Bartram - excellent holding job

Bate - just occasional cameos

Bennell - clever but limited

Bruce - trojan and workhorse

Davey - angry but effective

Garland - did his job

Green - classy as usual

Grimes - confident and effective

Gysberts - a revelation again

Jamar - sublime palming again

Jetta - creative second half

Jones - one wonderful goal

McDonald - 3 disciplined quarters

Miller - provided a contest

Moloney - regularly broke lines

Morton - almost best form

Rivers - continues to concern

Scully - was well held

Sylvia - enjoyed midfield freedom

Trengove - was relatively quiet

Warnock - took his chances

Watts - must be dropped

Bate - weak,weak,weak

Didn't win a single one on one competition.

Only goal was a gimme which Jetta should of kicked.

He had a bad day like most of his team mates. He also did the most courageous act of the day backing into Waite and getting poleaxed, marked the ball and won the contest. Did you miss that, or was it a weak effort??

Bate didn't back into it just went for the ball but it was a good effort. he is more weak in a contest. Dropped a easy chest mark that cost us a goal early. Is very slow and not a clever player. Should have gone for a mark but he just left it trying to run on it but is to slow. Is unbelievably over rated. He is just a plodder.

Not sure what contest Miller provided with his one kick? He will be replaced by Dunn or Hughes

If that's the same incident I think it is he took quite a few short steps, he would have taken that easily if he kept going.

I have supported Bruce for most of the time he has been with the club but today he showed that he is slowing up and quite quickly. He seems to take an eternity to pick up the ball and then just as long deciding what to do with it, it's like watching the game in slow motion at times.

Is it just me or has anyone else noted his habit of trailing behind the ball as it goes over the line?

Do you think holding them back last week was a hindrance (maybe their confidence was growing each week they played, and not playing has set them back in that regard)?

In which case, they should be up for blinders next week!

how much do we miss anybody not named Rivers?

Can't keep up with his man, can't catch or punch the ball

The guy next to me was convinced they play him as trade bait for the Gold Coast so Petterd doesn't leave

Btw, you might want to take off your rose coloured glasses and put on your dose of reality set.

Bartram - didn't see much

Bate - pretty damn crap

Bennell - rarely got it

Bruce - great rebounding work

Davey - maybe the worst

Garland - very solid game

Green - great marking

Grimes - fairly good game

Gysberts - rising star nomination

Jamar - yet another ripper

Jetta - pretty quiet game

Jones - 1 great quarter

McDonald - tagged Judd brilliantly

Miller - out for Dunn/Hughes

Moloney - great contested play

Morton - more like it

Rivers - possibly trade bait?

Scully - first quiet game

Sylvia - possibly regaining form

Trengove - see Scully

Warnock - check O'hAiLpin's stats

Watts - one's not enough

Peter James was actually talking about Bate not Bruce!!!!

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
