        He's been good in a few games for us. Ballarat boy.

          Kicks it like a pillow. That decision to kick into the middle was really bad after all our players had pushed forward.
          Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

            Good summary, he was prominent in that Frankston game. I like 4 of our Footscray boys as a potential late pick or two in the draft.

                Conditions aren't great for a young tall and he's been burnt a few times but this is no where near good enough or meeting expectations.

                  Maybe need to play him further up the ground and get him intot he game.

                  Agree the delivery to him has been pathetic.

                    They should pout him on a wing for a bit or even back to give him a chance to get into the game. While the conditions clearly don't suit him he does need to lift his work rate. Talent alone won't get you the ball in cold and tricky conditions.

                      Wind has changed - not so strong at the moment
                      There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist.

                        He's a step or two behind at every contest and is misreading the ball completely. He was clearly gassed from chasing tail by the end of the half and spent the last 5 minutes off. He's miles away.

                          Dont shoot me down as I have no idea either way, but at what point do we need to start thinking Marra might have been an overrated 17yo? Could this be the case?

                            This is the worst I've seen Buku play in a long time.
