My 3 word player analysis V The Poos

MFC - Kick the (bloody) ball

Jones - let's clone him

Johnson - So long Jamar

In my eyes, Nathan Jones is now on a level with Bartram as a newcomer, and we will here a lot about the Mclean/Jones midfield group into the future.

I thought Godfrey did a decent tagging job which continues his great vein of form but again his footskills let him down.

turned it over too often for direct goals.

His turnovers hurt mfc more then his great tagging jobs.

Frawley/Garland is further proof that if u don't have form on the board, u'll b found out in the seniors. Newton should be nxt in line.

i dont quite get why everyone roasts Godders kicking...its no worse than most in red and blue ( which I concede is not that flsh at times ) but some of his passing was amongst the better weighted kicking all day!!

Does poor Simon Godfrey have a target on his stomach that says "punch me, I'm a tagger"?

I know his disposal is awful, but you gotta respect a man who gets up every time he is hit behind the play and goes about his business like nothing happened.

Lesser men would start a fight and get in trouble. He just gets up and carries on.

Godfrey's best game, Joeboy, are you kidding me?

He comprehensively beat S.Burgoyne, Goodes and Scotty West, whilst yesterday he let Harvey have 25 possessions.

Open your eyes mate.

I think people are under-rating Brock's performance.

Coming back from 8 weeks out, playing approx. 60% of the game and still racked up 22possessions and 6 first-possessions at the stoppages highlights the great-mans importance. He is the clearance king for us, better then Junior and better then Jones will ever be. Credit where credit's due for Chook.

I want to back up Nasher's post #41, Jones does need to work on his disposal alot, had 2 shots at goal before he slotted the big one, and missed both. A couple of his handballs were behind his team-mate.

Try 22, with 4 clearances and 9 tackles in only 56% game time, with about 60% fitness.

I know that my obsession with him is bordering on unhealthy, but gees that is some good stats. He is a star in the making!

He also makes Jones better.

Your obsession is justified I just hope Brock and Jones can play out the season, I think they compliment each other beautifully.

Throw in Moloney and Bruce and it looks good. I just hope it happens.

[dazzledavey36 54,946]

Jones is going to be a star.

I think he is now my number one player.

I'm starting to get tired of seeing brad miller play. How can an AFL footballer be afraid to kick the ball? When he was forced to kick it was often not the right option or he'd just kick the ball as far as he could. Needs to prove his worth at Sandy, its time to give Newton a go or play lynden dunn there.

Don't think it was Godfrey's best game, his disposal was woeful at times and Harvey was pretty influencial.

i agree, but i cant help but think that it must be a direct instruction from the coaches, otherwise they would be telling him to kick.

a question for those who have seen him play at sandy, does he play a similar role to what he plays for the dees?

I said it on here a while back, and I'll say it again. Jones is going to be a star. Maybe even on par with the great Brock Mclean. Here is a guy with less than 20 games under his belt, and he is in there smashing his way to get at the ball, and is not intimidated by anyone in his path. He's been copping a fair few bumps behind play recently I've noticed, and it's getting obvious that oppositions are starting to rate him as highly as we are. He is just so determined, and he is showing alot of leadership out there for someone so young. Twice this season he has kicked a great goal and fired up to nearly get us over the line the last quarter (see Port Adelaide and North Melb matches). His one flaw is his kicking, which while isn't perfect, isnt that bad anyway. With time it will get there, and when it does, we are going to have another fantastic midfielder on our hands. The thought of Brock and Jones in the midfield together is another to make any Dee supporter salivate.

Brad Miller - AFL's worst player

Argh I only just saw this post! Well at least he is pretty to look at joke! No he is not the worst player he gives 110%. We persevered with Godfrey and now he has come good Miller will do the same and hes not even that bad!
