worked earlier on in the year with fletch. He has a couple of really stand out performances playing that role. I suppose when (and if) we finally get a full team/spine on the field we can afford to do this. At the moment it is strictly about filling the key positions.

I thought that after the first quater to minimise the damage to our percentage they would have to do it.

Watched last week for the first time live all season.

Hardingham played loose man but played 8 metres off the contest. To far away for the handball out the back and to short for the cut off mark from their quick kick.

I agree. Hardy used to be close to my favourite young player but recently the brain farts and stuff ups seem to be coming more and more.

Yep. Jumps really high, but that;s about it. Cannot read the flight at all and often ends up looking like a dickhead because of his huge, mis-timed leap and wild spoiling "attempts".
