My 3 word player analysis V Collingwood

[whoszachunt 29]

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.

I would not play McDonald.Too slow both mentally and physically..Not part of the future (my opinion) Frawley to go back when Hogan finally recovers.. Garland needs to lift also..

[jazza 1,323]

Pedders=still eating garlic

M.Jones=defensive running terrific.

Jamar=always makes sur its a contest.

Backline=developing nicely.

Cross=whatever he cost,it was cheap,inanunder machine.

[whoszachunt 29]

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

McDonald ...Our leading

Coach Killer" more like it...Have a look at the replay..I just did..!!

Hey Joeboy, we're half way through the season. How about a "year to date" three word analysis?

You gotta be kidding me "..chunt". Tmac is an elite runner - both pace and endurance. Add the fact the he is a fair size at 94kg and you would want to keep him as a key defender surely!! No doubt he makes mistakes but he's only played 40 or so games and is still learning.

Actually thought his kicking was better on Mon... Some decisions ....ummmm

[baysidedave 246]

you continually give players you don't like crap raps........Watts was good yesterday, so was Bail and M.Jones!!!!!!!!!

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.

Yes Max can be frustrating. He is a young , huge guy who you feel is just about to play an absolute blinder (as I have seen him do at Casey on several occasions). When he hits his straps, I have not doubt he will be unstoppable. Let's hope it is soon. He will be one of the MFC's most important players as we move towards our next premiership I have no doubt. The transition though is frustrating to watch.

Stating the obvious ?

Yes but if we had kicked 10.3 instead of 3.10 then we would have beaten Collingwood by two points which is nearly as sweet as beating them by a solitary point.

Once again Matt Jones gets a whipping from some on here.....yawn......I just read Roos comment on the best teams having players who can and will run hard both ways all game. The two Jones' and Dan Cross immediately was who I thought he was talking about. Next tier Vince, Tyson, Viney (last 2 still getting the tank).

I would put my house on Matt Jones being in the first handful of players Paul Roos selects every week.

I would also put my house on those on here continuing NOT to get it.

I consider that I am balanced in my views and can see both sides of the equation. I don't go in for player bashing but can understand the critics and defenders of players past and present such as Watts, Dunn and Terlich to name but three who polarise supporters. I scratch my head at criticism of Matt Jones who in my opinion works ultra hard, presents, chases, leads, has pace and decent enough disposal. He has played 33 games and averages 20 disposals per game. Not much not to like IMO.
