I called out Suckling last week, everyone else didn't give him a mention. Proof is in the pudding. He's a liability and we're a better team without him.

I've been concerned each round, but for different reasons over the course thus far.

Tom Boyd's embarrassing effort has cost him an injury and it's left us heavily exposed in the ruck. Campbell's going to get worked over like you wouldn't believe from here on in.

The little man in Suckling's head has started talking negatively after his two HTB against, it's a pity, as he actually started the game with a couple of hard efforts.

It's hard to tell from the couch, but it seems we are really pissing around with the footy when taking it forward.

Geee suckling??? I can't remember a quarter like it. He should donate his match fee to the kids.

Only 2 goals. Rough end of the umpiring. Tom Boyd with a possible fractured cheekbone. Many not doing simple things right. Not many winners.

Hopefully that's the bad half of this game for us.

Anyone else finally concerned at what we're dishing up?

Really poor quarter for us. We can't get a clear run at it and we don't have enough players winning their position.

Lairising jeemak. Some of the flicking around is borderline arrogance

I've haven't been a fan and I think there is too big of a gap between his best and worst efforts. He tends to look great when we are playing well and pretty bad when we aren't.

2 goals in a half of footy against a side 0-3 at our home ground.

Our kicking for goal is as poor as it's ever been, we're incredibly fumbly and have zero system moving forward. It's a combination of the forwards not moving and stuffing around with the ball with poor handballs.

Roberts and Adams have held up OK considering

We are playing like we are 6 goals up and coasting.

No point recruiting Cloke if you can't consistently hit him up. I feel sorry for him, because some 'fans' will get into him but he's got no say in hitting the scoreboard lately.

Both our imports in Suckling and Cloke have been poor. Jong and Dahlhaus are keeping us in the game with many players down. Just two goals in a half of football isn't good enough.

Agreed.

About the only one working hard to create space and provide a target though, the rest of the forwards are stagnant. Partly to blame are our half backs and mids who are playing arrogant over possessive football.

Interesting half coming up we need to respond.

NBP you have pretty much nailed it. While Clokes team mates aren't helping him get into the game he still hasn't been good enough
Suckling needs to lift. Dahlhaus and Jong have been real trying their hardest.

It goes without saying that we need to lift.
