Setting a pretty low bar for success if that's the future

I showed previously that Polson is hitting the stat sheet more than Simpson did at the same stage....and Polson is younger.

Take home point....give him time.

...and this is coming from his #1 critic in the off-season.

3 friggen years and no system. This was a game that could well have been one if we had once once of it. There's ability out there,, there's some good forwards there, just no ability to get it to them and set up. Other sides find ways of opening sides up going forward. Not us though.

Loved.the competitiveness and that's made it more frustrating. We.at the point of wanting more than that now.

Said it in other threads.....we have to target midfielders who can kick the ball. Curnow & McKay have got no chance with the delivery they get. On a brighter note, would this be O'Brien's best game?

Why is Polson copping crap for? He has played 10 games and he has a dip.

Murphy has played 200+, is captain of the club, on 700k and is soft as they come.

Why? Because he let his opponent keep them in it all day?

If we're judging players future based on a comparison to Simpsons stats in his  early days Jordan Russell, Kane Lucas and Marcus Davies would be expected to be Brownlow medallists.

I have a really basic gripe.
Many times whoever is on the mark starts to mark that mark by looking at and scratching the ground or they turn away from the kicker to give instructions to team-mates only to have the kicker run around them while they are not looking.  It cost us 2 goals today and at least that every other game.

Even worse is when there's an opposition mark in their 50 which is a tough shot, and we just stand around while they chip it to a team mate in a better spot.
