    Agree with this. Not reaching his usual standards.

    Not at his best, he's always been slow and thus not had much time to dispose of the ball but he's actually giving away holding the ball frees now from being run down
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    He was at the game as part of the official retro round festivities. The reaction from the crowd was...luke warm.

    I think he handed the match ball to the umpires or something.

    I clapped, have always like Terry.

    Bevo made reference in his talk on Jacko's appointment on his ability to lead by example and his will to win, but looking on from afar his behavior on the field isn't that of a leader and feel it was a mistake to put him in this leadership position.

    Thoughts?
    My thoughts mirror yours. He looks dejected when he made a mistake (and he made plenty early), and completely checked out for those critical 3 seconds following his involvement in plays. It was a really, really bad look.

    We chose him so we are stuck with him in this role.

    Refuse to believe the GF hasn’t torn the heart out of the plying group. Saw someone post that as a playing group they haven’t even watched the replay. I know it’d hurt but there are some home truths there that need to be addressed.

    Happened in round 1. In plenty of rounds this year we’ve been near enough and just not been able to close the gap, and in plenty of others we have started well and just been obliterated.

    Whatever the catalyst is for us to completely switch off needs to be found but it is playing out in so many of our best players from last year
