Why does smith get "not a defender"? All he did today was defend Riewoldt. Lever is "not a defender", he just floats around pointing fingers. 

[Queanbeyan Demon 6,899]

Gawn - Still learning leadership

Viney - Mindless repeat offender

Hibbert - Best game recently

May - Does not lead

Fritsch - Protects his spot

Oliver - Clearly uncoachable player

Petracca - Goodwin's only positive

Salem - What went wrong?

Brayshaw - Lazy, careless, comatose

Hannan - Glen Iris interchange

Langdon - Who, where, what?

Harmes - Viney the second

vandenBerg - Good at Ainslie

Tomlinson - Giant's win trade

McDonald - Captain of reserves

Pickett - Too inexperienced ATM

Lockhart - Battler and limited

Lever - 11th game back

Rivers - Worth persisting with

Smith - Oh deary me

Melksham - One good year

Hunt - Little boy lost

[dimmy 1,308]

Viney/Oliver/Melsham/Tomlinson/Langdon : Disposal issues

Brayshaw : needs game time ( the reson he goes missing is because he is sitting on bench !!)

Small Fwd Line : Not working because of point 1

Decision making : non existaent

Hibberd : I will eat my words -great effort game

TMac : See point 1 ----moved well

Hannan : was good breaks lines

Pickert/Lockart : Overwhelmed but promising

Weid/ OMac/ Jetta/ Jones : Missing the maturity

Umpires : Invent rule changes

Crowd noise : Advantage : Drowns out Taylor

                        Disadvantage : Sounds like American "comedy"

[dee-tox 4,835]

Pickett, all buzz no sting.

[Tarax Club 4,060]

Joeboy - provides catharsis opportunity

Gawn - weighed down albatross

Viney -  lack of sleep?

Hibbert - took game on

May - starting to impress

Fritsch - room to move

Oliver - lose the %#@*?!!

Petracca - classier than dusty

Salem - diagnosis says vanilla-itus

Brayshaw -  unfortunately missed flight

Hannan - had real dip

Langdon - Bryan prefers Hunt

Harmes - effective in middle

VandenBerg - crack of sunshine

Tomlinson - goal kick imbroglio

McDonald - bring back Hulk!

Pickett - apprenticeship needed first

Lockhart -  subliminal beep repeat

Lever - earn your keep!

Rivers - most promising rookie

Smith - Oscar gaining traction

Melksham - coach must act

Hunt - Bryan where's Hunt?

Goodwin - prayer does help

MFC - mostly fiasco complex

That's a really good summary, and somehow gives hope.

[Swooper1987 3,322]

Harsh on Gawn.  He was excellent.  Equal leading tackler on the ground,huge number of hitouts to advantage, 22 disposals at 64% efficiency and 5 marks.  Even Jay Clark gave him a vote in the Herald Sun.  I reckon the man has set an impossibly high standard here!

Give him more game time only 3rd game, showing promise and excitement in the forward half

He got those hit outs in the last quarter once Nankervis was injured. Gawn's form is an issue, his inability to kills balls on the goal line once again on show. Needs to be stronger in the contest.

[Dido 79]

Gawn - effort is there

Viney -  Where is hardness

Hibbert - liked his game

May - captain down back

Fritsch - needs some bulk

Oliver - kick to mates!

Petracca - best for dees

Salem - lost in translation

Brayshaw -  like his effort

Hannan - Good to watch

Langdon - same as Hunt

Harmes - liked in middle

VandenBerg - building to standard

Tomlinson - disappointing for size

McDonald - Big boy whinger

Pickett - Will be good

Lockhart -  didn't notice him

Lever - I am Robot

Rivers - Great for dees

Smith -liked his spoils

Melksham - time to go

Hunt - worse than Langdon

Rubbish.  He had 19 disposals to 3/4 time and his 6 tackles were all recorded up until 3/4 time.  As I said, he has set an incredibly high standard and his form in two of the four games we've played has seen him in the top three on the ground.  He was certainly more than acceptable last week and only in round 1 would I say he was beaten by Naitanui.  He comprehensively beat Nankervis.

[chook fowler 19,685]

Tomlinson- lazy and insipid

AVB - slow and ineffective

Hunt - frequently goes missing

Salem - out of form

Harmes - where were you?

Viney - bloody hell mate

Melksham - style over substance

TMac - Granny is faster

[Fanatique Demon 2,660]

Gawn is doing ok, but Brody is now well ahead of him.

Nankervis got a goal and 3 score involvements in his 46% ground time. Gawn had a direct turnover inside defensive 50 and one score involvement from the whole game. We were losing clearances by about 5 when Nankervis went off. Nank had 11 pressure acts to gawn's 15 despite being on the ground half the amount of time. I expect and we require a lot more from our captain. Is having an ordinary season and wouldn't be in the top handful of Ruckman on his form this season.

Disagree.  Nankervis goal was a gimmee from a terrible umpiring decision against Petracca.  Nankervis got injured immediately before 3/4 time.  Chol and Nakervis shared ruck duties and Gawn played 90% on ground.  He beat both Chol and Nakervis convincingly and if you saw it any other way I doubt you were watching the same game as me.  Gawn was not the reason we played so poorly today. And as for the season.  We've played 4 games.  He was beaten in round 1, was second best on ground in round 2 according to the coaches (8 votes), beat the Geelong rucks last week and was clearly in the best 5 or 6 on the ground today.  Solid enough form for me.

Like when Chol streamed out of the center and hit Riewoldt lace out while Gawn was lying on the ground in the center? We must have been watching different games, I can't remember ever seeing a Melbourne player do that.

Except he Grundy couldn't beat Phillips on Friday night.  Grundy has played 1 good game this season - round 1 against the Bulldogs.  Todd Goldstein has actually been the form ruckman this season.

So you are saying Chol was a more influential player today than Gawn?  Righto!

[Watts the matter 1,235]

Just now, Swooper1987 said:

Influential? Sure he had 4 score involvements and twice showed AFL standard skills to hit a leading forward inside 50. If the benchmark for Gawn is breaking even with someone like Chol or Nank we are wasting our money. He should be dominating these guys, taking big marks and kicking goals.

Are you Simon Goodwin? What influence did Gawn have on the game? Sure he helps us get it forward, but that doesn't win you games of football. Are you gonna celebrate that we won the inside 50s?

When did Gawn take a big mark or set up a goal? I'm not interested in a tall player with average skills getting 22 posessions, this is on of the reasons we can't connect with our forward line. If he can't get a quick handball of to a runner, we are restricted to a long kick down the line or a loopy 20 meter pass.
