R7 - WORST on ground vs Pies

Difficult game to judge, do your worst.

Almost unfair to single out three as there were too many culpable players tonight.  Our midfield and half backs didn't do their jobs, made it impossible for our defence or forwards.

1.  Lucas. Can't understand why he gets a game.
2.  Walker.  His turnovers and looseness absolutely killed us.
3. Gibbs.  Refused to put his body in or take contact, resulting is horrid rushed kicks to nobody, inconsistent work rate, refusal to chase...  terrible example for a "Senior player" to be setting.

Dishonourable mentions.... really could be 10 blokes here; 

Thomas... on one leg ain't an excuse...too slow to execute by hand and foot, woeful kicking and needs to attack contest much harder.
Touhy....  headless chook, has lost any idea how to defend a man or space but at least appears to give a carp.
MacLean... a dirty night, his lack of leg sped and movement was badly shown up, disposal awful and cost goals.
Scotland.. cares but finding pace of the game too hot.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Smorgasbord here, ended up with Lucas, Brock and Gibbs but plenty of others very close.
All three should go at years end plus another 6 or 7!

Hard for Garlett to get involved with one forward entry every 15 minutes and nothing to rove to.

Lucas's reactions are very slow and I can't see how he can be a success at AFL level.  Another stinker tonight.

Henderson's last quarter goals couldn't save him.  Yes, the delivery inside 50 wasn't the best but that's when your key forward has to make a statement.

Garlett didn't get into the game at all; no forward pressure, no impact on the scoreboard and no run through the midfield.

Fair point Prof but I thought he was more desperate last week and pro active, this week he seemed to think last weeks efforts
were enough for him to get by on  for another few weeks.
Elliott and Blair make things happen...the better half forwards like Steve Johnson from Geelong get up the ground and
impose themselves on the game supply or no supply

Lucas was bloody terrible but i've come to expect it from him.
Daisy.....that was abysmal. >:(
Too little and Way too late. Pull your fingers out boys!!

Lucas: Not up to AFL standard
Thomas: Worst game of his career.
Henderson: Half way down the monash freeway and halfway into the last quarter triple M said he had 2 disposals.

Lucas, Garlett and Daisy. Needed to get more of the ball or at least get more involved.

The list is longer for those that butchered the ball, but 1st things 1st, you have to be able to get it.

Daisy's performance must be a real kick to the guts for Mick. It was the time for him to shine and it was an epic fail.

That's me 100%. No effort from the first two and Daisy well fork me who knows what that was.

Re Hendo he was raped up forward a few times but his performance was no better than that of Waite's vs the Scum. Of course Hendo isn't a whipping boy so he will keep his spot in the side.
