Nah
You've got a set on him for some reason.  
We've had our differences over the summer.
I mentioned at one stage I thought Lord and Wilson would be players that improved this year.
You seem to have taken an opposite view for both of them..
Have a look at our B& F voting for this game.
Lord features.
You'll give these guys a a serve when they do do something poorly and ignore them when they do something well.
Prove me wrong.

Answer me this. Has he improved in his last 2 seasons?

He's still the tough nut.
He's still going to give you his all.
His minutes has improved due to personnel and circumstances, but has he?

You say i have something against him (and Wilson).
I say you have navy blue glasses on when viewing them.

I had similar conversations about Jaxon Binns last year and was told the same thing.
Remind me how he is going this year? 

Despite the scoreboard, there were names positively mentioned in that summary that we should buoyed by: Boyd, Byrne, Camporeale boys, Carroll, Cowan and Young. Good, also, that Acres got some game time.

I use stats to back my argumwnt, not form my argument.

Get the ball in the hands of both and Jagga and Lord and out your life on the line of them finding a teammate.
99% will pick jagga.
The 1% who pick lord will not know who Jagga is or be related to Lord. 

Im not on a witch hunt. Elijah was by far the worst user of the ball, lord may have been next

I don't get all the hate for boyd.
Clearly not rated by the mc.
Not well liked by our own supporters.

I don't know if it's got to do with him painting his nails or something equally nonsensical, but a his user of the ball who likes getting physical and flying the flag is something we could use at afl level right now.

To me he looks to play better at afl level. Maybe it's the pristine surfaces of afl over vfl that helps his kicking, but given newman, saad, cowan, carroll (williams?) All out and/or struggling....give him a go

I would have been interested in hearing Docherty's thoughts on how this could be remedied.

As an aside, I infer from his later clarification that Gorringe aired the message on his phone without a clearance from Doc. Poor form if I'm right.
