Marngrook Footy Show host Grant Hansen's frustration over the patchy form of Western Bulldogs established stars Robert Murphy, Daniel Giansiracusa and Lindsay Gilbee has boiled over.
Never one to pull his punches, Grant described Murphy as "over-rated, despite flashes of brilliance".
He insists Giansiracusa "should never captain the club".
And he added Gilbee has been "a passenger".
Grant came out swinging when prompted by panellist Alan Thorpe in the wake of the 2010 premiership contender's woeful effort against Brisbane at the Gabba last Saturday night.
The Bulldogs went down by 23 points (the margin probably should've been 60 points).
Incredibly, the Bulldogs led by 30 points late in the second quarter.
Grant pointed the finger at Murphy, Giansiracusa and Gilbee, imploring them to return to their best form with a vengeance.
Meanwhile, Grant is thrilled to see promising ruckman Jordan Roughead selected for his debut for tonight's crucial game against Adelaide at Etihad Stadium.
He liked what he saw from the youngster during the NAB Cup pre-season competition.
Grant was especially impressed with some of Roughead's tap work at the centre bounces.
He also commended coach Rodney Eade for promoting forward Jarrad Grant for his second game after some fine form with VFL allifiate Williamstown.
Captain Brad Johnson and fellow star veteran Jason Akermanis return from injury.
Hard-working midfielder Matthew Boyd misses with a hand injury, while Will Minson, Josh Hill and Brodie Moles have been omitted.
