My 3 word player analysis v Stkilda

[joeboy 3,163]

Jones - inspiring in bursts
Dunn - marshalled defence effectively
Hogan - finally a target
Watts - confident and creative
Toumpas - 3 great quarters
Viney - some crucial turnovers
Lumumba - rarely imbued confidence
Brayshaw - surprisingly poor disposal
Gawn - may have arrived
Tyson - slow decision making
Stretch - far from ready
Cross - inspiring and determined
Pedersen - insignificant before injury
Michie - had no impact
Vince - prolific and creative
McDonald - loose and erratic
Riley - just a game
Neal-Bullen - was totally overawed
Grimes - slow to react
Garlett - probably wasn't playing
Howe - another cameo performance

Love your work mate.

[spirit of norm smith 16,249]

agree with all comments.

Max King in next week.

What the faaaark. Give him a crack !!

[beelzebub 23,313]

We fukked up

[drdrake 3,157]

Flood back all

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Tyson was my worst on ground. For a player of his talent his efforts were terrible.

[Mad_Melbourne 877]

Michie: worse than (insert) bail or m jones

Neal-Bullen: probably wasn't ready

Grimes: genuinely a liability

Toumpas: continues to impress

Roos: flood the backline

[chook fowler 19,444]

Can't understand the Grimes comment - thought he played a very good game

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

Can't understand the Grimes comment - thought he played a very good game

agreed, he didn't do a single thing wrong. Some folks just make their minds up about players and ignore what actually happens on the field

[Canplay 634]

Don't get grimes hate. Thought he was really solid.

You are way off line with Grimes. He showed why he should never been dropped.

In terms of using the ball it was his best game, in terms of one on one contests and keeping his opponent under wraps I think it was pretty poor and usually it's the other way around.

I have been a fan of Grimes for the most part, but today he consistently looked slow against every opponent

You are way off line with Grimes. He showed why he should never been dropped.

I think it proved to me a bit more why Salem has been selected ahead of him.

He is not able to play on the smalls, just seemed to consistently lose his opponent

Can't understand the Grimes comment - thought he played a very good game

agree, beaten early on but fought it out over last 3/4

forgot Jetta who was getting back to his best, give him another week and he will beat any small fwd again. A bit concerned about his head knock when he landed from that mark.

[Little Richard 6,261]

Grimes was very good tonight, Garlett extremely ineffective.

Toumpas' best game for the club and he's on his way to being a good player I believe.

Jones, Vince, Viney and Brayshaw all pretty admirable in the middle at times.

[spirit of norm smith 16,249]

Another heartbraking loss. There is 3 words to sum up the game!! my two boys are gutted.

[spirit of norm smith 16,249]

Mcdonald ... tap to Tyson

Viney ... pick up Montagna.

It was a poor last 40 seconds.

Kill the ball.

[stuie 7,374]

I get it that we love Cross cos he has guts, but seriously...

Cross - Brave turnover merchant

[jimbo1982 94]

Watts - third man up!

Brayshaw - a tackling machine

Toumpas - best game yet

Hogan - enter the Dragon!

The one where he outmarked Gawn? Great effort from Nev, but Max should have swallowed that one whole ...

[Jaded No More 68,855]

Lumumba- panic ball

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,589]

Michie - seems rather depressed

[DemonOX 8,779]

Stupid

Stupid

Stupid

[Johnny Karate 559]

Gawn: take a mark

[Little Richard 6,261]

Gawn: take a mark

Just watched the replay and saw 5 contested marks that he literally had in his hands, but couldn't hold onto. Not good enough for a ruckman - essentially our number one ruckman.

[Nasher 33,607]

Yep, another one here raising an eyebrow at the Grimes criticism. We know he's no star, but it was a solid game with no significant mistakes that I spotted. He is in decent form at the moment, I hope it can continue as I like him.

Thought joeboy was harsh on Viney and Brayshaw too, but I understand that it's hard to capture the essence of a whole game in three words.
