        I will being yelled at/nagged about not paying attention whilst writing to this and ignoring something about something form the better half. My guess is dinner looking at the time. I don't know, i was trying to pay attention to you people, but my wife doesn't understand. The nerve.

        But point taken, i dont want to drop my standards to BF style 'txting' language.

        Now i know how Borgy felt when TCD was picking on him

          I wouldn't have thought it would be too hard to proof read a 4 sentence post before you hit the submit button.

            It has been rectified and hope we can move past this.

              I watched that game. Not a lot in the Mooney 'spoil' . Should be right to play

                Just curious as to why some are calling for Tom Williams to be dropped?

                I thought he was terrific today on Brad Miller. I'm not a big wrap for Miller but he's been quite good for Melbourne this year & today he was kept goal less by Tom.

                  Tom is defending fine, but it seems his attacking side to his game is struggling this season. He hasn't taken many marks and hasn't created much from defence. He's similiar to Morris a couple of seasons ago. Stops his opponent but doesn't offer much offesnively. I'd like to see him improve in this area.

                    soupaman, who won the battle today, Williams or Miller?

                    Miller has been in terrific form.

                      With Hargrave out and Gilbee at HFF, our backline really struggled to create many creative forward thrusts

                          I rate Addison and I think he will become an important player for us eventually, but he isn't creative. With Shaggy out, would it have been a better option to play Ward off a back flank and instruct him to run and carry and use his good foot skills, rather than play Addison who is a stopper more than a play maker?

                            As I said in the Slaps and Sledges thread he's falling into Sockeye's 'pre-20 games legend, post 20 games dud' rule.

                                How long before Crossy comes under scrutiny?
                                He was awful today and hasn't been in great form all year. Not suggesting he'll get dropped but while Everitt and Harbrow get constantly mentioned for the chop at least they did their jobs today.
