Yeah he's disposal has been terrible (as has all of his team mates) but at least he's getting it. What's the excuse for his team mates??
Loss of passion. Hunger sated. Cue in rack.

You may be right and if so that is disappointing. We should have still been competing this year. Injuries have hurt but we still should have been up there in the top 6. We still have 15 premiership players out there and we're getting slaughtered.

The Hawthorn, Brisbane and Geelong dynasty teams were all competing in finals after their last flag. We've jumped out of a plane at 30,000 feet without a chute.

Ross and Short leading the team for disposals and metres gained. No influence.
Reckon some bigger names than these need questions asked of them today Spook.

S. Bolton at the top of the list.

Opportunity definitely knocks today.

doesn't need to get 25,

contested ball, tackles, and disposal efficiency is what I'm looking for
Got 26 at least. Still playing in the wrong position though.

I take your point, but Bolton has shown he can play, he was pisswaek today sure. Ross on the other hand just doesnt have enough skill or smarts.

Yeah agree. But today I'm a lot more disappointed with Shai than I am with Ross. Though Ross' first few games in 2019 showed he has something.

Still can't see what we have got to lose by giving Ross a run in the guts for the rest of the year. The season is *smile*; let's give some of these young guys a go. Our old blokes are injured and/or cooked.

Ross was good today but not a winger. Hopefully they are trying to build his tank then move him back in the middle.

Hopefully. Otherwise he's been handled very poorly by the coaches this year.

I respectfully disagree. It doesn't matter what postition the evil coaches choose to put him in, he isn't up to the level. Can get the ball, works hard, has a crack, but just isn't good enough.

Can’t believe they went with Parker over Ross in the center bounce.

Not the answer. And had long enough. Time to give Dow or RCD a consistent run.
Agree on Dow and RCD but leave Ross in with them. Get rid of George and Aarts for a start. Both have been woeful for most of the season; especially George.
