Yep the amount of time the dropped into the hole at CHB and help out the back men was fantastic 

[Flower Magic 776]

Gus was great tonight, not sure which game joeboy was watching.

Very good analysis but you were hard on Brayshaw. His defensive efforts were brilliant and I thought his disposal was effective for the most part.

To say Gus Brayshaw didn’t play that well is unbelievable, you have no idea

[Elwood 3184 1,298]

Jordon’s first half was better than his second.

Not to be a scold, but I think that joke played itself out a long time ago (and I was one of the original urine takers who gave joeboy stick over it).
It has been 4 years since Tyson left after all and joeboy is pretty generous in taking the time to come up with these analyses every week. 🙂

Brayshaw played a great game Joeboy

Otherwise i pretty much agree

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,664]

Welcome back Joeboy

[In Harmes Way 7,725]

Why not frame Joel Smith's game in a positive light. Seemingly waiting for the bloke to fail is pretty poor.

Agree Joel did really well last night I've said this before but those who don't rate him need to remember he has struggled to stay on the park consistently and build his confidence and understanding of the game at the top level

If he stays fit he has a good chance to continue his improvement and become a very valuable player for us 

[DeeZone 9,221]

Agree on most Joeboy but not Gus his game was one of the reasons doggies couldn’t score in the 3rd.!!

Brayshaw -  continued finals form

 

This needs to be his baseline 

[DeeSpencer 25,023]

Bowey - fantastic 9 touches

We're used to small forwards having low disposals and playing well, see Pickett in the grand final, or even last night.

But I don't think many half back flankers play as well as Bowey did with just 9 touches last night. I thought his defensive positioning and contests were really strong. 

Along with Hunt, Smith, Tomlinson I thought he allowed McDonald and particularly Brayshaw to get in intercepting positions to provide what we usually get from Lever.

I was shocked to see he had only 9 touches.

[Fritta and Turner 4,220]

Pickett - off the boil (great goal though)

Sparrow - couldnt find ball (hope he hasnt relaxed with re - signing)

Gawn - not umpires friend

Oliver - not umpires friend

Also put his body on the line in the last Quarter, it hurt, and he didn’t flinch until the ball was moved on.

Didn't even notice Libba at all.

Seemed to be playing half-forward for much of the night. Whether that was to change their on-ball mix (a polite way of saying whether he'd been demoted from that role following the pasting they received in the GF) or he had a particular role, such as tagging one of our defenders, I couldn't tell.

Oliver had what 7 or 8 free kicks paid against him for iffy infringements and yet when he was infringed against...... Play on. CLUB might need to make representations to AFL if this continues

Umps just want to make sure Oliver earns his Brownlow the hard way.
