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

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)

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

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

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 .

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.

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 .

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.

    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

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    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
