Which 3 players should be crossing their fingers that they are not dropped after that performance?

Warnock....beat up by Mumford and not for the first time.
Docherty...poor disposals and was tried on several players who kicked goals on him
White.... a non event for most of the game IMO.

Simpson - worst game from him since his 3 donut games to start his career.
Walker - As a backmen he needs to pick up a man, he failed to do this and turned it over
Warnock - Smashed by Mummy.

Unfair to single out three as there were at least 15 who deserve to be mentioned.  I'll go by field groups.

Midfield; is slack, slow, makes poor decisions and can't dispose of the ball properly.  Where is our outside run???  Our biggest problem at the moment - lots of triers, little class.  They simply aren't doing the job.

From this disappointing group I nominate Warnock  for a rocket.  Not giving us first use, non-existent physical pressure and spectates after the ball ups  That is two awful, awful games in a row and Woods needs to be brought in to wake this guy up.  Get serious or GTFO.

Defence.  Our smaller defenders were screwing woeful today and this is killing us as so many attacks come from defence.  Any of Touhy (bad, bad year), Simpson (another game in which he was invisible), Yarran (who?) and Docherty (another mistake riddled game from such a talented player)  could have copped a mention but the crowning glory today was Walker.  Another listless, lacklustre effort in defence marked by woeful field kicking and dreadful positioning.  As a senior player so much more is expected from this bloke who is having the season from hell.  Please Mick, I'm begging you... play him up forward or drop him because we can't cover this blokes continuing errors game after game.

Attack.  Hard to win games when you key forwards aren't taking marks and burn shots on goal.  I'm not sure what Henderson's issue is but he is adding short steps to hard hands and giving us SFA.  Points damn near count as turnovers now in this age of set plays and kick-in strategies.
