[Neita3000 37]

You've actually done alright this week.

[Jaded No More 68,974]

Grimes - calm and confident

Hooray, joeboy has seen the light!

Jamar - an outstanding return

Agreed. Great performance from the big man. Good in the hitouts, great in the contested situations and did some clever things with the handballs.

McLean - many ineffective possessions

Moloney - terrific in close

I actually think McLean is much cleaner both in close and in space. Moloney made a lot of really poor decisions by foot, and handballed to the opposition at least 2-3 times. Not his best game.

McLean was much better tonight, and he had 8 clearances again (the next best was Moloney, with 4).

a bit harsh on Sylvia i think, he was never going to repeat what he did last week, and gathering 20+ possies and a goal is a pass for me, and a big step in the right direction for him

"Another inspiring 1/2 time address from yoda"

Forgive my ignorance, but what are you saying here?

Not happy with DB?

Joeboy, i have never been one to disagree with your opinion vocally, but [censored] mate, that is a bad assessment.

[Sideshow Bob 2,420]

skipper3, i think he's saying we're getting smashed every week in the third quarter. obviously tonight was no different. We go to sleep in the rooms for some reason

Seems like with alot of young sides the starts of the 1st & 2nd halves are an issue. Not that we should be ok with that - have to get rid of it asap.

[Nasher 33,617]

Jamar - an outstanding return

Johnson - not a rover

I agree with this in particular. Jamar has his obvious limitations, but if I had to choose, I'd choose 10 Jamar touches over 20 PJ touches every single time.

I thought Bell did enough to earn another crack next week.

Warnock did a fair job on Riewoldt under the circumstances, but I thought the smaller, faster Frawley did a better job in the last quarter. Our number 8 is seriously a dead set gem. If he doesn't win this year's most improved then the whole thing's rigged as far as I'm concerned.

[Don24 103]

I thought Bell was pretty good tonight, he got rid of the ball quickly and generally made good decisions. Awareness was better as he was never caught. Hopefully a stepping stone.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I thought Bell did enough to earn another crack next week.

I like Bell, but he looked to be lacking confidence to me.

We must have got done by 120 points with that effort from the players

[Doggo 32]

Brad Miller - Can't kick goals...

[Adam The God 30,420]

I'm not totally against Moloney's ball use in close, but was he not playing on Hayes? Furthermore, was he also playing on Lewis last week? Or was it Sewell? Either way, he has to learn a defensive game, as it's killing us going the other way.

[joeboy 3,166]

Joeboy, i have never been one to disagree with your opinion vocally, but [censored] mate, that is a bad assessment.

eg ? - in 3 words please .

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

I agree with this in particular. Jamar has his obvious limitations, but if I had to choose, I'd choose 10 Jamar touches over 20 PJ touches every single time.

Maybe yesterday... but in general? You MUST have your players mixed up.

PJ got twice as much of it, and yes used it much worse, but Jamar isn't even in the same league as PJ for disposal. PJ's pass to Frawley is the kind of thing Jamar dreams about doing.

[FC Melbourne 108]

Grimes: 95 percent efficiency.

[ucanchoose 1,816]

Bate - killed by delivery

Bell -Some good efforts

Bennell - [censored] he's quick

Bruce -Loopy stupid handballs

Davey - Someone up bum

Frawley - What a legend

Green - Solid, no options

Grimes - What a delivery

Jamar - Most Impressive display

Johnson - Needs a position

Jones - Stop the beard

Maric - wow, wow, wow

Martin - Good up forward

McDonald -Needs a rest

McLean - Too bloody slow

Miller - Something is wrong

Moloney - Good but turnovers

Morton - Quietly unseen game

Rivers - Stemmed the flow

Sylvia - Good second effort

Warnock - Solid defensive effort

Whelan - Needs some help (an option to deliver to)

[titan_uranus 25,045]

I didn't have the luxury of being able to see the game, but from 774's radio coverage (which was pretty crap, but I didn't want to risk getting worse coverage from MMM), it seemed as though Johnson, Bennell, Green and McLean played well. Having read the papers, it's obvious that Jamar had a good return as well.

[45HG 1,559]

Miller - was he there?

Grimes - the new General

[Jaded No More 68,974]

Maybe yesterday... but in general? You MUST have your players mixed up.

PJ got twice as much of it, and yes used it much worse, but Jamar isn't even in the same league as PJ for disposal. PJ's pass to Frawley is the kind of thing Jamar dreams about doing.

Jamar's work in close, and his contested marking (not to mention his ability to actually win a ruck contest), makes him 10 times more valuable than PJ.

We have plenty of others capable of winning the ball in the middle and actually hitting targets more than once a game, we don't need another. What we need is contested marking around the ground, and getting first use of the ball through the middle. Jamar gives us both of these.

Neither are good enough though.
