Brown - poor foot disposal

Carroll - excellent all day

Bizzell - fit and valuable

Holland - made few errors

Ward - was rarely noticed

Bell - dashing but loose

Johnstone - was well subdued

McDonald - a wonderful effort

Petterd - has been better

Frawley - out of depth

Miller - disappointed yet again

Davey - brilliant too rarely

Neitz - last quarter heroics

Robertson - had little influence

Johnson - starting to perform

White - started numerous thrusts

Dunn - had no influence

Bruce - a masterful display

Green - better when released

Godfrey - year's best game

Jones - an inspired game

McLean - showed his importance

Carroll - excellent all day? He played very well, but was terrible in the first quarter. Think Robbo did well when the opportunity arose, so his review was harsh. As far as PJ goes, why did we take him off in the last quarter?

thats probably the best one u have done all year!

MFC - Kick the (bloody) ball

Jones - let's clone him

Johnson - So long Jamar

i agree deestroy

ward: never ever play again!

thats probably the best one u have done all year!

Brown - Ran all day

Petterd - Good each time

Bell - Gives us run

happy to be corrected but wasnt it Carrol who simply moved aqway from the mark allowing grant the easy run around goal?

Bell - dashing but loose

Loose? How many goals did his various opponents kick?

His forward thrust was brilliant today.

As for Robbo, he had as much influence as he possibly could have given the ball got nowhere near our forwards for 3 quarters. It was a good return match.

Ward and Brown are symptomatic of Melbourne at the moment. Lots of possessions for no return.

a lady in front of us was saying brown was one of our best at 3/4 time and then they showed he was leading possestion getter on the ground and was a little smug until we said how many of his disposals have HURT the opposition??

ward and brown wont be seen once bartram and whelan are fit, you can hold me to that

bizzel and carrol were fantastic today.

conceding only 8 goals to 3/4 time considering the amount of times the ball went inside 50 was fantastic.

carrol's marking is strong

Dont know why brown gets bagged so much

Thought Miller played ok must get out of habit to h/ball first option.

im now convinced Miller has amongst the teams worst football brains. takes too long to decide...and then invariably wrong.

Game thoughts:

Number one: DO NOT play on when you are under pressure or your teammates are not in the position u will kick the ball to. Too many times players played on and there was noone to mark the ball

Number 2: DO NOT put other players under pressure. Too many of our experienced guys did this

Number 3: Tackle

Number 4: Buzz to line up each week till Bartram returns

because he doesnt offer anything to the side, cant kick, always takes the bad option and never does anything damaging with the ball

cant blame Robbo too much...delivery to him was woeful!! bordering on disgusting really.

we need to go back to basics and learn some fundamental skills of this game.

Some drongo dees supporter called up MMM after the game to single out players that weren't going to take Melbourne foward to win a flag, and he managed to single out N.Carroll, P.Johnson and S.Grodfrey.

Not sure what game he was watching, or if he has been watching any lately, but if you visit these boards and are reading this. YOU ARE AN IDIOT!

Johnson did a good job in the ruck in the last quarter

Bell wasnt loose and kept the abysmal (on the day) dwards reasonably quiet, though Edwards had chances to kick a few. Wouldnt say that was Godfrey's best game - his man Harvey was influential for the Roos.

Miller - Oh my God!

or

Miller - Please debut Newton!!!

Miller - Stop handballing it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every time he got the ball he would look around to handball it off and if there wasn't an option he would waste even more time looking for someone to kick too

I recon Carroll was best of the defenders...even better than biz

Bizzell was sensational.

Bruce played a ripping game, and only made one mistake by foot which is a nice change.

Neita showed he is still a force.

McLean will be better for the run.

Paul Johnson is now miles ahead of Jamar, his tapwork was good today and his impact around the ground absolutely shits all over what Jamar can do.

Godfrey kept Harvey semi-quiet.

Jones is just an unreal talent.

The most ironic thing that happened today was that it was pretty obvious that Frawley needs some time at Sandy to get his game back up to the level it was before he got injured

Brad Miller - AFL's worst player
