Re: WB Game Day V St. Kilda R2 2020
Bevo looking like he is wasting another early season game due to selection. Surely he would have leant by now.

Gardner wouldn't look half as bad if he wasn't under constant pressure.
And, as you and others have said, Gardner's ability or lack thereof isn't our issue.

Yeah, we're getting what we deserve with Gardner. He was never going to provide anything so no point tipping it on him.
Gowers, too. He's doing what he's always done.
Bont isn't a captain's a-hole at this point.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Ok so the shining light is Bailey Smith. He is a gun and in everything. I hope he stays as I recon the crows will come hard for him.
BB.
Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

Fair call. Let's be honest, Bont has been pathetic v GWS, Pies and for a half v Saints. Macrae slightly better, Dunkley MIA, ditto JJ. These are meant to be our better players.
Smith has been our only positive during these games. Absolute jet.
Moreover, we're bloody soft

Re: WB Game Day V St. Kilda R2 2020
A lot of us were concerned that they would be too tall for us but that hasn't eventuated yet so what exactly is going wrong?
Can Bont lift?

Getting smashed in contested ball, Libba would have been handy I suppose.

Not quite, but they have not been effective. Smith has played well, Dunks most disposals on the ground. We just aren't delivering the ball into the forward 50 very well. Gardner, Gowers should not be playing.

Yeah thats fair but also none of those guys nave given away two free kicks for no reason directly leading to goals and also have missed targets with all their kicks.
We should all be sick that they keep going past AFL standard players to pick Gardner.

To sum it up simply, we are soft front runners who buckle under real and perceived pressure and every side knows it.
Can't wait for more talking during the week...

We’ve kicked 8 goals in 6 quarters
Totally unacceptable and to be honest
Embarrassing

So is it time for Naughton to go back, Gardener in the ruck and English up forward.
