    I'm clearly in a minority but I thought Cameron was okay yesterday without being anywhere near the defender I'd want him to be. The bottom line is that he and Baldwin (with Chicks and Macari) emerged...

    Great result yesterday, but I thought the scoreline flattered us and has perhaps led to some over-inflated assessments of the performances of some players, for example Bostock and Cameron. I thought...

    I find it strange how many football fans seem to assume they have a right to expect every decision a club makes to accord with their own particular opinion at any given time.

    Yeah. Taken on the whole it's certainly worked better so far than the approach of several previous owners/boards!

    I'll renew as soon as they are available, no question.

    Yes, that wasn't Luke's greatest moment. I think that the game where Cedwyn Scott was the one who got injured after all the subs were made, and trying to soldier on arguably made his injury worse,...

    They're entitled to their opinion of course, but it certainly didn't seem to read/reflect the overall mood in the ground, and I say that as someone who in fact agrees (with them) that Maynard is not...

    On the relatively few occasions I've seen Morias play, I quite liked what I saw, especially when he forms a hard-working front two with Macca.

    Chicks is a solid pro who will give you his best whatever position he's asked to play, and he's certainly one of our best defenders. It's unfortunate for him that he rarely gets the chance to play...

    Cedwyn Scott is a really under-appreciated asset in my opinion. Yes he's had an injury, but he's definitely worth keeping.

    Too young to remember that team, but I was growing up in the era of Short and Yates as our centre-halves, and they could defend (and play) too.
