Yeah, I don't get it.
He isn't impacting, so either rest him or play Martyn/RCD instead.

Indeed he did….Stack jumped on board and did some heavy lifting through the third as well. Needed more to follow them both.
Best game all year - did not contribute in the last quarter when it mattered.
It amazes me so many are itching to write off our triple premiership captain.
edit, triple premiership and reigning premiership captain

Not writing him off TS, but just think it's better to rest him and get him right for next year.
His immortality is more than cemented.
But he's playing hurt, and we just don't need him to!
Shai, bakes, RCD, Martyn, even caddy! We have options without roasting Cotchy
16 kicks
16 handballs
11 contested possessions
4 clearances
4 score involvements
6 Inside 50's
398 Metres ganies
*smile* Leysy, Minimal influence bahaha!
He was huge.
If not our best was in top 3. Including a 3rd quarter that nearly dragged us back on his own.
Cooked...Leysy's arse.

Refused to have a shot from 35? Can’t hit a target. He’s gotta be injured, he’s lost his zip and his touch. He’s operating purely on heart. And it’s a huge one. But he needs a rest. If he can’t get right for next season he needs to give it away. He’d be leaving as the tigers greatest ever captain in my eyes.
one things for sure there’s no way he could play half back flank. His ball use is simply too poor. It’s midfield or retirement for the chimp.
I didn’t watch him closely but didn’t think he had much influence. Was surprised to see he had 32 touches. He didn’t have a centre clearance. He had a game high 8 clangers for the tigers. Disp eff of 53%.
for a mid to get 32 touches and have 4 score involvements is revealing. I saw a captain refusing the set shot responsibility from 35m for the second week in a row. A captain doing quick kicks out of packs to the opposition. That kick off the ground in the last out of the centre to the wing ? Why? He has lost his step and his confidence for mine. His body must be hurting big time. He’s used it as a battering ram for 10 plus years. His kicking is worse than ever. I fear he won’t be able to get that power and speed back.
do you really think he can play a half back flank without being able to hit targets?
Geeez he busted his balls to keep us in the game, Skip was been the Skip , best game for the year.
Totally up to the Skip if he wants to keep going, he’s earns that right , tough conversation for his heart and hamstrings to have

Had a big third term no doubt & could see he was trying to lift us.
It wasn't enough.
Terrible decision to pass off the goal.
Kicking still not good.
The young Fremantle mids had far more influence on the result.
