Deer in headlights. Timid on the big stage. Will be seeking redemption. Has a big future but tonight tells me he needs a rest And reset.

He wasn't brilliant tonight and will likely make way for Bachar. But he's worth sticking with in developing, he has some tools.

I reckon he gets caught trying to take on the tackler too often. He's not strong or agile enough for that, not yet anyway.

There's were question marks on Bachar's courage early too if some care to remember.
Egg has played 7 games. That was near his worst but I hope it's not curtains yet.

For me it's more his lack of urgency and lack of awareness with ball in hand that's the issue. Few times he took way too long and wasn't aware of his surroundings. Also he's not dusty and needs to stop the don't argues and get rid of it quicker.

If we'd had Hamish Hartlett we might have won.

Didnt see the game today but the Egg has been smashed and poached and fried all the the boards on here and on others.

Obviously didnt have a good one today, I cant bear to watch the replay either to see for myself.

Likely played his last game for 2020 save for injury or suspension with Bash back by the sounds of it.
Craig, you must watch the game. It was a ripper.

Was extremely poor tonight and looked Gassed.....
Caught a heap with the ball and looked slow.
Needs a rest and welcome Bachar back into his role

Has some skills, no doubt but needs to be tougher and more aware of his surroundings.
And when in doubt, kick the bloody ball!
Houli a nice upgrade for next week.
