Morris and Kingy i knew ,but i cant comment on AArts only as an observer

Morris just kept on going , limited ability but a machine

Kingy i lost count the amount of times id get to him on the ground and he would tell me " im fuxxed" id reply " fuxxed injured, or fuxxed tired?"
then the ball was kicked towards us and he would take off again like he was fresh as

That incident with the pies where they all went after him, he was getting a drink and said " im fuxxed" im thinking he is close to the interchange he will go off,
didak ran past and kingy yells at him " hey cuxt, wanna fight? " didak was pleading with him " no . i dont want to fight you"
kingy ran straight at him and it was on lol

that's gold

I was critical of him at half time, but his second half was really good.

Saved his bacon. Has set the level he needs to aspire to on a consistent basis.

I reckon he's just a consumer. Benefits from work up the ground. Rioli is going through the same ATM. Can't make things happen. Our small forwards need to bring a spark. I'd like to see someone else in the spot. Give it to Baker the "catalyst".

Castagna has some brownie points. Have supported giving Aarts a fair go but just don't think he's given enough this year overall.

Aarts is asking Lynch to give him the ball in the goal square so that he doesn't go goalless.

Thats a bit unfair, its characteristic of our team to always pass off to others in a better position. Not sure Lynch was confident with the set shot at that point anyway.

Aarts had some good moments without being outstanding.

Very differing opinions on Aarts, Aarts is very subjective.
Personally I am a fan of Aarts, different styles of Aarts, it's not alway pretty, but it's interesting Aarts.

Aarts is performing his role OK right now.

but we will clearly be a better side when he isn't in it.

Could easily have been among our better players last night, except he did a couple of really dumb things with the pill, and a couple of even dumber things without it. Not quite almost there player is Smock, one that fans will always love to hate. Goes at it hard as a cats head always competes to the best he's got, just needs to keep things quick n simple when he's got the pill. His own worst enemy when he's got thinking time.

Why are people so keen on Bakes forward?

Much prefer to see him further up the ground. Wasted inside f50 for mine.

Love the drive, defensive side of his game, energy and tone he sets. Lose a bit of that with him forward.

If the only way to get him out there was as a deep small forward then Ok.

But we would have one hell of a team if that was the case.
