I don't think you like Watts Joeboy. A tough call on Vince too.

[Webber 10,454]

Matt jones 23 disposals. What game did you watch joeboy?

[RalphiusMaximus 6,031]

Watts was one of our best today. You're selling him short.

Bail played a solid defensive game.

McDonald was pretty poor. I think you're being a little soft on him.

[JackVineyForPresident 310]

I agreed with all of them except Watts.

for Watts mine would be

Making steady progress

[dbj1983 138]

Not a very good analysis.

[Ted Lasso 19,414]

Your reports have been pretty average lately joeboy I'm sorry to say

[Demon Forever 219]

Garland - turnover king

[chook fowler 19,447]

Garland - turnover king

Really disappointed in his game today. Very poor from a leader. A throw back to his form a few years a ago.

[george_on_the_outer 7,589]

Spot on assessment of all concerned Joeboy.

It's good to have a reviewer who doesn't care about reputations and last weeks efforts, just the game at hand!

Keep up the realistic and truthful insights that others can't see through their rose coloured glasses.....

now qualify them !! numbers aint everything

[Webber 10,454]

now qualify them !! numbers aint everything

They speak for themselves. He was one of our best today, but lacking a clear way inside 50 as was the case for all of our midfielders.

[Maldonboy38 6,390]

N.Jones - outstanding captain's game

Grimes - steady without turnovers

Salem - given football lesson

Watts - not too bad

Dawes - beaten on day

Viney - unpressured crap kick

Tyson - couldn't break tag

Frawley - stop chest marking!

Dunn - great attacking defence

Cross - wonderful tagging performance

Garland - rare horrible game

Pederson - keeps on working

Vince - too many turnovers

Kennedy - Harris - poor game today

McDonald - our leading stopper

Gawn - learn to mark

Howe - an OK game

Bail - possession without impact

M.Jones - ineffective hard running

Terlich - injured after break?

Jetta - great stopping game

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Joe Boy, you are losing credibility with me.
You are so blinded by whether we win or lose that it completely alters your analysis.
When we win, your 3 words are usually all over the top positive (when realistically you still have your negatives in a win),
when we lose they are ALL over the top negative, when not all players 22 players have bad games.
Analysis should be without emotion, you once did it that way.

[ashdemons22 235]

Are you serious about Vince?

He turned the ball over once in the 1st qtr that was costly and noticeable, he threatened to tear the game apart in the 3rd.

Way to harsh on him.

[Canplay 634]

Watts was good today. Workrate exception and disposal excellent. His pass to pederson on the fast lead was perfection.

[bjDee 1,249]

Jamar - overlooked for analysis??

What was Garland's role today, he was generally playing half back I think but didn't seem to be an integral part of the backline that he should be.

[Dee man 303]

Why are people saying that Gawn needs to learn how to take marks?!? He took 7 today, including 3 contested (most of any player on the ground)!

[Maldonboy38 6,390]

Why are people saying that Gawn needs to learn how to take marks?!? He took 7 today, including 3 contested (most of any player on the ground)!

Because he got clean hands to about 10 others, where he was heaps taller than his opponent and simply spilled the mark, without it being punched away from him. 3 contested marks is a very good effort but he got to a lot of contests and lacked the polish to actually take the mark. Persevere with him though - his marking will get better.

[TGR 1,367]

Cross - Best & Fairest

[beelzebub 23,313]

Cross - Best & Fairest

He's definitely solid. What a pick up

[Earl Hood 6,082]

Persevere with him though - his marking will get better.

And big Max needs to take them because he is a liability at times when the ball hits the ground. Heis not great below his knees and is slow chasing the opposition. To keep his place he will just have to hold the marks he gets first hands to.

Agreed, he has to hold his marks. When the ball hits the ground he's out of the game.

[Sad Dee 12]

Matt Jones - frustrates me that he won't back himself when running into goal.

Collingwood showed the importance of speedy half back flankers who can break the lines. This makes Grimes' current role questionable and opens the door for Blease - if he can show something at Casey.

I'm a Dawes fan but he was very disappointing yesterday. Destroyed by a kid.
