geez, that makes my week. I was literally dancing around the house when i got the scores in a text last night. amazing. These descriptions, if correct, make it even better.

[PeterJames 46]

perfect summary!

[Daz's Dee's 113]

Yeah pretty well summed up. Really hard too fault them tonight and I am wrapped for bartram his career was looking shakey at best but on that effort again last night he prooved his tackling and costant pressure we have been missing

Bennel I would have had "Excellent body work"

The amount of times he used his body to hold out an opponent when in a worse position or to help a team mate was immense, and if that cheat of an umpire paid him that mark for using superior body work he would have scored a goal.

Bennel: Mr zi-zag!

Jeez he can move. I thought he was terrific.

thought Trengoves 3 words should probably have been - 'Best On Ground'?

Don't agree with your assessment of Martin. He was very good tonight and more than earned his spot. Did all that was asked of him. Contested the rucks well when Jamar rested and brought the ball to ground in the forward line for the smalls. A couple of times he was outnumbered up forward but refused to be beaten and locked the ball in.My brothers and I commented on how well he played more than once during the game. Solid performance I thought.

Could attack the ball that is there to be won a little harder. Only critisism of him- needs to attack the loose ball with more gusto. I could see at least one goal oppurtunity missed based upon these observations.

Still young and ambitious, he will pick it up- then we may see a force.

agreed, he used his body really really well last nigt, i was very impressed. and that free kick was a joke, he only barely touched him and it was his hip on his opponents, hands no where in sight and it was called a push in the back. i was furious.

agreed for a man with great pace he seemed to lope along a bit a couple of times when i thought a 10 meter burst could have either won us the ball or caused a turn over. overall ok game, but could work harder.

Love it when he gets the ball, exiting and his so evasive.

Agree. Not a star game by Stef but one chock full of 1 per centers. He did the hard team work all night.

[titan_uranus 22,387]

Bennell - only minimal involvement

Dunn - an important player

Martin - didn't take chance

Can't agree with any of these.

Bennell was good. Has been for the last couple of weeks. Pressures, runs, creates opportunities. He could have kicked 2 or 3 yesterday if things had gone his way (players getting a handball out the back, not being told he pushed a player in the back when he didn't etc.)

Dunn is not an important player. Far from it. He's a fringe player. Isn't playing horribly, but isn't doing enough to tell me he'll keep his spot when Morton, Jurrah and others start pushing for selection.

Martin played well. Did what was asked. Best ruckwork I've seen from him ever, and he looked passable when he went forward. Definitely took his chance, and must be retained next week, as we come up against another team with mobile ruckmen (McIntosh and Goldstein).

Absolutely.

For a guy his size he is terrific below his knees and really creates good contests, even in 2-on-1 situations. How many times was he beaten outright last night? He rarely gets outmarked, and that is obviously the positive transition he is making from the backline.

This guy has played footy for about 3 years, and is very big (has put on a lot of muscle over the summer). It took Jamar 8 years to start playing well, and Martin is already miles ahead of him at the same stage of their careers.

Good first game!

[armstrong35 262]

i agree with martin

i dont think he played very well

but he didnt play bad. i think he was abit slow, he has lost his pace abit.

i disagree with bennell. he may only get a few touches or so but when he gets the ball he knows how to get around players and just gets away from them, he has great pace this kid.

Agree re Bennell.. he is starting to show why West Coast was so interested in him.

agree with martin/dunn amendments. bennell looked exciting, but he didn't actually do anything imo.

You have missed one:

Travis Johnstone - Melbourne Owns Him

Edited April 25, 2010 by kryton

[classy dees 42]

martin was extremely important last night. he gave us flexibility, he gave us a contest, he gave us a different route to our forward line i.e. a longer ball to one on one contest in the 50 rather than the continued hit up of smaller targets and most importantly he allowed jamar to rest and ensured that we weren't blized out of the ruck when he was doing so. playing dunn against clark etc would have been murderous.

dunn's game tagging brennan was pretty good too.

too many supporters want 22 rock star footballers in the team. it doesnt work like that.
