Speaking of poor disposal, young Merrett is rubbish. Most of his kicks are just long bombs to no one and when he has to hit a target he can't.

Giles is reasonably shit. Not the worst out there but just an observation going forward. Old school without the benefits e.g doesn't throw his weight around / is not imposing.

Once again disgraceful viewing. No heart no sesne of want from these blokes. Just plain woeful. Seems they have no self respect from the effort they are giving.

I'm actually more disgusted by this effort than either the Saints or Cats debacles

Disgusted beyond words

After 45 years of unwavering support for this club I'm almost over it.

If these players don't want to try for each other, how about trying for the people who pay your damned wages

And his decision to always take advantage is bewildering.

Ambrose getting outbodied by Caleb daniel (?) small helmeted fellow is indicative of our performance. Not quite sure how Ambrose is a walk up start every week.

Maybe we are now called Essentank.

Playing for 4th or 5th pick.

Slow
Predictable
Unskilled
Dumb
Sameness

Then the second quarter took it up a notch and we were blown off the park.

If Carlisle is going, we need to get two top 10 draft picks that have pace and inside grunt. We were lumbering Neanderthals today.

Surely Ambrose and Steinberg cannot be persisted with.

How the f*** does Ambrose stay in ahead of McKernan? :evil:

I'd play Carlisle back and leave Hooker forward. I also wouldn't play Melskham or Cooney.
To answer your question about Ambrose's selection in best 18 - best you consult champion data, I was surprised too!!! Question answered.

Surely we can't lose our chosen draft pick now, who ever that is?

Hibberd is playing like he climbed out of a hole but his head is on back to front, poor man. :-({|=

Surely we can draw a line through a few duds now right?

Makes list management easier at the end of the year.

We won't win another game this year. What a disgrace.

One man's dud is another's required player.
Stanton anyone?

I wouldn't be relying on our list managers to get anything right.

Positives:

- 4 weeks to go

- These rubbish games are showing the end of list cloggers and some players who just aren't good enough

Negatives:

- Everything else

Gold Coast should beat Brisbane next week and go above Carlton.

Was quite predictable that Steinberg's opponent regardless of who it was kicks goals. I think he will be given the rest of the year to see if he shows anything at all and then will be delisted.
