Rising star nomination for Toump?

6 - Toumpas ( still making errors , but giving great cause for optimism )

5 - Garland ( possibly because he seemed to make fewer errors than the other backmen)

4 - Spencer ( probably broke even with an All Australian opponent )

3 - Watts ( excellent first half )

2 - N.Jones ( because he's on the field , regardless )

1 - Dawes ( contested and made an effort , often enough )

6. Dunn

5. Toumpas (I'm now convinced)

4. N. Jones

3. Terlich

2. Sylvia

1. Spencer

6. McKenzie, thought he held Danger pretty well despite him getting 7 free kicks didn't have a big impact.

Honourable mentions to Garland & Toumpas.

3. Terlich

This is where Mr. G Bartlett is correct. We've come to accept mediocrity. Terlich tried hard today and good on him but effort levels are non negotiable.

On numerous occasions today Dean's decision making was shown to have serious flaws. Handballing to a team mate in trouble, failing to take the first option and poor skill execution littered his game today.

Terlich is sh!t poor defensively. We cut him slack because it's his first season, but if he doesn't drastically improve next season, he won't make it.

Terlich is [censored] poor defensively. We cut him slack because it's his first season, but if he doesn't drastically improve next season, he won't make it.

I agree.

This has been a problem for many Melbourne players; as a first year player they look quite good but as their experience increases their form stays the same.

6: toumpas ( makes something happen with every touch )

5:dunn ( played the sweeping role well )

4:sylvia ( looked dangerous in patches )

3: watts ( on the rise )

2: spencer ( love how hard he fights )

1: trengove ( solid again but we need more from.him )

toump's best game for us so far ... but it certainly wasn't anything special. He only had 8 kicks and half of them missed the mark

no votes for me today, Dunn the only one close.. maybe

Garland

McKenzie tried but probably failed

Toumpas points for actually attempting to get out in space at times

Can't think of any other demon who really beat their opponent

Grimes showed me what he could do back at half back with some weights, skill training and a bunch of confidence. Finds the footy and mops up with ease just has no strength to break a tackle or conviction to trust his options.

No huge standouts.

6- N Jones (By no means his best game, but was quite creative and ran hard)

5- McKenzie (Fought hard all game on Dangerfield, who unluckily got a few cheap kicks but his impact was limited)

4- Sylvia (2 goals, seemed to get in and under a bit more than usual)

3- Watts (Attitude was a lot better than last week, looked dangerous at times)

2- Dunn (Was quite an innovator early on, disappointing later on but still a decent game)

1- Toumpas (Best game for the club, promising quick disposal and movement, unfortunately marred by a couple of poor efforts)

With only one round left, the top three places are virtually locked in.
