MFC & Casey Inside Football player ratings & comments for Round 6

Melbourne v Sydney, Round 6, MCG

7 - Tom McDonald - Super duel with Franklin. Held him goalless but both players had an impact

7 - Christian Salem - Best game so far running off half back. A few errors but impressive night

6 - Jesse Hogan - Despite poor supply continued to work hard to find the footy

6 - Daniel Cross - Tried hard and gave 100% at the contests but wasnt a big factor

5 - Jeff Garlett - A spectator in first half then came alive after main break

5 - Dom Tyson - Hasnt been able to break free this season and was well held again

5 - Nathan Jones - Wasnt able to generate his normal drive from the middle

5 - Aaron vandenBerg - Tore in and used frame to advantage but couldnt swing momentum

5 - Bernie Vince - Tried to latch onto a few different Swans with moderate success

5 - Heritier Lumumba - Battled on but wasnt able to get his typical running game going

5 - Ben Newton - Kicking was unusually off at times but at least got into the game

5 - Billy Stretch - Goalled with first kick in league footy and didnt look out of place

4 - Angus Brayshaw - Quietest game at senior level so far. Couldnt get into it

4 - Lynden Dunn - Tippett got him early with three goals but continued to fight hard

4 - Colin Garland - Rough night on a few different opponents. Lacked confidence

4 - Jeremy Howe - Just padding at the moment down back. A move forward might re-ignite him

4 - Cameron Pedersen - Backed up Spencer in ruck but wasnt much of a factor in attack

4 - Jimmy Toumpas - Got a bit of the ball but lacked incisiveness. Ability to cover ground a worry

3 - Chris Dawes - Unsighted until final term when he started to get his hands on ball

3 - Jake Spencer - Made Pyke look like Dean Cox at times. This level appears beyond him

2 - Jay Kennedy-Harris - Dropped a sitter in opening minute and didnt recover

2 - Jack Watts - Sub. At least was clean with ball when he came on

What match were they watching?

Howe was forward by early second quarter, and Brayshaw was pretty impressive.

Super harsh on Watts who was good when he came on.

Stretch is higher than he should be.

Tom Mcdonald was a 9 surely. Leader in B&F for sure.

Agree, while Stretch didn't harm his prospects, he did seem overwhelmed.

I think Bail and M.Jones will be right in the mix for selection this week
