Prestia !!

Spook if the club had come out and said he needed 10 matches off to get his knee 100% we would have heard a few grumbles but respected the long term decision.

To the contrary the club has said virtually nothing but has selected him in the team despite the putrid performances we are getting from him.

The club isn't going to come out and say anything because they know they've *smile*ed up and his knee is stuffed.

I mean...the guy can't even make contact with the football when he kicks because he can't feel his leg with the drugs he's obviously playing with.

They will come out and say stuff when he plays he first good game, be it rd 13, 15 or 18... etc and pump him up "That's why we traded for him" but ignore his previous poor form.

It sure is a bizarre kicking action right now. Looks like he's kicking with the wrong foot.

Disagree genuine A grader at his best. Question is whether his best is behind him? Would like to think not.
 
He's not unlike Cotchin where he gets hard to get balls but due to the pressure, he just gets it forward without being all that clean. On the outside he's probably quite skilled.
 
Whatever we were trying to achieve with resting him obviously worked to some extent. He played his best game for the club albeit in very weak company. Interesting to see if he can improve again.

That is odd CC he played a lot of time outside last week.

Yep only 7 contested yet disposal efficiency only 68%. Wasn't the worst of the midfielders though with lower contested results, Edwards had only 3 contested and 55% DE.

Why is it odd ? When his played his best footy he has been around the 40/60 cp palyer with an average of around 6 clearances a game, and yes I know he hasn't been at his best with us and yes I know you think we payed too much, agree or not, I think he was moving better last week and when he has played good footy he has been good in the clearances . I'm sure if he dosent play well you'll have plenty of evidence to continue to let me know how bad a pick up his been.

May not have played a game you'd hope from a $700k player, however my very simple point was he was moving better then he has in any other game and as I posted above, when his played his best footy has been good in the contested footy.

For $700k p.a. you'd reckon he could occasionally hit a target.

$700K pa for a clanger King midget
Our midget needs a smaller footy Just can't connect with an AFL size ball

Been very competitive tonight.

Only disposal wise. Been pretty poor otherwise. Only 2 contested possies yet only 66percent disposal efficiency. Doesn't impose at all
