[joeboy 3,164]

Gawn - last quarter influence 

May - back to best

Lever - steady all game

Langdon - running game returned

Petracca - only elite player

Brayshaw - horrible until last

van Rooyen - cause for excitement 

Chandler - had minimal impact

Spargo - some minor involvement 

Pickett - continued poor season

McVee - classy and cool

Rivers - brave and aggressive 

Salem - great first half

Tomlinson - hiding to nothing 

Grundy - had little influence 

Smith - quiet but encouraging 

Viney - better second half

Sparrow - some tough plays

Bowey - great until concussed

Neal-Bullen - little involvement again

Harmes - fumbled too often

Fritsch - important in bursts 

Hunter - had important touches

[Blistering 538]

Blistering is wrong

[deegirl 1,576]

Chandler - take your opportunities 

[Gouga 566]

Our medium defenders - salem, rivers, bowey and mcvee - were brilliant as a group. Huge impact ball in hand and didn't concede goals.

Has there ever been a Melbourne game win or lose where we werent mediocre ? FMD  Amazed no-one mentioned on this thread that all pies players rate 6/6.

joeboy, if Mark Twain could be invoked given ‘there are lies, damm lies and statistics’. We have taken the liberty of getting the Hoover out of the Demonland broom closet and run a fact check over some of your 3 word summations.

 Brayshaw - horrible until last

Chandler - had minimal impact

Neal Bullen - little involvement again

Pickett - continued poor season 

Spargo - some minor involvement

 

Total tackles by team 54

Contribution by the ‘quintet’ 20

etc

Statistically the contribution by the quintet would be significant. On %’s alone.

% of  team tackles 37%

i50 18%

Round off contested possessions 15%
 
Not claiming a sophisticated analysis but remove the quintets’ contributions we struggle to win. Of course plenty of room for improvement as with most of the team’s performance.

I was at a Dee's game against the Swans...Bails vs Roos where everyone in red and Blue were better than excellent 

[Jumping Jack Clennett 1,778]

I think that game might have influenced Roos in his decision to come to Melbourne.

[monoccular 17,413]

Tomlinson - facilitated backtall balance

[layzie 33,752]

Thought Nibbler was better than last week but can still do more.
