[joeboy 3,174]

N.Jones - never found rhythm

Kent - probably wasn't playing

Garland - career worst game

Pederson - great first half

Vince - great second half

Nicholson - crap , as expected

Barry - had little impact

Gawn - couldn't assert himself

Howe - most effective defender

Jamar - clearly our best

Bail - couldn't justify selection

M.Jones - was he playing?

Terlich - poor before injury

Jetta - useful both ends

[jacey 333]

Garland is a big issue. I know he is coming back from injury but his fumbling, poor decision making and touch are costing us.

It isn't a case of we are playing one down, he is contributing to the opposition.

He is a much better player but there has to be a time when he needs to back and find touch.

[chook fowler 19,693]

Nicho - Shouldn't have played

Watts frustratingly lazy disposal

Terlich - outlived his usefulness

Kent - poor for 2weeks

Jetta - loved his effort

Barry - deserves next week

Grimes - best game yet

Viney - shut down Libba

Salem - needs Casey time

Bail - doesn't offer enough

M Jones - same as Bail

Umpires - should be ashamed

[Demon Premonition 135]

Think you are being a little tough on a few.

Frawley - Jones, one disposal

M Jones - Played his role

Nicho - Played within limitations

Gawn - Presented when required

Barry - Showed some glimpses

Possessions mean absolutely nothing when you continue to butcher it constantly like Garland and Bail did today.

[Gorgoroth 13,153]

Watts should read: Needs longer stops.

SEN commentators gave Frawley the 3 votes? I didn't see the game and only listened to the last half but all agreed Chip was the most influential player.

That's because so many on here are letting his contractual situation completely colour their views regarding his play. Having said that he did make some mistakes and I didn't think he should have got the 3 votes.

[Jumping Jack Clennett 1,820]

Jamar:

Palmed to Footscray.

Agreed. Although there is no way he was top 3 today in any way shape or form. A few of his clangers were so so costly i'm still sore from them, definitely wasn't the only one who wasn't clean with the footy today though.

[Brayshaw Self 847]

Dawes - Can't take marks

[Go the Biff 3,454]

Jamar:

Palmed to Footscray.

I thought Russian had a pretty handy game but you're right. There were a couple where he beat Minson & then palmed the ball straight to him. Why would you bother ?

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Frawley - Smashed spud Jones

[Demons 32 235]

M.Jones - was he playing? < 16 possessions and played a good game (watch the replay)

Hahaha.

M. Jones played a good game?

M. Jones? Watch the replay?

Your post is great because of you know, obviously terrible today.

I was at the game and I had Frawley clearly BOG. Liam Jones had 1 possession and was subbed off at 3/4 time. He absolutely dominated them in the defensive 50. As good as he's been presenting as a lead-up forward his real position if Full Back and he showed today that he is still AA quality.

[rjay 25,235]

Dawes - Can't take marks

It's a problem

You can't give BOG to a guy who regularly butchers the ball and somehow turns our advantage to a 50/50 with horrible execution.

Liam Jones is cold, cold, cold, hot, cold anyway; so keeping Jones quiet has been simple for most of the year.

For Frawley's sake, I hope he has his suitors conned as well as 70% of us MFC supporters. He is fool's gold.

Thats the same Jones who was the probably the reason the Dogs got over the line against Collingwood 2 weeks ago ?

And as for turning advantage into 50/50's - as opposed to a lot of what I saw yesterday - where we turned advantage into disadvantage.

He wasn't in my opinion BOG but we have a lot more footballers that I am scratching my head over other than Frawley.
