    Yep. His body must get used to the horror of being a big professional footballer. I don't remember a young kid getting as many surgeries so early on.

      This is terrible to watch. Rugby scrum.

        They didn't turn up to play, and didn't get smashed. Best do the same shit next game.

          What's the free kick count? Felt like we got reamed.

            87-99. If we had have kept our heads in red time at the end of Q3 and weren't soft as butter in the second defencively we'd have won.

            Really concerned about the form of Cordy and Libba today. Thought Honey was the best senior listed player and deserves a chance.

            Happy Roughead got through, I'd play him next week.

              The trouble with Honeychurch is he works his backside off but it doesn't impact the game that much. He seems to be everywhere but not that damaging.

                Honey never stopped, but honestly thought English was our best. Didn't get a heap of it but used it beautifully when he did, in stark comparison to his mates.

                  What ever happened to the rule if you are tackled you have to thrash around like a fish out of water to advoid giving away a free kick. Players now just lay there with the ball while players jump on top. Bring back that previous rule and the play will be so easier to watch and there hopefully be some frees.

                      I thought he opened beautifully and finished well, but was a touch quiet throughout the middle. I noted that I think he should play seniors really soon.

                        Interesting, I thought there was an improvement in this area from him today.
