All he really has got is a great grab,and he isn't that bad when the ball hits the deck. Can't tap to advantage to save his life though.

I actually think he could be a good full forward.

I reckon if we are to persist with him, we should play him out of the square. Even consider playing another ruckman...3 big guys.

something like
Jetta, Laycock, Monfries
Lucas Lloyd Neagle/McPhee

No need to dwell on the negatives after such a great night, but yes, he was very ordinary again. Brisbane seized the momentum every time he went into the ruck.

It's funny how we see different things....I thought tonight was the best game he's played for ages...it was nothing spectacular but I thought he competed better than he has for awhile and if he'd kicked straight, he would have finished with at least three goals.

Will he be around next year? Do we need him more than we want him?

Bellchambers you would assume is still another year off, and Ryder should stay down back unless absolutely necessary. If Hille gets injured next year (touch wood) and Ryder has to pinch-hit in the ruck, He will have a more effective partner in a been there, done that Laycock as oppoosed to a still developing Bellchambers. Even if Hille stays fit, he can't be expected to shoulder the ruck duties week in, week out with only minimal support from Ryder and Bellchambers.

I would have to agree with you Swoods, thought he was a hell of a lot better than he has been all year tonight. We know what we are going to get from him guys, Dean Cox he ain't! Thought he actually showed some sort of mongrel finally, and whatever the outcome, he seemed to cause Brisbane a match up head ache when he went forward. He did actually manage 3 scoring shots which if were converted would of turned a few of you guys' opinions. I know I will be shot down and ridiculed but I cannot really see the point in denegrating this guy on here every week. In what may be an indictment on our club........ he is still CLEARLY the 2nd best option we have for the ruck!! Tonight was indeed a SMALL step in the right direction and I believe the coaching staff would have viewed it in the same way.

Sometimes when players piss you off enough, you eventually get tunnel vision - you only see/remember their mistakes. For me, the passage of play that I most remember is the missed tackle on Collier(spelling?) which led to him kicking the goal. This has happened a couple of times now in the last few weeks - it was pretty poor effort.

Collier broke through two tackles to get that goal...speaking of tunnel vision, who was the other player whose tackle was broken (I don't remember who it was but I remember it happening)

For a 200cm 100kg bloke he is as weak as p*ss. Lay a f*cking tackle you mug. He is simply not good enough if we are serious about playing finals footy in the next couple of years.

he's just so damned soft.

he could start by shaving off those gay locks of his - go the skin head and at least try and look tough.

Well I counted at least 3 goals he gave away...so maybe if he had of kicked straight he would have broken even.

I just dont think hes a ruckman this guy. Seems to amble around the ground in slow motion - plays like hes playing kick to kick in a school yard or something. I reckon leave him in the forward pocket as he can take a grab and is OK when the ball hits the deck but thats about it. Maybe he can handle the ruck contests in the forard 50 which would give Hille a bit of a chop out. Unfortunately we still need him as Bellchambers is a little way off from all reports. he must frustrate Matty Knights...
