My 3 word player analysis v Stkilda

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.

If he can start hanging on to those he'll make a huge leap forward in terms of ruckman quality. Thought his tapping has been excellent since coming in to the side and he gets involved around the ground. Clunk those marks and his value increases drastically.

    Definitely. Gawn always looks creative with his taps, where as Jamar looks as though he's still trying to hit it to Moloney and Spencer doesn't seem to think about it much at all.

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

    Yes chook,hes a gravedigger at best and i think so far this year he has earnt a quid and started to look like the player we expected.

    One of the problems with Grimes is the fact that, being a small back, he is meant to be the one getting us out of sticky situations in the backline.

    Instead, he and a couple of others start playing hot potato and we lose the drive and either take it over the boundary or rely on TMac or Dunn to rebound the ball. Not good enough. We missed Salem yesterday.

    He is not clunking his marks but he is doing something that Jamar has not done in quite a few seasons - that's is get near the ball.

    Gawn has involved himself the last two weeks and yes, he has dropped too many marks he should be taking. My problem with Jamar since his AA year is if he hasn't been contesting ruck situations he has spent the entire game being no where near where the ball is.

    If ( and yes it is a big if ) Gawn can start holding marks he will be more than useful.

    Really surprised / disappointed that Gawn hasn't marked well in the last 2 games. He has shown he can take the odd decent mark previously at AFL level in games gone by. But be has really stood out as a strong mark at times when playing forward at Casey.

    He CAN mark and mark well. Just needs to bring that form to the big time games.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
