I would much rather a few of the other guys had the confidence to take the game on like Terlich.

Sylvia? Really? Ran around the outside of packs, 10 direct turnovers, kicking efficiency about 50%. Flashy goal in the last, 3 quarters too late.

Viney, Dawes, Howe, Garland , Gawn and Sellar get pass marks. The rest, not.

MFC - Viney for God

The Herald sun summed it up for me with the following - Jack Viney played his best game for the club, Matt Jones kept trying and Gawn again showed something, but that was about it.

AFL standard
Howe - Our best. If he could kick straight he would bag 5-6.

Gawn - liked his game. Big man. Has the edge.

N.Jones - tagged again. No one cuts out his tagger to help.

Sylvia - showed why he is in our top 5 players. Frustration let him down.
Viney - tried but flawed

M.Jones - classy disposal. Our best rookie this year.
Strauss - showed some run and carry. Nice goal. A keeper.

Terlich - trier

Tapscott - showed some grunt. but also fumbled too much

Frawley - was he playing !!
McKenzie - hmmm - bereft of skills
Dunn – trier.
Garland - holding back a tidal wave. trier.
Sellar - trier
Evans - trier
Kent - overwhelmed. trier. leave in to get some games into.
Dawes - no one at magpieland cried when he left. One effort player.

To be omitted:
Spencer – 2^nd rate. VFL Dev squad.
Bail – ohhh. Back to vfl. Fell over. Missed tackles etc etc
Nicholson - dumb and dumber and dumb and dumber 2
Byrnes - VFL standard (drop)
Davey - limited and flawed. Missed 2 easy goals

Sylvia? Really? Ran around the outside of packs, 10 direct turnovers, kicking efficiency about 50%. Flashy goal in the last, 3 quarters too late.

Dawes ?? pushed off the footy. One effort. Poor elbow swing. Tried to mark on chest not hands. he was poor.

Neeld - needs to resign

Viney - tried but flawed

Oh come on.......... the kid is a gun and thats the best you could do?

Dawes ?? pushed off the footy. One effort. Poor elbow swing. Tried to mark on chest not hands. he was poor.

Thought for limited opportunities Dawes kicked some nice passes that had the forwards leading to the the ball. He took a couple of marks, contested a bit, and fluffed a few. For first game back, I'd give him a 'pass'. Lots of room for him to improve. Nice if players could kick to his advantage.

Call me crazy, but I've found myself agreeing with Bluey on one point tonight.

Howe plays like an absolute millionaire; best player in the U-7's.

If he could bring some variety to his game, it'd be a breath of fresh air.

His one 'screamer' today: made it look harder than it was.
