I thought Liam Ryan's effort to mark the ball in the 3rd quarter was weak as p. It looked like a certain shot on goal but he heard foot steps.

He hit back with a couple of big moments in the last quarter though. I thought Jarrah getting across to him at 3/4 time and putting his arm around him was what a really good teammate does.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

I assume you mean Jetta, but i thought that was quite odd considering Jetta has heard his fair share of footsteps throughout his career.

You are correct. I may have been making myself a frothy milk drink when I was posting that.

Gary Rohan - Played 2, Lost 2 - Total 12 disposals, 5 marks & scored 1.1 (average 6 disposals, 2.5 marks & .5 goals, .5 behinds.
Leon Davis - Played 4, Lost 3 & Drawn 1 - Total 36 disposals, 6 marks & scored 2.1 (average 9 disposals, 1.5 marks, .5 goals, .25 behinds.
Kurt Tippett (In the context of being a Million Dollar KPF/Ruck player) - Played 2, Lost 2 - Total 26 disposals, 8 marks & scored 1.2 (average 13 disposals, 4 marks & .5 goals, 1 behind)
It’s not a Grand Final, but Rohan with three touches (33% eff.) to 3/4 time in a QF (71 minutes played). I can’t recall the enormous gap between H&A and finals for a player since Neon Leon.

He has had a very poor second half of the season

See - I think the opposite. The only time he looked like a player was when he was playing out of the goalsquare at the start of this season. At Sydney and since his return from injury this year he has been a promise of much (speed, skilled - he must look amazing at training) but a deliverer of very little. I don’t think Geelong should play him.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.
