Jones - age catching up

Viney - great when unburdened

Fritsch - was all class

Hogan - ten minute game

Harmes - played with heart

Brayshaw - prolific but wasteful 

Lewis - often a liability

Melksham - playing slow motion

T.McDonald - was probably injured

Neal-Bullen - an irrelevant player

Petracca - plenty of nothing

Tyson - a dumb player

Weideman - nothing to commend

Gawn - one man team

Hannan - devoid of ability

Hibberd - reduced to amateurish

Oliver - rarely found space

Petty - debut to forget

Salem - undisciplined and disappointing 

Smith - little to praise

Jetta - was still concussed

O.McDonald - was emphatically embarrassing 

 

 
 

Selection = Some pace please

I'm not saying we have much in this area but FCS time to roll the dice on anyone with a bit of toe.  Time for Baker, Stretch and last roll for Garlett.

Disagree with a lot of this.

Hibberd played well. Salem was good. Smith was good. Jones was good. Lewis made blunders, but his composure and skill was first class again.

 

i actually thought that nathan Jones was good. I thought him and gawn were standouts wih fritsch being serviceable. everyone else was disgusting. where was the defensive mindset? weak as p!$$

Thought Petracca played better this week. Gawn was excellent. Clarity down on usual.

 

Nitpicking over individual performances is pointless after a game like todays.

 We got beat by a team that was better on the day.

That being said, Dom Tyson sucks.

Harsh on Hibbo. Never stopped working. The rest are probably right, maybe Salem and Smith were a little stiff as well.

BB29 I disagree about Petracca, disappears for loooong stretches of the game, then does something brilliant ( this is frustrating) This is the first time I reckon I think StK got it right by selecting McCartin

Interesting, is it about expectation based the Trac’s potential? I thought he battled on today and did some good things but yes he could not turn the game on it’s head. But I can’t remember him being responsible for an absolute howler whereas how many of our guys coughed up the ball with embarrassing errors? 

We all hope for more but today he put in, I thought. 

Hold your heads up high Gawny, Fristchy and Hibbo.

3 out of 22 players says something doesnt it?

disagree with Hibberd, thought he was best backman, agree about TMac and Nev, both shouldn't have played. And at the moment Hannan is a complete waste of space, Jeffy would have given a contest, this bloke is scared of contact!!!!

Fair enough 4,?


Pass Marks:

Gawn

Hibbo

Fritsch

Harmes

Viney

Brayshaw ** (was lazy with disposal - but tried)

That's it. Honestly, that is all i can find. i think Salem tried and others as well, but trying hard should be mandatory.

And was a very effective spoiler ... unfortunately went better for StKilda than us !!

He might run lots....needs to think lots too ;)

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
