My 3 word player analysis v North Melbourne

[joeboy 3,162]

N.Jones - not as dynamic

Vince - played with desire

Hogan - excelled under pressure

Salem - played with purpose

Watts - most frustrating footballer

Viney - ferocious and dynamic

Lumumba - impressive and reliable

Gawn - made a statement 

Tyson - continues to underperform

Oliver - impressive despite inexperience

Dunn - held his own

Stretch - some important touches

Kent - great opportunist's game

Frost - regularly appeared lost

McDonald - reliable and steady

Bugg - unsure of role

Kennedy - had little impact

vandenBerg - some random performances

Jetta - wonderful attacking defender

Wagner - out of depth

Harmes - still learning role

M.Jones - the better Jones 

 

[leave it to deever 17,501]

Yep Wagner may be dropped.

Kennedy interesting compared to last weeks effort.

Frost was definately lost.

Bugg...hard to say as stat wise he performed but I didnt seem to notice him

M Jones...sometimes better but still the occasional horror kicks

 

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Pretty good joeboy - the only two I disagree with are Tyson and Harmes.  I thought they were a little better than you gave them credit for, particularly Tyson.  Had it 20 times, 11 contested, 5 clearances and a great goal.

 And Harmes tackled like his life depended on it

[Maldonboy38 6,387]

Watts - learn to mark

Dunn - makes defence better

Vince - stop polishing elbows

M Jones / N Jones - look before kicking

Anyone - stand near Harvey

[leucopogon 1,518]

Stretch was a butcher today, Frost a spud, Hogan a tease. Hopefully the team is as livid as I am with that result.

[CBDees 3,165]

Watts payed well in my view. Three good goals and at least two effective goal assists. Only downside was attempting to pass to Hogan at a critical time.

I hate honourable losses, but after last week's effort, I was expecting a 10 goal drubbing. After being 7 goals to nil down in the 1st, the players showed some fortitude, and didn't drop their bundle. Even at half time, I thought that North would kick away again. 

We didn't win, but our contested possession against a hard nosed team was a huge plus. I'm not even close to being livid compared to last week. 

[jumbo returns 6,715]

Watts - led comeback

Wagner - never shirked a contest

Frost - backline please

Harmes - my boy!

Hard at it and very composed in traffic. Was a solid game from Jack but I can't believe he didn't have a shot. Best shot at goal in the side by a fair way - should be lining up for those.

[Buzzy 992]

I agree that Tyson was poor.  16 of his 20 disposals were handballs, but he still had 5 clangers. Disposed of it then stood or walked.  1 tackle.  

Went missing in the last quarter.

Clayton Oliver has outperformed him in every game, Dom is consistently one of our worst ranked midfielders and is currently a Supercoach spud.  I hope Roos has the balls to make an advantage of him one of these days.

Love Jetta... I don't know how he manages it, but he just gets the job done.

Thought that Tyson was good. Wagner showed some poise in his first game. Less enthused than you by Dunny.

Agree with most of the rest. 

Watts - important score involvements

[The Backyard Charizard 1,202]

I'm having a crack at this.... 

 

N.Jones - well held early

Vince - has pointy elbows

Hogan - looked much happier

Salem - some good signs

Watts - played with passion

Viney - captain in waiting 

Lumumba - gives me goosebumps

Gawn - king of rucks

Tyson - looked heaps better

Oliver - makes me hard

Dunn - welcome back son

Stretch - quick but indecisive 

Kent - goals redeemed errors

Frost - not sure really

McDonald - strong down back

Bugg - got some cnut

Kennedy - quiet at times

vandenBerg - lacking some polish

Jetta - rebounded really well

Wagner - another week please

Harmes - loves a tackle

M.Jones - not the worst

Rubbish! Tyson was not poor. Look how we dominated the clearances. Sure, he missed a couple of targets, but some of his handball was aggressive and brilliant. To say nothing of a great goal.

He was bound to hit one eventually after missing all 3 last week.

He's not even B grade in 2016 so far.  An avg of 77 supercoach points is very ordinary for a midfielder.  Like I said, 18 y.o Oliver is already in front of him in the pecking order.

Yep, my three word summary for Watts would be TAKE THE SHOT. I suspect he will be told that. But the mark was a ripper, he actually looked pretty good streaming out of the goal square and kicked 3. Is on track for a 40 odd goal season.

When you are using Supercoach points to assess a player's impact you know you are using a flawed system.

Frost: Gives forward pressure

And that is exactly why he's in the team, Pedersen doesn't. I prefer frost.

Yes but surely he has to take a mark occasionally, accumulate some possessions and maybe even kick a goal.

Tyson  plays like he doesnt give a damn and maybe he doesnt. Casey For me until he is hungry.

Ever thought that you don't see the work he does in centre bounces, stoppages etc, Oliver gets his hands on the ball because Tyson is blocking for him

You do watch the game?

[Coup Cooper 610]

M jones the better one?? What the hell? Matt Jones turned over his first 5 kicks! Wasn't his best effort!
