My 3 word player analysis V The Quaints

I hope the last two years has been a very good development period for him. He is just showing that he could make it as a forward.

That can't kick from 20.

    A couple of comments.

    Jack Watts. His best game for the Dee's (I didn't cringe when he got the ball - and the Saints supporters didn't laugh) and most importantly, his team mates started to kick the ball to him whereas in previous weeks they seemed to bypass him, probably fearing he may "stuff it up" (which he often did)! Jack's gaining confidence in himself as are his team mates in him.

    Jordie McKenzie. This kid's gunna be a real tough nut. One of our best today and was not IMHO "overwhelmed by class".

    I also agree that Lynden Dunn was "Lively and Involved". Before he was drafted I read a report (maybe by Emma Quayle) that he was a bit of a hard nut and quite aggressive in junior football, something I hadn't noticed at senior level. But that aggression/involvement was certainly evident yesterday. And he was certainly better than his fellow 2004 draftee Matthew Bate.

    I didn't think Jake Spencer was too bad! He's a gangling 204cm tall 20 y.o. who showed more than Jamar did at a similar age. (But yep I must agree his co ordination's a bit off).

    Bartram - devoid of class

    Bate - not a KPP

    Bennell - potential is there

    Bruce - a Bruce game

    Cheney - not enough tricks

    Davey - needs support

    Dunn - has a punchable head

    Frawley - versatile

    Garland - looks like a dope fiend

    Green - usual class

    Grimes - errant kicks

    Jamar - battled hard

    Jetta - fringe player

    Jones - a battler

    MacDonald - related to Daniel Bell ?

    McKenzie - had a crack

    Moloney - errant handballs

    Rivers - usual nothing game

    Scully - get used to tags

    Spencer - provides comedy

    Trengove - 9 contested possessions

    Watts - starting to believe

    Nup....Brad Green's against the pies ;) We would've got over the line had that sailed through!

    Not your best work joeboy.

    Watts wasn't our best, McKenzie was very, very good, and Davey while beaten worked hard to get to every contest, and when he had it looked good.

    I thought we held our own in the first half however after that were very ordinary.

    I do not think we have improved on last year.

    We need to beat Essendon next week, if we don't then we have come no were so far this year.

    I am surprised to say it but Watts earned his spot this week there were 5-6 that did not contribute much yesterday.

    Scully should be rested he has been poor since Darwin he has not earned his spot the last three weeks.

    He is a good player but needs a run at Casey to get back his form.

    Cheney produced what I expected ( Very little )1 more week

    Spencer I keep hoping but my confidence is fading. 1 more week

    Bennel Poor back to Casey

    Jones poor back to Casey

    That should leave room for a few promtions

    Garland was very good for mine. He oozes class and is a very smart player. Incredibly happy to have him back on the field!

    And McKenzie was terrific too.

    Garland was pretty good but please can we stop letting him kick in. Never a fast break and always the same option.

    Stopped in on a short break on a busy day and gee, that made me laugh.

    I agree with dee dee on this. I thought it was easily his best game, competed well, seems to be fitter and not so stuffed at end of quarters, still could be more fierce at the contest but still went in and tackled, great hands - that give in the first q for a goal was silky. One thing though i slightly disagree on is his teammates starting to kick to him more. I felt they often ignored him, even when he lead well and made it into space - which in turns means he is sometimes out of position when a teammate kicks it 40 metres away from him. I think they have to be told to start looking for him more often and "honouring" his lead. By the by he can seeem a littel laconic at times but his joy at kicking his goal is a good indication of keen to do well he really is. An injury free preseason, a full season next year, another good preseason and we will have top shelf forward at the start of 2012.

    Dunn - has a punchable head

    I liked his game, so I felt like disagreeing...

    But I can't. If he played for an opposition team, he'd be flying up my "most hated opposition players" list.

    If he ever delivers on his promise at draft day, look out, he'll be in everyone's top 10.

    Cannot understand how Davey can get in the top six players against the Saints.

    I thought he was poor - 14 touches and limited impact with them...for a player of his ability we need much more than that from him.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
