At the break of Gawn 4,514 Posted September 17, 2023 Posted September 17, 2023 Fair analysis although maybe a bit harsh on Grundy. I thought he was very good in a couple of his solo ruck games. Gawn as a forward failed miserably though. 6 Quote

praha 11,267 Posted September 17, 2023 Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) Not blooding JVR during the season last year was one of the biggest mistakes Goodwin and co. have made. Even 4-5 games would have been sufficient. VFL performance dictated it. Would have been better for the run. Woewodin got invaluable experience this year (and probably should have played a final). EDIT: Woey should have probably replaced Langdon halfway through the year for a stretch of 6-7 games. Felt like him playing in the same squad as Huntet and Langdon was detrimental to both him and the team. Edited September 17, 2023 by praha 2 Quote

Turner 1,516 Posted September 18, 2023 Posted September 18, 2023 Bowey - didn't kick on Brayshaw - versatility is crucial Brown - is it over? Chandler - flashy but limited Dunstan - handy and unlucky Fritsch - so very important Gawn - was too selfless Grundy - doubts proven correct Harmes - wasn't hungry enough Hibberd - hold head high Hunter - solid without starring Jordon - limited but contributed Langdon -very down year Laurie - gifted some games Lever - did his job May - was strong again McDonald - looks completely shot McVee - a huge surprise Melksham - superb, showed heart Neal-Bullen - never stopped running Oliver - outstanding pre hammy Petracca - needed more help Petty - could be anything Pickett - patchy and comfortable Rivers - took significant strides Salem - below his standards Schache - wasn't trusted enough Smith - had a crack Spargo - deserved twos spell Sparrow - played his role Tomlinson - hard to judge Turner - improved once more van Rooyen - stood up massively Viney - real leaders season Woewodin - perfect building platform 1 1 Quote
