I don't care how much money we have given him up front, he has to go, he just refuses to get involved. Almost 2 months since he has had 5 kicks in a match.

Hard for him, or any of the forwards for that matter to get involved when the delivery isn't great.

another crap performance by the side changes need to be made so we actually play finals

Ainger needs to go to the reserves so he can get a touch and get some form up bring up dunstan

I don't think Andrew has got over the massive shirtfront he suffered from Centrals in the very first game. Knocked any confidence out of him

i think personally there were more than just Ainger out there Sunday who should be in the seconds !!

yes I agree with that.

I just think he needs to be able to touch the ball a bit to get his confidence back up have a couple in the reserves and hopefully he will be up and flying ready for finals. He's not looking like he will get it back in the league saying that its not always a bad thing to go back to get some form.

He's not the only one, there are a few in the midfield that need to wake up, I would bring in Sinor for one of the underperforming midfielders. I don't think there is much we can do in defence except bring Templeton back in for Killian and maybe Lane for Sumner. as I have no idea what they are doing with Sumner in the forward line.

We need a second ruckman badly it was plain as day that Borholm couldn't ruck a whole year by himself.

I don't like being negative but something has to change before finals as I don't want us to go out straight away again, in the end we need to go back to fast ball movement not standing around and letting the opposition get back.

maybe, but therin lies the issue - do you think Cica or Grokes would come back all tentative and scared and remain so for the rest of the season if they were involved in a similar incident - we knew about his bravery when we falked out the biig transfer and it has come back to bite us.
