[joeboy 3,174]

Gawn - an Herculean performance 

Viney - blood and guts 

Lever - incredible under duress 

Neal Bullen - almost career best

Windsor - the real deal

Petracca - powerful, and important 

Langdon - form has returned 

McDonald - form of old

Petty - needed more involvement 

Rivers - some vital interceptions 

vanRooyen - tried but overwhelmed 

Brown - some pivotal moments 

Fritsch - almost an onlooker 

Chandler - courageous and clever

Pickett - had limited involvement 

Howes - calm under pressure 

Oliver - great in last

Salem - not his best

Sparrow - great tagging game

Hore - limited but impressive

The form of Pickett, Billings and JvR were the worries...

C'mon man, he was kicking at 72% accuracy at goal last season... Give the kid a break. He is working harder now being the 2nd ruck.

Van Rooyen, not a ruckman, poor hands, Billings, not his type of game.

[Tarax Club 4,093]

joeboy - tripping night fantastic some inspired triplets tonight. Some Milton would be proud of or are sword and sandal movies being revived in Rundleland?

eg. 
Gawn - an Herculean performance  so apt 
Chandler - courageous and clever  bandages flapping in the breeze gives that ambulant epic look.

Viney- blood and guts now that was an Epic! 

El Langdon watch; yes young Ed is very much on track covering post to post.

Just slightly perplexed by;

Hore - limited but impressive  skills wise or ToG%? Definitely not lacking ticker.

Well done JB.

The only exception is Fritta kicked two important goals.

Told ya about Jeffo. Had a rare off day with his accuracy but marked at will.

With JVR he is being made to ruck at 193 cms which is pretty hard for starters and then when he is forward, the ball is again being kicked high to a pack, hence his high flying miracle attempts.

When he is given some decent passes, combined with his accuracy at goal kicking, he will produce some very good performances.

Give the young kid some space.  When not required to do so much ruck work , like last year, he made some great leads, clunked some strong mark and kicked some super goals

He is going through a rough spot and needs support not  mockery

I am not mocking him. Just saying I think he is overrated.

JVR will be a top shelfer. Some of you clowns were seeing the compensation pick as a win win if we lost Viney to geelong fo free agency in pre 2021. So I interpret what a number of you think about football as though I was picking up my dogs feaces off your front lawn to be honest when it comes to knowing our players.  

Would be an interesting thread to dig up

He also provides defensive efforts. Last night he got a key contested mark with 2 minutes on the clock and Port just bombing into our 50. Those can be game winning one percenters.

See what I mean below. Case in Point. All re: Jack Viney staying or going in sep 20. He was always our same Jack.  Some people or  just thick. And on that premise I will not buy the JVR is over rated or no good.
