Posted May 17, 201411 yr N.Jones - what an inspiration Grimes - composed and focused Salem - a smooth mover Watts - opportunistic and effective Toumpas - worked into game Dawes - provided presence again Viney - courageous and bullocking Tyson - indefatigable and vital Dunn - the backline general Cross - great tagging game Garland - composed and calm Pederson - eye opening performance Vince- great second half Kennedy - Harris - had an impact McDonald - reliable and steady Riley - likes the ruggedness Gawn - played his part Howe - skilled and creative Jamar - commanding in centre Bail - provided forward pressure M.Jones - great first half Terlich - tough and brave
May 17, 201411 yr Disagree on Grimes, always gives his all but he was a liability at times today. Otherwise, pretty much spot on. You can bet your bottom dollar that every game we win under Roos will have everyone playing their part. A gun coach.

May 17, 201411 yr I thought Salem struggled a bit in his first full game today. Eight possessions, He got caught twice in tackles when I thought he would sense the player coming behind him. Got pinged on the second one which was appalling umpiring but I expected him to slip that tackle. Anyway early days, probably struggling for fitness levels at this stage.
May 17, 201411 yr Grimes should not be taking kickouts, nor should he be used as a short target when someone else takes one. His kicking just isn't suited to that situation. He seems to be better in general play than he is with those spot kicks.

Got pinged twice, incorrect call on both occasions. I think he may have run over that Umpire's cat.
May 17, 201411 yr Got pinged twice, incorrect call on both occasions. I think he may have run over that Umpire's cat. My main point was I thought he would be able to slip both tackles but he kept running in a straight line and got caught.
May 17, 201411 yr Tyson- three brownlow votes N jones- two brownlow votes Pederson- one brownlow vote
May 17, 201411 yr N.Jones - inspirational and tough Grimes - interceptions and turnovers Salem -just a game Watts - reward from running Toumpas - steady not brilliant Dawes - intimidating physical focus Viney - tough natural footballer Tyson - poised midfield machine Dunn - clam, reliable, effective Cross - great tagging game Garland - composed and influential Pederson - amazing work rate Vince- great second half Kennedy - Harris - keeps on impressing McDonald - effective but scary Riley -not too bad Gawn - very important role Howe - skilled and creative Jamar - strong feeds midfield Bail - just a game M.Jones - best forward spreader Terlich - good and bad
May 17, 201411 yr No duds today! Bitter, this is the difference. We have had some players this year to have shockers, but in the main we are producing an even spread of team football across the 22.
May 17, 201411 yr TERLICH. Still not sure M JONES. Hit and miss Mc DONALD. disposal a worry TOUMPAS. Wasted draft pick
May 17, 201411 yr TERLICH. Still not sure M JONES. Hit and miss Mc DONALD. disposal a worry TOUMPAS. Wasted draft pick you don't give roos much credit do you look at the 'duds' he's already turned around come back in another 10 rounds and then make your big prognostications champ
May 17, 201411 yr you don't give roos much credit do you look at the 'duds' he's already turned around come back in another 10 rounds and then make your big prognostications champ Not sure why you bother. Writing toumpas off after a bit over season, McDonald just 21, jones in his second season, Terlich in his second full season. Amazing.....
May 17, 201411 yr you don't give roos much credit do you look at the 'duds' he's already turned around come back in another 10 rounds and then make your big prognostications champ ROOS, BLOODY SENSATIONAL!

May 17, 201411 yr some peeps are getting a bit carried away we were very, very lucky to win today and our opponent wasn't much chop at all a lot of our blokes did not have a great day obviously I'm rapt we still got up and it's another 4 points but sheesh we didn't climb everest today, let's keep it in our pants shall we and never forget the false dawn of 2010/11 ok had to say it.. as you were
May 17, 201411 yr you don't give roos much credit do you look at the 'duds' he's already turned around come back in another 10 rounds and then make your big prognostications champ 10 Rounds, what about the last 50 years ?? I'll give you the fact that yes, some duds have been very very good .. But after 50 years how's your patience,??
May 17, 201411 yr some peeps are getting a bit carried away we were very, very lucky to win today and our opponent wasn't much chop at all a lot of our blokes did not have a great day obviously I'm rapt we still got up and it's another 4 points but sheesh we didn't climb everest today, let's keep it in our pants shall we and never forget the false dawn of 2010/11 ok had to say it.. as you were I don't think we were lucky today. We deserved to win. I would suggest some of our players didn't have a great day but here's the thing.... In the past we had a whole lot of players who were poor...actually liabilities. Today Salem was quiet as was bail but neither were poor or a negative to the team just little impact. I don't think anyone here is saying finals ... Just enjoying the win.. That's my say.
