A bit generous to Oliver I think, had some real brain fades with the ball in hands this week. Effort was great though.

I liked Spargo's game. He sets up goals with good disposal.

Same as in the finals last year. I'd keep him in.

Tmac - Lost his touch...

Tommy is really struggling with his marking at the mo...has lost all confidence.

He even 2 touched a simple gimme.

Some of it is positioning but a lot of it is touch.

Tommy gets his touch back and it makes us a much more dangerous team.

Yep. Not seeing the towering overhead marks that we saw last year. He clunks them for breakfast, so something is definitely amiss at the moment.

Means we can get better. Good.

Gawn... needs a gameplan

seriously... how do you dominate in the ruck but get beaten in the midfield

Goodwin... Lift your gameplan

Spargo lowers his eyes unlike some & is a smart footballer

He is a smart footballer and used it well but he didn't get much of it & is a liability as a pressure forward.

He just can't stick a tackle, the oppo run through him & off him too easily.

[Dr.D 1,771]

How was Frost when he went to go a pick up the ball and he ran around the ball, only for the sydney player to get it first. Good God. As much as Jones' goal was important. He really owed us after being outbodied by Heeney in a vital 1 on 1 in the last quarter.

Frost had another poor game.

Turnovers, brain fades, body positioning. Every week he kills us. 

Pity nothing can be done until May and Lever are ready.

Very Harsh on Spargo. Even though he may not get large numbers, he always uses the ball intelligently and delivers the ball to our advantage.

Case in point when he was in heavy congestion, but noticed Hunt all alone 30 out in the 3rd Qtr. Most would have blazed away and kicked it long, but he lowered his eyes in a split second, resulting in a goal.

I actually saw it differently.

Yes he makes mistakes,  but I thought he did his job. He was on Buddy and forced him up the ground to get most of his possessions.

He has been far better than Oscar this season and you can't drop every key back we have, until the better blokes are ready.

ATM I see Frost still in the side, ahead of Oscar, when May and Lever are back.

[chook fowler 19,531]

Spargo - good football brain

[spalding 1,128]

harsh on Frost - I thought he did well on buddy. Was happy to let him get possessions on the wing, but didn't let him get out the back (which is how he usually kills us), and only got beaten once that I can remember (the one-handed mark) relatively close to goal.

He was also better with the ball this week than the last few.

Like Tmac, Jones, Hibberd in the second half, there were signs of an improvement in form and more confidence in the second half.

I worry that Spargo is a bit slow for a small forward and not yet strong enough to stick his tackles (not for a want of effort though), but every time he gets the ball something good happens. We need him and Melksham getting the ball forward of centre. 

Special mention to Hore. Now I wish he played against Essendon - his intercept marking brought a calmness to the backline that has been missing.

Not sure if you read  replies Joeboy but after a game your thread is the first thing I go to on Demonland.

Keep up the good work

Preuss - Made Gawn better

Gawn - Better with Preuss

Jones - Half-forward flank
