Trengove - some vital touches

Grimes - excellent sweeper's role

Jones - a vital cog

Watts - an intelligent game

Morton - mistakes , but useful

Clark - a minor player

Sylvia - started to impose

McKenzie - excellent tagging performance

Dunn - effective , but limited

Blease - excellent until injured

Green - experience was important

Garland - the x factor

Moloney - enjoyed not tagging

McDonald - mistakes , but important

Rivers - a classy game

Macdonald - tough and clever

Seller - an impressive game

Tapscott - application and toughness

Howe - some cameo involvement

Jamar - more rounded game

Nicholson - confident and exciting

Magner - never shirked issue

Grimes - more midfield please

Grimes was doing a little more than sweeping in the final quarter - He hit every contest at 100 miles per hour.

Overall pretty spot on wrap JoeBoy

Joeboy - excellent return sir!

Grimes - future A grader (More consistant game time and he will be one of the top players in the comp)

Blease - play the percentages (Sam tries to thread the needle too much at times, tries for the impossible, with experience he could become anything)

Watts - he can play (time for the critics to get off his back)

Neeld - resolve under pressure (no honeymoon period for the coach, he has stood up well. Will take us a long way, hopefully to the ultimate prize)

Welcome back JoeBoy. I have missed your excellent input. I don't always agree but most times you are spot on.

Rivers - a classy game

Rivers - a dominant game

Joe boy - pretty good analysis

Excellent analysis 'joeboy' . Hard to argue with any of it . Trengove was much better - his last quarter was terrific . Howe picked up 24 possessions in another solid performance . All our players made contributions .

Yeah. Pretty damn good.

Blease - play the percentages (Sam tries to thread the needle too much at times, tries for the impossible, with experience he could become anything)

Has no doubt been told to take the game on. Doesn't yet have the confidence. He will get better and better. Is only 5 or 6 games into a career.

THE TEAM- hard at it

Blease - play the percentages (Sam tries to thread the needle too much at times, tries for the impossible, with experience he could become anything)

That quote reminds me of Travis Johsntone. Hopefully Blease will turn out to be more consistent than TJ.

Howe - some cameo involvement

I think that undersells Howe's 24 possessions and 6 marks.

grimes kicks better when under pressure in the mid than down back...

That quote reminds me of Travis Johsntone. Hopefully Blease will turn out to be more consistent than TJ.

Trav won many games for our team . If Blease wins half as many games for our team in his career as Johnno we'll have done very well .

Judging a player on his draft number is wrong IMO . Travis didn't ask to be picked no.1 . Same as Watts . These blokes are 18 years old when drafted and totally under-developed .

If you went through every draft since it's inception you would put all the players in a totally different order . Every single time . The draft always turns out to be a guide only - it's miles away from being an exact science .

If you had TJ at pick 15 or 20 we'd all be falling over ourselves at how much of a bargain we got .

Welcome back Joeboy!

Yes Joeboy, we've missed you, welcome back.

Blease effective? 6/12 disposals were clangers

This was his worst game of his career sorry.

Melbourne Football Club - Played finals-like football.

Neeld was spot on when he said contested, hard football wins you finals. We saw a brand of football on Saturday night that will win finals...one day!

Joeboy - Welcome back homie

Blease effective? 6/12 disposals were clangers

This was his worst game of his career sorry.

He won't be writing to his grandparents about it but he was bold and brave for a quarter and racked up the touches until Dustin Flecther remembered how much of a [censored] he likes to be and kneed him while he was on the ground.

And he has been a ghost at times, Sam. It was good to see him be bold and brave - we need that.

Noddy (our nickname, Nephew of (our) Dentist) was so nearly brilliant IF ONLY his kicks had travelled just that little bit further!

Haven't seen the clumsy nasty Fletcher for a while, thought he was playing out his career nicely.
