Cos there's no-one else...

:D

Harsh on Petterd. I'd call Jurrah the burst player. Petterd is just growing in confidence week by week.

McDonald - Must play on

Harsh on Petterd. I'd call Jurrah the burst player. Petterd is just growing in confidence week by week.

So would i normally but Jurrah played more of a 4-qtr game today, whereas Petterd seemed to flash in and out of the game quite a bit. Not one of his better performances but not bad by any means.

Scary to think how much better Jurrah can become with a couple of pre-seasons and extra muscle in him. You can just sense he's growing more and more in confidence every week and is trying more things now. Had a couple of little fumbles, but continued to present and be dangerous all day.

Bartram - worked arse off

Bate - Growing in stature

Cheney - coming along nicely

Davey - displaying midfield presence

Dunn - better with experience

Frawley - maturity starting to show

Jetta - just a baby

Johnson - more positive game

Jones - raising his level

Jurrah - showing confidence, composure

Martin - provided tall option

McDonald - great in defence

McLean - had an influence

McNamara - showed attacking flair

Miller - took tarrant away

Moloney - vital at stoppages

Morton - composed and influential

Petterd - attacks contest hard

Rivers - good defensive game

Robertson - all fall down

Sylvia - liked drying conditions

Valenti - thirty hard possessions

Sylvia - underperformed yet again

Yet again? He's been terrific for most of the games he's played this year. He was quite good today without setting the world on fire imo....

He's the 3rd best player at our club after Brad Green and Aaron Davey....

Vaenti - career making game

Yet again? He's been terrific for most of the games he's played this year. He was quite good today without setting the world on fire imo....

Fair enough.

McDonald - Must play on

your kidding.... right? no chance he will play on, the game has passed him by, a fantastic servant of the played, but his time is up

Probably not directly related to 3 word analysis, but :

Umpires Bloody shithouse. Decision against Frawley 90 metre off the ball must rank as the decision of the year. Eddie McDickhead would have taken them to court if it had happened against Collingwood.

Statisticians mean nothing:

Ignores Stef's shepherd of Jurrah's goal.

Ignored Jettas tackle on the man mountain front on ,which lead to a goal

Ignored Jonesy's efforts that set us up with his COMMITTED approach.

Ignored Brad Miller letting Dodd know that is he wants to fight Jurrah he is going to have to get past him. Thats why we need him to look after Jurrah (Doesnt need much looking after'!!) and also to provide the protection from School Footy to big kid footy for that unmentioned new player.

The players all showed their appreciation of these efforts.

Jimmy doesnt need a stat to be effective.

your kidding.... right? no chance he will play on, the game has passed him by, a fantastic servant of the played, but his time is up

The leadership must come from somewhere. It certainly isn't coming from Bruce and Davey isn't quite there yet.

Based on todays performance, I think McDonald has got another year. In fact, I think he's been quite good all year.
