Nicholson unlucky but he turned it over a bit too much for my liking.that said. All of my three lower votes turned it over too much also. Jones was a bit quiet today but perhaps my expectation has increased to too high a level.

[Pennant St Dee 13,139]

Jamar going down really affected our forward structure with Martin having to spend the day on the ball. Midfield was good until the last 15 minutes but lack of rotations and we just ran out of legs, first time in a while against a side that is not expansion that it's hard to pick

1: Bail

Couch and Tom Mac unlucky

[Chook 15,012]

6 Martin, just for effort alone. Kicked goals early, then rucked the rest of the game as best he could.

5 McKenzie, who is a tackle machine and actually disposed of the ball relatively well today

4 Sylvia, who looked like he'd absolutely break the game apart early in the first.

3 Green, who provided a real target forward, which is something we've really lacked with all our injuries. It's a shame he's not taller, because he really knows how to play forward.

2 Tom Macdonald, who looks to be a ten-year key backman for us

1 Blease, who looks like fitness is the only thing keeping him from being an absolute four-quarter jet for us.

Honourable mention to Grimes for his toughness. If only he had better foot disposal.

1. McKenzie

Wow. That's generous. Didn't really think Grimes did anything special today and he turned it over far, far too many times.

[Deeoldfart 8,005]

6. Martin - Showed again that he can lift a notch when given the number one ruck responsibilities. Also showed a bit up forward before Jamar went off. A definite 'keeper'

5. McDonald - Carried on from where he left off before his lung injury. If he continues to develop the way he is going, he could be amongst the best CHBs in the competition in a couple of years.

4. Jones - From where I was watching (in my lounge chair 600+ kms away) it looked like he was heavily tagged. Was still a strong performance, and the prospect of him having a bit of mid-field class around him in a couple of years time is mouth watering.

3. Sylvia - Starting to show some of the consistency we've been waiting for. Keep it up Col.

2. Bail - Worked hard as usual, and ball use was generally much better today. Maybe a holiday next week compliments of the MRP?

1. Trengove - His best game for the year

[Nathan Jones's Hairdresser 7]

6 Martin

5 McDonald

4 Sylvia

3 Frawley - beat Pavlich in just about every 50/50; terrible mid-field (again!) and no pressure up the ground left him dreadfully exposed at times.

2 Bail

1 Garland - back where he belongs.

The above for me please (except 2 votes to Tom McDonald)!

Super effort from Martin with no back up available!

5 Jones is becoming elite

4 Tommy Mc hard to believe he has played less than 20 games

Apologies to McKenzie and Nicholson.

Blease needs more than 6 kicks and 2 h/balls to get a gong. Jones disappeared in 2nd half. Howe needs to lift intensity; he's not playing bush footy now.

6- McKenzie- really tough and generally good disposal

5- Martin- kicked a couple early and looked promising then had the burden of all the rucking on him- but did a good job- possibly best game of his career?

4- Rivers- Didn't kick a goal in the forward line, didn't have much of the footy but really contributed well

3- Sylvia- Heaps of clearances and movement but did go missing at times

2- Green- Looked like a dangerous forward target, I think he's still a necessity in our side

1- Blease- Two great goals, especially the second one. Never seems to get much of the ball but he's so dangerous

A host of others also were goodish, pretty even spread among the side

[Demonland 71,653]

The bookmakers are already paying out on Nathan Jones for first place.

Thought about T McDonald, but I thought he turned it over too often.
