Jones - dynamic and reliable

Viney - struggled to impose

Salem - important second half

Watts - retribution was his

Petracca - fantastic second half

Lewis - disappointingly a liability

Tyson - regularly butchered disposals

Oliver - more kicking please

Hibberd - clever but loose

Frost - continued to impress

Melksham - some important touches

Hannan - was rarely sighted

Pedersen - loved his energy

Vince - not a defender

T.McDonald - last quarter impact 

O.McDonald - gradually became important

Hunt - was almost outstanding 

Neal-Bullen - tried but ineffective 

Bugg - provided important contesting

Garlett - great forward pressure 

Jetta - courageous but loose

Harmes - was rarely noticed

Hannan here was a little underrated. He was sop important in the 3rd and 4th in pressure acts and score involvements. Won me over today.

Hahahahaha, was waiting for the negative on Tyson. He was the ONLY mid making any difference at all in the first half and was very good in the second half. Yes a couple of his kicks didn't end up where hoped but they were quick kicks out of congestion. Glad to see you didn't disappoint with your bias on him!

Lewis - hang up boots

Not many arguments from me. It was a thrilling win but we never really got out of first gear. Definitely not one of our best performances. Still too many blokes butchering kicks

"Melksham - some important touches"

He had 10 disposals at 40% DE. 

Stats aren't the be all and end all, but cmon, he was crap today.

This was without doubt the one game when Oliver kicked more than he handballed. 15 k to 11 HB to be exact. Didnt you watch him?

Not sure about your Frost praise. Seemed to make many poor choices today especially his constant play on, often straight into oppo players.

Jetta only made one major error as well. He was very good.

Nice work Joeboy. I have always enjoyed reading this thread after a game.

Dont let the haters get you down. Call it as you see it.

I like Joeboy.  Love this thread.

 

But the Tyson call was absolutely and definitely incorrect.

 

He was a star from start to finish.  He has what a many in our team don't yet:  composure.

 

 

 

 

Look at the replay.  Decision-making A.  Execution A.  Hardness A.  His best ever game of footy IMO.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for the others, Hannan - finds a path (with oily shoulders)

Bugg - Keeps missing chances.

Bugg was poor again. Back to Casey.

Thought Bugg was clearly ahead of Harmes today. He will have a 4-5 goal game soon. Continually gets to the right spots, and while he doesn't have the class of some others, he makes up for it with his workrate. Definitely don't think he is a long term option, but have him above Harmes/Kent/JKH at the moment.

I disgaree. His woeful kicking is a liability, not a big pressure guy either. JKH or Kent would offer more. Bernie is doing the niggle job he could possibly do.

Agree with this.

 

Hannan is a kid in AFL terms, and if you keep his experience in mind, he is performing magnificently at this stage.

Playing half forward with Trac, and hits a pack with a huge leap, and with aggression in the air that belies his physical size. And he has almost elite off the ground skills, very quickly getting hand/foot to ball, off the ground while surrounded.

 

Like Alex N.B, I am warming to him.

So many people here looking for more positive comments.

How would you be viewing it, if Colonwwod had kicked just one more goal?

Did a great job on Pendlebury and kicked important goal. Watch the game.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
