    Deer in the headlights but a fair step up in intensity from the VFL to that game
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    Don't think he got near it Easty to be fair to him. Why Smith was playing and Hrovat is in the seconds is beyond me.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Re: Rookie Roarke to get his chance against Eagles

    Struggled with the trip, step up in intensity and frequency of the footy coming in. A bit stiff a few times to not get the footy or give away a free but mostly we didn't get enough from him in the context of who was out of the side and what the alternatives might have been.

    He'll get there, that was just a rotten day to make a debut.

    I must have missed the memo that said Hrovat is a HBF'er.

    That's because you're not in the coaches ear anymore

    Clearly he's not but with Biggs, Murph and JJ out there why transplant a similar player to the three mentioned to cover off on Boyd? Hrovat is simply a better player than Smith and as per Bevo's mantra we have other players that can cover a number of positions across the ground. Put Biggs to half back put Hunter on a wing and bring Hrovat in and play him midfield / forward.
