Underperforming Prems & Rooks.

[TMurphBROWNLOW]

well I could probably add teams to that as well... what the hell is happening in the football world?

Carlton, West Coast and Essendon all suffering defeats to Port, Melbourne and Brisbane  :-\ Geelong, Collingwood and Hawthorn aren't the sides that they use to be, and teams like Richmond and Adelaide are bound to start surging up the ladder!

anway... PLAYERS-WISE. why are these players not playing good footy?

Rockliff, S Thompson, Hargrave, Selwood, ROK, Gibbs, Giansiracusa, Harvey, Horsely, McDonald, Dal Santo, Hayes, Judd, A Swallow and Lake.

anyone have any explanations for ANY?  :o

[2 large cokes]

Rockliffe - not in form
S Thompson - tagged by one of the best taggers atm
Hargrave - team got pumped by 100 odd
Selwood - Was playing sore
Rok - Didn't play that bad
Gibbs - Whole Carlton team is underperforming because of injuuries
Gia and Harvery - Teams both got smashed = no ball
Horse - First year in the afl - cant expect miracles
Jmac - I suggest age is catching up
Dal and Hayes - Not sure but Lenny has had a pretty good year?
Judd - Will start to struggle more without Murph
Swallow and Lake - teams got pumped

Fair reasons for most of these players. Rocky and Dal are just struggling this year

^What he said

[KoopKicka]

Add JPK to that list, slowly being a never again trade, so wish I took Watson instead. :(

don't talk to me about DT this week ...  :'( 

didn't even crack 2kpts ...  :(

not Pendles' fault he's a champion but when added to A Swallow and J Selwood (also no blame on those 2 players) just made for a depressing DT w/end personally ...

usually if you ask me, "DT better than SC??" i would say I love both and in particular DT but prefer SC ... today ... i don't wanna talk about DT ...  :'(    ;)

[its me lads]

Rockliff: Playing out of position. (same with martin)
Thompson: bad premo week last week, crowley elite tagger, will bounce back after byes
Hargrave: dunnoi really
Selwood: played with groin niggle
ROK: dont expect 110 every week
Gibbs: playing down back
Gianciracusa: spud
Harvey: old sud, gets smashed by taggers
Horsley: 1st year, gold coast got wiped
Mcdonald: old,
Dal Santo: not having his 7 powerades?
Hayes: not doin too  bad, did comeback from knee reco remember
Judd: ovverated now and he is the only one with half a spastics clue in the midfield for carlton
Swallow: not super premium, only NM mid
Lake: different role. cant run off when getting belted

I know adelaide is a great side and all but can i just point out its going to be a bit hard for us to start surging up the ladder WHERE ALREADY THERE ;D ;D ;D :P

[its me lads]

 GO THE CROWIES yeah noob we are already near the top.  :) ;) :D ;D ::) :P carn you crows

[Dave085]

You guys are spuds,

Isnt it pretty obvious that these forums are monitered by the AFL teams. I mean, Sam Shaw was selected and is going to be perfect timing for a downgrade, and all the mid premiums want to be selected in our sides, so theyre just managing their price so its prime for the bye upgrades...

Perfect timing for some of them.

[TMurphBROWNLOW]

anyone reckon sheeds is holding back miles and Clifton for the bye rounds for us to downgrade to? :P he was a supercoacher last year!

[Colliwobblers]

miles has an injury due back next week at the earliest clifton is fine i think he is playing in the NEAFL could be ready too but not sure on him

Pretty sure Clifton was injured round 2/3 or something. Injured his wrist.. out for 6. It's been 6-7 weeks, hes probably playing NEAFL, should get a call up soon(after byes anyone?).

[JBs-Hawks]

Injured his knee on the comeback trail.
