Very harsh on Frawley, Bate, Martin, Davey and Spencer.

[rusty_corner 0]

Very harsh on Frawley, Bate, Martin, Davey and Spencer.

From what i heard, you can add valenti to that list too.

[Little Lucifer 2]

Was this the game we won??? I think you need another holiday.

[Jaded No More 68,867]

Cheney was very poor IMO. He loses his man on the lead too often and his disposal is ordinary.

Very harsh on Frawley. He was actually struggling with soreness too.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

You're not wrong.

[John Dee 445]

You have blotted your copybook here, Joeboy.

"A lot to learn" is four words!

What game was he watching.

So I cheated !

[Guest Rojik of the Arctic]

Martin - little to enthuse

Showed some real athletic ablitity with spins, turns and dodges. It was enough for me to see that he can only get better.

And that tap to LJ was magnificent!

He is very athletic and quick for someone who is about 200cm tall, and his kicking is really improving.

Just think how little time he has spent learning the 3 positions he has found himself playing this year, and you can see how remarkable he is in his ability to adapt.

rough on davey, picked it up after half time.. such a sweet kick

frawley was good until got shifted off fev, thats when fev turned it on

jordie mckenzie scared me every time he got the ball

bate was ok.. not a game to forget imo... got alot of the ball and most of the time used it pretty well

[RalphiusMaximus 6,019]

You're way too harsh on Frawley. He was great today and had the umpires not been playing for the Blues would have had even better numbers. You need to remember that the three goal burst by Fev was while Frawley was on the bench.

Bate was one of our better players for mine. He wasn't a star, but he was pretty solid all day which is more than most can say.

Martin was great. He took the no. 1 ruck role and did a great job both at bounces and around the ground. His disposal is improving too.

You obviously were at a different game mate. Really hard on Bate and others. Open your eyes.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Bate - game to forget - harsh. Very harsh. Thought he presented well and was busy all day.

Cheney - steady but unobtrusive - don't mean to be mean, but I thought he wasn't as good as he has been.

Davey - couldn't break shackles - Actually, he did didn't he? I think he had something like 20 touches after half time.

Frawley - tried but failed - when he was on him, he did quite well didn't he?

Petterd - insignificant until injured - ??? He was hurt within minutes wasn't he?

Valenti - short , little else - Now now...

Love your work Joeboy. Not your best week though.

On reflection ,the only one I may have been a little harsh on was Frawley , but, in my defence , whilst he did keep Fevola to 2 goals in the first half , I suspect that it was more to do with the poor delivery to the Flues' player rather than Frawley's successful 'stopping' .

Bate - was running in circles most of the time IMO and his disposal was poor .

Davey - broke the shackles in the last quarter when the game was already lost and he was given free reign in the back line without a Joseph tag .

Valenti - had little impact as an on baller , and could make no impact with his kicking or handballs .

Cheney - the comments were for today's game , not previous ones .

Fair enough. I'll reword the Cheney.

Frustrated a little. In other words, I reckon he can and has done better... Though again, on reflection, he was up against it on a hard day for defenders.

[gOLLy 401]

Cheney: to the twos

Rivers : to the twos

[Goodvibes 3,596]

Jetta - excellent first half

Jetta - rising star nomination?

[Guest Rojik of the Arctic]

Jetta - rising star nomination?

Against Garlett? Not a hope. But a bloody good game from the Jet and a good sign of things to come.

[Hyphen 8]

"Morton - beaten by midget"

[sigh]

I take it that means you didn't notice Garlett kicked two of his goals on Sylvia, and another on Rivers? (Yes Rivers - caught in a mismatch on rotation.)

Nice exercise, very very poorly executed. Bate was ok, Cheney poor, Martin encouraging and Davey to be applauded for not throwing the towel in, as he would have once.

Spencer is tall though, I'll grant you that

[Goodvibes 3,596]

Against Garlett? Not a hope. But a bloody good game from the Jet and a good sign of things to come.

Yeah, I figured he has one game left.

He has some obvious weaknesses but he's starting to look very composed in traffic. He's a bonus as far as I'm concerned. He'll be a very intersting one to watch over the next couple of seasons.

Very harsh here. Bate was pretty good. Played midfield more than forward, when he really should be spending more time at HF.

Thought Frawley was very good on Fev. Most of Fev's good stuff came when McNamara was on him.

[45HG 1,539]

Frawley has had a great season IMO, deserves a good finish in our B&F.

[jacey 333]

I suspect that it was more to do with the poor delivery to the Flues' player rather than Frawley's successful 'stopping' .

What absolute crock of [censored].

If the Blues gave great delivery to Fev, not even Glass, Rutten, Silvagni, Jackovich, Scarlett style combined super Full back could've stop Fev.

A good defender wins 50/50 contests. It's impossible to stop quality forwards when they get quality service.

Frawley beat Fevola in the 50/50 contests.
