Viney - was just supreme Jones - great second half T.McDonald - a commanding target Melksham - quiet until last Brayshaw - rarely evaded tagger Spargo - quiet but clever Weideman - regularly provided contests Petracca - genius and villain Neal-Bullen - had limited influence Gawn - powerful second half Hannan - was well held vandenBerg - was quieter tonight Harmes - great three quarters Salem - reliable and safe Fritsch - versatility was vital Frost - an important ingredient Hibberd - dashing and inspirational Jetta - grunt and tough Lewis - creative and safe O.McDonald - imbues great confidence Oliver - great despite tag Tyson - excellent last quarter

Just reported on SEN thatHibberd is doubtful for Friday’s game with a knee injury?‍♂️

Jones - led by example Viney - made them cry Weideman - may have arrived Neal- Bullen - tough and uncompromising T.McDonald - great first half Harmes - loved his application Gawn - imposed when necessary Hannan - one important goal Melksham - great forward pressure Salem - was all class Petracca - had limited involvement Tyson - tried and failed Brayshaw - courageous and dynamic Fritsch - was rarely sighted Frost - made a difference Hibberd - dynamic when needed Jetta - limited by injury Lewis - experience was significant O.McDonald - reliable and safe Oliver - a dynamic presence Spargo - tired and overawed vandenBerg - keep it simple

?

Jones - always in control Jetta - was rarely required Frost - confidence is everything Salem - precise and creative O. McDonald - looked a star Hibbert - loving his aggression Kennedy-Harris - tackling was impressive Oliver - classy and important Gawn - dominated all game Harmes - tough and dynamic Brayshaw - prolific and brave T. McDonald - great first quarter Petracca - always looked likely Kent - can’t take trick Tyson - will be missed Neal-Bullen - kept popping up vandenBerg - a total revelation Weidemann - was almost important Spargo - definitely showing signs Melksham - always looked dangerous Fritsch - was rarely sighted Lewis - perfect general’s game

Wow, I’m glad there are mods and rules in place to control such personal vindictiveness

For all those who are outraged by my personal opinion, I hereby resign from this thread , and thank you for revealing the error of my ways, particularly drysdale demon who’s outed me as a closet Collingwood supporter

As always , it’s not the number that are paid but where and under what circumstances they’re given

Yep, and that’s why I’ve submitted my 3 word analyses every week for 5 years?

I’m glad I’m allowed an opinion.. what a stupid statement L36

My point exactly.. and that’s what’s mind boggling considering what’s preceded it

Which part do you deem as nonsense?

Have you woken up in a bad mood? Pretty stupid response by you

I’ve watched the replay 3 times and still can’t comprehend how we were awarded frees, or at least not penalized for many blatant errors, despite the howls of abuse throughout the game from an overwhelmingly anti Melbourne crowd. The non payment of a free kick against O.Mac ,when he took on the tackler by dropping his head into an oncoming chest, was just one of many mind boggling decisions surprisingly in our favour. In my conspiracy theory, the AFL contrived a feel good story ending

I was fortunate enough to be seated next to the late Robbie Flower at the MCG about 10 years ago and was similarly astonished to see the ‘great one’ going off his head as vehemently as me?

Yes, just heard King waxing lyrical about us as only he can

6 - Gawn ( gave everyone in his vicinity an armchair ride ) 5 - Harmes ( strong , tough , talented and important) 4 - Brayshaw ( willed himself regularly into the action and is a vital part of our impressive midfield ) 3 - Oliver ( a genius ) 2 - Melksham ( an important ingredient whom we’ve sorely missed ) 1 - Salem ( great application and disposal )

Jones - willed the win Jetta - some incredible plays Frost - steady and important Hibberd - desperation was vital O. McDonald - seemingly no errors Fritsch - versatile and calm Melksham - was always dangerous Hannan - perfect opportunist’s game T.McDonald - great both ends Weideman - career best game Harmes - wonderful all game Kent - better than Garlett Brayshaw - wonderful in close VandenBerg - was important early Neal-Bullen - great grunt work Gawn - was our catalyst Lewis - slow but professional Oliver - was supreme throughout Petracca - true team game Salem - disposal was precise Spargo - out of depth Tyson - regularly slowed momentum

Swallow my pride and overlook his wastefulness during the year by describing Tyson’s game as: prolific, and valuable

111-3 Gus’s uncle Razor Ray feels sympathy for us 20 minutes into the last quarter and begrudgingly awards us 3 consecutive frees in the back line

Jones - often diabolical disposal Jetta - brave but ineffective Frost - probably broke even O.McDonald - slow but useful Salem - suspect when pressured Pedersen - had little influence T. McDonald - was disappointing again Hogan - same as Tom Garlett - seemingly didn’t care Petracca - too easily sidetracked Oliver - met his match Spargo - played schoolboy football Tyson - prolific , rarely hurt Brayshaw - continued to excel Fritsch - hit a wall Gawn - dominated , didn’t hurt Harmes - tough and tried Hunt . just a shadow Kennedy - Harris - little to enthuse Lewis - slowness often exposed Neal - Bullen - no obvious role VanDenBerg - took his chances

Forget Gawn , Oliver , Hogan, and Tom. Our most important player today is Frost.. if he holds Franklin to less than 3, we win

Jones - an outstanding game Hogan - prolific and valuable Harmes - continued great form Garlett - enjoyed the freedom Oliver - best afield again Petracca - regularly outmanoeuvred opponents Neal- Bullen - hard ball gets Spargo - did just enough Brayshaw - dynamic and creative Salem - safe and steady T.McDonald - was surprisingly limited Fritsch - continues to impress VanDenBerg - finding his feet Frost - confident and convincing Gawn - not his best Jetta - impressive when required Kennedy - Harris - a borderline pass Lewis - a standard game O.McDonald - was rarely required Smith - history repeats itself Tyson - impressive ,rarely wasteful Vince - was never assured

6 - Oliver ( possibly his best game for the club ) 5 - Gawn ( dominated the centre ) 4 - Harmes ( continued his impressive tagging role ) 3 - Petracca ( used the ball beautifully and often ) 2 - Brayshaw ( some important possessions and impressive gut running) 1 - T. McDonald ( was always a presence )

Jones - better on ball T.McDonald - had a presence Melksham - a limited impact Fritsch - versatile and smart Lewis - steady all game Garlett - just some cameos Kennedy-Harris - justified his place Neal-Bullen - run and pressure Hogan - very little involvement Harmes - wonderful tagging game Petracca - continued improved involvement Tyson - had a go Brayshaw - becoming a gun Frost - confident and important Gawn - set the tone Jetta - was rarely sighted O.McDonald - fortunately rarely required Oliver - a class above Salem - important but iffy Smith - some important touches Spargo - tried but overwhelmed Vince - just a game
