, it should happen to GC, and we would have to get 3 picks.
Point being, he can play.

That's 3 times that I remember. Do you have any other lines ?
