Kirke was our weakest forward tonight IMO

As for Bailey another good performance from TMFMISL

I thought Kirke had his best game by far of the season, and i think that your being very harsh on him

Kirke is a similar player to Bailey in the fact that some speccies dont often realise what certain players qualities bring to the team, they are not game breakers admittedly, but they certainly compliment the flair players in our side with the un noticed stuff they do

Kirke has played in the last 3 GF's, so both Tony Smith and Bluey's opinions appear to agree that he brings much needed attributes to the side would you not agree?

This is a decent assessment. The only thing I'd add is to steal the words of another. He probably gets more game time at a club like ours than he should. My main frustration is that with his size and physical presence he should be a much more dominant player. He frustrates me, which I will conceded, might, just might, colour, but not cloud, my impeccable judgment

Weaker than Eastwood???

Hardly a decent yardstick though

I agree with G on this. I closely kept an eye on Kirke on his drives during the first half. I dont think he won many collision, if any at all. Very easy for the Wire defence.

Eastwood IMO isn't 100% and looks a bit rusty, know what you mean but I think its a bit unfair to judge

No, don't get me wrong. I'm not judging Eastwood at all, he's clearly not match fit.

Was just surprised you had him in front of Kirke tonight

Good question and a tough question. Burgess has more upside but Kirke has less downside if you know what I mean? Burgess could have great forward and superb offloads but could spill some ball and be leaden footed defensively whereas Kirke will remain hum drum with few errors but little of note.

I'd select.....................................Ambler.

Thing is with Kirke his drive strength isn't there and you look at say young Ambler who legs keep pumping and breaks tackles yet is smaller than Kirke (may not be the best example)
