3 handballs to half time. It hurts me to say but he's gotta go back and get some form. He had one of the best pre-seasons last year I've seen, but can't get anywhere near the ball this year.

I would love to see your Gehrig back down forward. Fletcher would need to be accountable at least.

what number is he ???

SainterK · Post: # 1058800Post **SainterK** » Sun 10 Apr 2011 7:15pm

Number 4

3 Disposals

Think will sub him off for Peake soon

This is a huge concern. His form has been down since mid way through last year. His footy smarts just don't seem to be intact. Very down on confidence.

So many key players out of sorts.

The team is in a terrible rut right now.

hes gone. no attack. no defence. no impact. just a spectator. has been awful for 12 months if we want to face facts.

serious existential crisis on his afl career IMHO. Needs to go back to vfl. Hes just treading water at AFL now. been like that for a while.

was great in 09. but hes dining out on 09 meals and the food has gone off and hes off his tucker.

We've gotten as much out of him as we could I think.

Yeah, I mean it'd be nice for him to do his number proud, particularly since February

So you're virtually saying "stick a fork in him"?

Sad but I think may be the case.

It just boggles the mind how quickly he went into a tailspin.

Add insult to injury, we have a bunch of other guys who look like they want to hang up their boots pretty soon.

He hasnt changed the way he plays he cant kick to slow thinking and the game in general has passed him by....taggers are gone ..a player needs to do it all not just run around.

savatage · Post: # 1058882Post **savatage** » Sun 10 Apr 2011 7:52pm

For a bloke that never learnt how to kick an actual drop punt, he's done well to get as far as he has but I think he'll be dropped next week & will struggle to get back in.

The game has passed a player like Jones by sadly. If you lack the basic skills as he does, you are a liability now.
Gilbert is another one whose kicking skills have not improved at all.
we have to have a long hard look at these type of players and make some hard decisions at the end of the year.
Right now, I am tempted to offer Gilbert as trade bait for either a good swap or early draft picks.
That is right now, what I'd like Gilbert to do is show how good he can be so that we don't trade him.
