My 3 word player analysis V PT Adelaide

[joeboy 3,166]

Gawn - All Australian performance 

Viney - great first half

Pickett - always looked likely

Neal-Bullen - impressive connection game

Billings - many wasted possessions 

Salem - impressive first half

Langdon - needed more involvement 

Petty - had some moments

Sparrow - not a tagger

McVee - rarely showed out

McDonald - held opponent well

Chandler - was rarely dangerous 

Lever - just a shadow

Tomlinson - effective not showy

Hore - some inexplicable errors

Oliver - lazy and inefficient 

Turner -?had little impact 

Fritsch - a wasted talent

Howes - held dangerous opponent 

Tholstrup - regularly lacked awareness 

Rivers - a disappointing performance

vanRooyen - couldn’t get involved 

Melksham - couldn’t influence game

 

[Wells 11 5,398]

Bit tough  on melksham…he played half a quarter! plus he was involved in what should have been the winning play via fritsch and tholstrup. 

[Ollie fan 3,370]

I thought TMac was not good tonight, and was outmarked by Ratagulea multiple times. Chandler was terrific in his pressure and tackling - surely you saw that, Joeboy! Hore was much better in there second half as he got the pace of the game. And Oliver has many issues, with his hand and his  fitness, but not lazy! So:

 

Joeboy - got many wrong.

Oliver was pretty sick and others too, so even better effort.

And yet we lead most of the night and went down by 2 miserable points.

Absolutely no doubt about that.

[JJJ 1,265]

There’s a few players with covid at other clubs who are suffering. Wouldn’t surprise if a few of our players are too.

[fr_ap 2,478]

McVee - not a mid 

Does not have the frame or ability in heavy congestion. He's a ripping 1v1, aerial and slingshot player. His home is half back.

why play him??

[BW511 2,668]

I am far from a Sparrow fan but the amount of times I’ve seen ‘Sparrow - great tagging game’ or similar would suggest you do think he can tag

So you base that broad statement on a sample of one and a bit games? Gee, you're good Nostradamus.

[Deelectable 1,043]

Very tough assessments there indeed.  Thought Turner, Lever and Sparrow were all very good contributors.  The pile on of Clarry is obscene.

I'm not basing it on his output as a mid last night. I'm basing it on my assessment of him as a player and I've been saying this ever since people started mentioning his name for midfield 

Am allowed to have long held opinions champ. Jog on
