6 - Salem (was great when we needed him to be)

5 - Oliver (terrific again especially in the 1st & last quarters)

4 - T-Mac (solid all day and set up a lot of attacks)

3 - Jetta (was very good all day)

2 - Garlett (3 goals and was a danger to their defence throughout)

1 - Jones (lifted when required)

Others who could have featured include Tyson (prolific) ,  Harmes (hard at it),  Hunt (used his pace well),  Stretch & Watts were also good at times. 

It's also interesting to note the players who could have ordinarily been expected to receive votes ... Gawn,  Lewis,  Hogan,  Viney,  Petracca & Brayshaw.  Gawn actually played quite well but we're now expecting him to dominate.

6.  Salem  -  hard, courageous and sublime skills.  He arrived today!

5.  Jones  -  consistent ball winner in the clinches and used it well .  Great leadership

4.  Oliver  -  prolific, but skills a bit off compared to last week.

3.  Jetta  -  tough and unrelenting.  Neat disposal.

2.  Garlett  -  sharp and quick and developing his defensive game

1.  TMac  -  very reliable and used it well

6 Salem (Wow what a first half and kept tackling and hitting targets by foot all day).

5 Jones (reliable, kicked goals and broke lines with his kicking)

4 T-Mac (I know the zone means he didn't have Weitering all the time, but when he did, it was man v boy)

3 Garlett (I bet he loved fixing up his old side - Will Docherty ever recover?)

2 Watts (Timid early but once he got into the ruck his confidence grew and he is still the best kick in the side)

1 Jetta (How about the bump on Kreuzer. He was brill all day with his attack on the ball)

Sorry Clayton but you were a cancer early going backwards almost every time you got it and when it comes to the key stat you lost 10-5 in clearances to Cripps. Don't worry i still rate you as the most likely superstar in our side, but you have legs, you can kick and you can go forward some times and take responsibility for setting up our offence.

A few put in some fantastic last quarter efferots to drag us over the line, but these were the best across the game IMO.

In line with something I posted in the Oliver thread, it is ridiculously over the top to describe Oliver's game as a cancer. Reckon we'd have been better off without his 35 disposals and 9 tackles do you?

6. Salem - clearly BoG

5. Jones - very clean with the ball

4. Oliver - clearance king

3. Tyson - got better as the game went on

2. Garlett - lots of important moments

1. Watts - kicked a couple and set up a handful

6. Salem

5. Jetta

4. Oliver

3. Tyson (would have been higher but for too many errant disposals, particularly early)

2. T McDonald

1. Garlett

If Watts' second and third quarters were like his first or last he would have been high up in the votes.

I realise that everyone has opinions but leaving Jetta out of the best six is ridiculous.

Not really. I never do votes until I have a chance to watch the replay so I might change my mind, but at the game I felt Jetta was good, but I didnt have him in the best. (my best are actually very close to @demon9). Just because he plays his role doesnt mean he gets a spot in the best every week, seems some just add him in because everyone loves him. His value to the team is undeniable! but it's not a crime to have him out of the best doesn't automaticly mean we think he is the worst. Really I think Oscar played his role just as well as jetts did, I dont see a single vote for him. People seem to look for the best in Jetta and the worst in Oscar. 
(For the record I wouldn't have Oscar in the best, but I dont think he was worse than Jetta)

Agree on Jetta. Due to our larger midfield brigade getting back, Jetta is getting a lot of uncontested possessions and intercept marks as he doesn't have to stay strictly on his man. This gives the appearance that he's having a blinder where he's actually more just like a loose man in defense. Still a good consistent player and definitely in the top 8 players for us yesterday.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
