[joeboy 3,166]

N.Jones - captain great captain

Dunn - stood up brilliantly

Watts - continued important role

Toumpas - quiet before subbing

Dawes - provided great contests

Viney - superb all game

Lumumba - fine rebounding game

Brayshaw - dynamic and exciting

Gawn - career best game

Tyson - looked more comfortable

Stretch - played his role

Cross - important in contests

Vince - prolific all day

McDonald - was rarely sighted

Riley - some useful touches

Neal-Bullen - can find ball

Garlett - perfect scouting game

Howe - 2 brief cameos

Jetta - didn't imbue confidence

Spencer - perfect Gawn foil

Bail - was rarely sighted

M. Jones - improved with confidence

[Mazer Rackham 14,971]

So we can win against decent oppo at a challenging venue without every player needing to have a "personal best" game.

Great sign.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Begs one question....Whats with McDonald?

[Bleeds_Red_&_Blue 172]

Vince - Thank you Adelaide

Cross - Thank you Doggies

Garlett - Thank you Carlton

Dawes - Not convinced yet

[hardtack 10,555]

Begs one question....Whats with McDonald?

Perhaps the pressure of being touted an All Australian full back?

You can't go from promising youngster to best full back in the game in 6 months, basically. Or at least, it's highly unlikely. He's showed what his absolute best output can be when all the stars align, but it's unreasonable to expect to see it like that every single week, especially while so young.

There's nothing wrong with him, and he's going to make Frawley look average in comparison over the journey, but he's just not ready to be the best defender in the comp just yet.

[CityDee 738]

Howe- was good , did what he had too - compete and not be beaten . tmac quiet ? what about his man ? Go you Demons!!!!!!

[Bates Mate 4,500]

Agree on howe crap stats but crashed many important packs and kicked well under pressure when needed

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Totally agree, what i find strange is that he was so good, daylight in front of everyone else in many games, then when we are playing well, he is just not there....doesnt make sense......seemingly during/after the Collingwood game? Sure he will come good tho.
