Jetta - livelier but careless 

Lever - just a game

Hibberd - consistently gave drive

Hunt - lacking customary drive

McDonald - continued good form

Jones - indefatigable and inspiring 

Gawn - dominant from centre

Oliver - classy and consistent 

Vince - not a tagger

Salem - ineffective on ball

Neal-Bullen - had little impact 

Lewis - almost always solid

Petracca - classy and impressive 

Pedersen - was rarely sighted

Harmes - tough and effective 

Fritsch - classy and brave

Garlett - perfect forward’s game

Hogan - 3 great quarters

Wagner - didn’t imbue confidence 

Bugg - tried but failed

Tyson - was mostly reliable

Melksham - was almost effective 

 

Lewis - fell over... lots

Hunt : Cannot defend

Lever : Cannot hold ball

Wagner : Can tackle !!!!

Jeffy : Magnificent

Clarrie : Best player in AFL under 21

Room for improvement 

Lewis - Lazy and undisciplined. 

Bugg- only kicks points!

He is not the least bit dangerous around goal. Honestly his shot conversion has to be the worst on the list.

Not bad joeboy, but I disagree on Vince.  Zorko may have got off the leash a little in the second half but he completely shut him out of the game in the first half.  He generally limited his influence and did a good job.

I thought Martin evened things up with Gawn, Lewis was a liability, but otherwise agree.

Hunt is worrying not sure what his problem is. Hasn’t gone on with it this season. 

If we didn’t have Oliver in the guts I wonder if we would win a game. And that is a worry. We need Viney back as soon as. 

We definitely paid overs for lever.

What is all that s love for Jones?  He was hopeless 90% of the time.  Handballs like a headless chook, rushes and kicks to really poor options.  He did 2 good things, and about 20 bad.

jetta - spot on.  He was thrashed by all comers, gave cheapie frees, outpositioned and lost his man too easily.

a few of these guys should be looking over their shoulders after that performance.

looking like a slightly above average middle table team ATM

Jones = maybe you're right.

is Wagner a 'run-with' possibility, dimmy?

Lewis... career almost over

Bugg.. not much skill

Harmes.. drinks own bathwater

Lever.. JUST A PLAYER

Jetta ... Is he ill??

TOO MANY DEES........... JUST CANT PLAY!!

 

We have a few good players who are out of form. Off the top of my head Lever, Hunt, Jetta and Salem, have all looked a bit off in the first 2 games.

I thought Salem looked great in the firat half. Clean every time, tackles well, chased hard.

He will be good for us. We are not using him as the Crows did. He is picking up a key forward which stops him sweeping. Needs Frost and Oscar to take key forwards and then he can sweep and float off his nan a bit. 

His passing from the back will set up play for us.

Classic Demonland.  If someone isn't dominating inside the first 2 games of arriving at the club then he's no good, we paid overs and our FD are a joke.

Agree, he should be running with Casey!

Replace Wagner with Frost and let Lever play the 3rd defender.

Replace Lewis instead.

Would like to add Goodwin to these wonderful assessments:

After two rounds mine is:

"Wasting the list"

It is obvious we have a decent list but we are simply not realising the potential of so many players.

Salem is a good example and Petracca could be so much better just to name two.

Brayshaw : Missed the plane.

Yeh, Wagner could be a "stopper"as lond as when he gets it somebody responsible is in the area . Buit  a real trier

 

I'm with Buck Nekkid re Jones.

Check him on the replay : he coughs it up quite a bit, is messy by hand and 50/50 by foot. Nice to see him snag a couple of goals last night - he doesn't kick all that many.

Which takes me on to Kent. I wouldn't be considering him. Oppo teams don't fear him because he tackles like Jack Watts and doesn't hurt them on the scoreboard. Seriously. He just does not kick goals; all he has is leg speed. I think of  Sam Blease as a comparison - lightning fast but not an asset.

Early days.... but not promising thus far.
