OK we have forced them wide but why not put pressure on them right from the start. A long kick out (not to the opposing ruckman) if not marked force...

Makes no sense having great penetrating kicks of the footy such as NWM Bonner and Sinclair take kick outs and kick it 15 meters.

I think many are scared to dare question or doubt him, as he is one of our best players. But his hacking it out of the ruck doesn't help the team, more often than not it just comes straight back over his head. Marshall is superb around the ground, but ordinary in the ruck.

I think it says a lot when a player who was delisted from one team is now undroppable in yours…

Our standards are rock bottom, no selection integrity, players can run around knowing they’re undroppable. You keep banging on about selection integrity but you offer up no solutions. We’ve...

Yeah of course he’s going full tilt

Are you suggesting we're tanking? Certainly may as well now.

Not saying he’s tanking I’m saying he’s developing the list.

Wood ran off his line. The umpire called play-on. I could hear the call in Perth. Wood had no peripheral vision.
