Godfrey - Deadly right foot

people have always bagged godfreys kicking because people didnt realize that he is a right footer...his right foot is fantastic and his left (his weaker side) is average...haha

I thought Davey was pretty quiet for a lot of the match but improve as it went on.

Poor Bruce... what a dog of a day for him.

ROBBO!! ROBBO!! ROBBO!!

More good performances from our younger squad, Bate, Sylvia, Bell, Mclean, Petterd, Paul Johnson (who took some very fine overhead marks, you may recall) all had pretty good days out.

How satisfying was it to see first Sylvia and Mclean just burst through people to set up goals, one after the other?

And special mention for No. 2. I never had the priviledge of watching Robbie Flower play, but that little re-enactment by Jones of the swivel-around-the-man move that must be Flower's most replayed highlight was something special.

Loved Holland's scragging of Rocca. too. Spare a thought for all the poor buggers who had Rocca in their dream team.

And finally, a big special mention to the defenders coming back from wretched injury runs. A lot of us, myself included, were getting the feeling we might have seen the last of both Bizzell and Wheatley at AFL level. Bizzell was good all day with a tough job to do, Wheatley was just priceless. For once I enjoyed some daft commentator chat when they started talking about Wheatley's 'Big Weapon'. (The booming kick, I'm fairly sure)

Never thought we would see these 3 words next to Daniel Ward's name...........

Daniel Ward - pin point pass

Have a look at the 53 second mark of the 2nd qtr - a piece of history! D Ward kicks a beautiful pass directly into Bruce!

I am only 1/2 joshing - I like Wardy.........

And what about Wardy's brilliant spoil and fierce tackle in that vital 3rd quarter? Get off his back guys!

I was only half joking - I am not on his back - I think he has been a great servant of our club - I have said it many times before on this board. He gives his all!

Honestly - I am a fan. One of my kids even has Wardy's number on his back and Daniel is always delightful whenever he sees my little bloke - actually remembers him and says it is because there aren't too many kids running around with 10 on their backs.

He played a good game today and I applaud him for that!

ward has a pure red and blue heart, he bleeds for our club and i personally thought his efforts today were excellent. he is a hard running player who tries to always make a contest. A lot of players should follow in his on field work ethic.

Neitz - just another game

Are you serious?

Neitz was awesome today. He led up and dished off perfectly. He was crucial to us winning in the last quarter. A fantastic gutsy effort. I love McLean, but as long as Neitz is in the team HE IS THE MFC!

There is only one team I like beating more than Collingwood and that is Essendon. Looking forward to round 13 already! (A win against Richmond will be handy too!)

he played quite well the entire game, except for one terrible kick across goal. that one error doesnt make it a woeful game. other than that was good skills and contributed to many goals...

I was also at the game and can remember Davey making unforced errors by foot around the middle of the ground multiple times, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't just the one error. I wouldn't label it a woeful game, but I also don't think he played quite well & just made the one noticeable error.

Bell - well rounded game

Carroll - did his job

Holland - shut down boofhead

Ward - traded bodies with davey today. Best kicking Ive ever seen from Ward.

Bizzell - decent defenders game

Johnstone - influential before injury

Bate - vice like hands

McDonald - usual reliable junior

Davey - traded bodies with ward. Worst kicking Ive ever seen from him

Bruce - crap goal shooting

Sylvia - great flankers game (how good was the shrugging opponents and running off them to drill it onto the chest of leading forwards! That passage to Bate was simply magic!)

McLean - another great game

Neitz - is captain courageous

Robertson - robbo of 05

White - average rucking game

Johnson - steadily getting better

Petterd - not as good

Frawley - looked abit lost

Green - quiet, strong mark though

Jones - continues to impress

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
