Posted May 6, 20232 yr Gawn - probably broke even Petracca - was rarely clean Oliver - disposals were iffy Rivers - good and evil Petty - not a forward! van Rooyen - tried but failed Fritsch - career worst game Bowie - loose but improved Turner - was rarely convincing McVee - needs a break May - was generally effective Lever - often found out Grundy - had little influence Langdon - couldn’t get involved Pickett - some occasional cameos Sparrow - some important touches Viney - four quarter endeavour Chandler - was well held Harmes - had some impact Brayshaw - spirit and conviction Jordon - another bland game Hunter - some costly options Neil-Bullen - couldn’t get involved Edited May 6, 20232 yr by joeboy
May 6, 20232 yr Gawn - There when needed Petracca - Some important touches Oliver - Tough but tagged Rivers - Our best driver Petty - Better down back van Rooyen - Great aerial presence Fritsch - Record is over Bowie - Provided good run Turner - Not quite ready McVee - Clean and reliable May - Improved with time Lever - Some late relevance Grundy - No real impact Langdon - Can't get involved Pickett - Hits when needed Sparrow - Career best game Viney - Lifted in last Chandler - Smooth but ineffective Harmes - Brought great energy Brayshaw - Classic Brayshaw's Back Jordon - He's just "there" Hunter - In slow motion
May 6, 20232 yr Yeah I thought McVee had one of his better games. Generally not a fan of Brayshaw and his NQR moments but he has lifted in the last 2 weeks and been important. May floundered again.

It was a hard fierce game from both teams and fortunately we came out on top.
May 6, 20232 yr JJ - every possession effective AFL stats says on for 65% of game with 17 possies at 88% efficiency. I still say he was 100% effective. Edited May 6, 20232 yr by Redleg

May 6, 20232 yr joeboy your 3 word player analysis is most anticipated up here in the far flung regions of the realm. A little like the old Sporting Globe at the local newsagents when you got home from the 'G on Saturday evening. Especially after a closely fought win. May we urge you to continue the good work! So pleased you stuck a few little gems in to heighten interest and awareness. Rivers - good and evil Had to work very hard after that smothered kick resulted in a late Suns goal. Brayshaw - spirit and conviction Doesn't get better than that, a truly on the road to Damascus moment. Would love to add this one... Gawn - At Witts end Edited May 6, 20232 yr by Tarax Club
May 6, 20232 yr Oliver Gottas over line Van Royen Back to Casey Petty not a forward BBB Come on down Turner not quite there

May 6, 20232 yr Joeboy. Hard to please MFC. Got the Points GCS. Harder than some 640MD. Nervous all game
May 6, 20232 yr Hopelessly negative! I only read it to see how far you are from reality. This one takes the cake! Those that think BBB is a certainty may not have watched Casey. JVR may miss due to collision, not poor form! He makes contests and hits the pack hard.
May 6, 20232 yr Love your work Max Gawn My Best players Clarry. Trac. JV. Sparrow Brayshaw Did their job Rivers. Bowey. Lever Grundy Pickett played Satisfactory game JJ Mcvee Hunter. Chin Back to backline Petty Still very raw JVR Turner Not fully fit? May More needed from Langdon. ANB. very disappointing night Fritsch

I think we had about 7 good players and 5 average performances by another 5. Gcs are a good side. They way outmarked us and we looked exposed down back quite often. I really wish Petty could return there. I think our tackling pressure was very good and forced Gcs to make some poor choices at times. Its hard to say if we played poor or they played well. I hope its a little from each column. Both our back and fwd lines have been a work in progress this year and last night reflected this. I know I looked at Gcs form and expected a 7 goal win. I mean that's what a flag contender should do to a nascent club like gcs. But the competition is much tighter this season and we are a team that is still experimenting with their structure. I also think the fact that we have been to SA, WA and Qld twice out of our 8 games takes somewhat of a toll on the players.

Their Midfield in Rowell, Anderson & Swallow are definitely not the weakest in the AFL. Anderson is an absolute gun (A potential Tracc) , Rowell is another Viney . And Wiks is a genuinely good ruckman (and team man) !!!
