Ok so yeah what he did was dumb and unnecessary, but I do understand it.
But I wish a few more had’ve come in and helped him rather than a dozen Dogs players standing there over him. He would fly the flag for a teammate if it was anybody else, and has done before many times.
I disagree WOB, everyone on the ground knew the whistle was 30 seconds away and we were 4 goals down, Mclean (hunter, macrae, dahlhaus) had been dropping their knees and throwing their head backs all day. I enjoyed him giving it to him - I didn’t enjoy noone coming in to help him. Good on the dogs though, there was 15 of them.
Full marks to lav and raz being the first ones in there to stick up for him. Then hep and tommy came in straight after. Shame on all the others players standing aroubd watching and not helping out
Those kicks are generally there for him to pull off.
It’s just that our entire spread and work rate out of the stoppage was nonexistent today.
The one he did try to Colyer shouldn’t have been taken though. Little separation on his man and as soon as Colyer gets near it, everyone knows that he has to fumble it at least twice before he thinks he can pick it up and shank it out on the full or to the opposition.
dunno if we can afford it with Jobe seeming in need for a rest but I’d give BJ a rest - he’s been pretty average in recent times. Kelly’s coming back, maybe also bring in a Stanton in BJ’s place.
He really held up along half back there for periods in the adelaide game.
Hes no Goddard 2010, but he is still servicable for age… … Just depends if our game plan going forward includes him running lose around half back… if it does, not much better than him.
Has struggled in recent weeks but was very good earlier in the year.
I doubt Kelly is going to play on. Goddard should play his role next year and stay out of the midfield.
Thought Parish was excellent tonight and we need more midfield minutes for the next generation
With our slow fumbling old midfield it wouldn’t matter if we had the best halfback flankers in the league. They just go missing an unaccountable. Till that get fixed nothing will change. Goddard could probably play Kelly’s role next year but if Myers Heppell howlett green r jogging around an colyers form we r screwed
