I am new to Supercoach / Dreamteam but its quite instructive to compare what the stats say about a players performance with what your gut response is to the game you saw. A lot us thought Jamar had a good game - the stats say he got beat around the game but won the taps. Bennells game was significantly boosted by tackles (5 at 4 points each I think)SC has him as our best player, Scully let himself down with clangers (-8 each) and possible Dunne too. Thats not to say that stats say all what someone does at a crucial stage of a game, or a tackle from a second or third effort versus a first effort - but these things all level out over time.

I am quoting SC below and brace ourselves those (me included) who have argued for Newton. Incidentally 4 tackles helped his meagre posting here.

Melbourne had five players in the hundreds of SuperCoach points; Jamie Bennell (125 points), James McDonald (115 points), Brad Green (114 points), Aaron Davey (105 points) and James Frawley (100 points). Frawley was particularly impressive in the backline; he took the dominant Burton out of the game once he was moved on him.

Davey was as deadly by foot as ever, he does get a lot of cheap touches though ie; handball receives.

Bennell was the surprise packet though scoring the highest he has all year by a long way and probably his highest ever.

Tom Scully (26 points) was a letdown; he wasn’t using it well (typical of a young in and under player) and had two frees against. If you have Michael Newton (35 points), you are an idiot.

An addendum to this what Dees are in your Supercoach / Dreamteam? Mine are Grimes, Trengove and Jordie McKenzie all showing handy asset growth with Grimes mainly a dividend play.
