Jones - prolific not influential Vince - never stopped trying Hogan - was obviously restricted Watts - it's not basketball Petracca - a few cameos Dawes - had no impact Viney - tried but overwhelmed Trengove - had no spark Gawn - conditions nullified influence Tyson - was easily outmuscled Oliver - was rarely sighted Stretch - missing at sea Kent - probably went overboard Frost - rough but willing T.McDonald - a steady game O.McDonald - lacked footy smarts Hunt - brave and attacking Bugg - was rarely noticed Kennedy - had no impact vandenBerg- surprisingly quiet game Jetta - barely bothered scorers Wagner - tried but failed

Jones - continued outstanding form Vince - prolific and creative Hogan - well rounded game Watts - there when needed Petracca - some creative masterpieces Dawes - target we needed Viney - improved with confidence Trengove - quiet but professional Hunt - never lacked confidence Gawn - just a goliath Tyson - great first half Oliver - clever in close Stretch - didn't stand out Kent - perfect small forward Frost - confident and effective T. McDonald - was almost impassable O. McDonald - no obvious clangers Bugg - great stopping role Kennedy - rubbed it in vandenBerg - was rarely sighted Jetta - effective whenever required Wagner - close checking defender

Seriously, no Jones??

6 - Tyson ( great first half and steady afterwards) 5 - Vince ( loved the responsibility and centre stage ) 4 - Jones ( just a dynamo who literally bleeds for the club) 3 - Frost ( proving the point that he should only play down back) 2 - Bugg ( great tagging game ) 1 - Gawn ( prolific tap outs )

Jones - continuing outstanding form Vince - needed the responsibility Hogan -- was comprehensively outplayed Watts - great first half Petracca - couldn't get involved Dawes - contested without influencing Trengove - an unmemorable return Gawn - tap outs only Tyson - enjoyed more responsibility Oliver - should kick more Stretch - couldn't hurt opposition Kent - devoid of confidence Frost - strong in defence T. McDonald - terrific second half O.McDonald - gradually gaining confidence Hunt - energetic but rough Bugg -. Important tagging job Garlett - continued to disappoint vandenBerg - obviously lacked energy Jetta - steady but unobtrusive Wagner - stuck to task Harmes - needs a rest

Dunn turned up to play this year looking overweight and obviously with the wrong mindset.. it's come back to bite him on his not-indistinguishable arse

6 - Jones ( skill, heart, guts ) 5 - Gawn ( dominated the centre , but had few accomplices ) 4 - Stretch ( one of the few who took the game on ) 3 - Jetta ( read the game well ) 2 - T.McDonald (continued to try but was overwhelmed) 1 - Viney ( has dropped off but never stopped trying)

Jones - our only professional Vince - had little influence Hogan - had no support Watts - an irrelevant game Petracca - lost in flight Viney - tried but overwhelmed Hunt - exciting in bursts Gawn - couldn't find teammates Tyson - half hearted display Stretch - some positive glimpses Kent - better second half Newton - couldn't justify selection Garland - embarrassing before injury T.McDonald - loose and overburdened Neal - Bullen - plenty of nothing O.McDonald - totally lacked composure Bugg - noticed for looseness Kennedy - was probably injured Garlett - premature contract extension Jetta - courageous but loose Wagner - out of depth Harmes - was rarely noticed

Trac will be the player Sylvia should have become if he'd pulled his finger out.

Jones - clean ball user Vince - usually more creative Hogan - consistently hard worker Watts - creative and versatile Petracca - brilliant in close Viney - couldn't break free Gawn - just a shadow Oliver - creative ball user Stretch - excellent 4 quarters Kent - had little involvement Newton - took his chances Garland - better without pressure Michie - little to enthuse T. McDonald - kept opponent bereft O. McDonald - far from convincing Hunt - one exciting run Neal- Bullen - important one percenters Bugg - 3 great quarters Kennedy - needed more involvement Garlett - regularly looked dangerous Wagner - promising but flakey Harmes - took his chances

Replace 'Dawes' with 'McDonald'...just as likely

What an impressive and eloquent man he is!

Jones - frustrated and limited Vince - could rarely impose Hogan - underwhelming and disappointing Salem - little to appreciate Watts - impressive second half Petracca - lacked spatial awareness Viney - couldn't move mountains Gawn - surprisingly little impact Tyson - prolific but wasteful Oliver - looked at sea Stretch - pace and effort Garland - game has passed Pedersen - virtually no impact Michie - little to enthuse McDonald - game gradually improved Hunt - believed own hype Bugg - was rarely noticed Kennedy - tried but unconvincing Garlett - was embarrassingly absent Jetta - brave and solid Wagner - out of depth Harmes - shuddering to realty

I was a good enough junior footballer to be invited to do a pre season with StKilda under 19's, as a 16 year old ,however I lasted only 15 minutes into the first training session and requested a taxi back home.

Biff.. you were too quick for me.

6 - Gawn ( played as if he owned the field ) 5 - Jones ( 4 quarters of pure leader ) 4 - Bugg - ( I personally haven't been a huge fan previously but he convinced me against GC ) 3 - Jetta ( great application and endeavour ) 2 - Harmes ( seems to possess the complete skill pack ) 1 - Hunt ( his tentative and mistake-prone approach in previous games was replaced with pure excitement )

Jones - outstanding all game Vince - provided the class Hogan - wasn't really needed Viney - outstanding until concussed Gawn - dominated the ground Tyson - prolific but wasteful Oliver - genius in close Stretch - used speed well Kent - some classy cameos Garland - far from convincing Pedersen - successfully played role Michie - neat but tentative McDonald - better second half Hunt - attacking defensive weapon Bugg - brilliant first half Kennedy - better second half Garlett - always a presence Jetta - brave and focused Wagner - prolific but uncertain Harmes - Rising Star nominee Watts - not his best Petracca - exciting and clean

6 - Hogan 5 - Jones 4 - Viney 3 - Gawn 2 - Watts 1 - Tyson

Jones - always the warrior Hogan - our only winner Gawn - failed to dominate Viney - never left wondering Vince - was rarely sighted Kennedy - looked painfully slow Bugg - selection defies logic Petracca - some sublime touches Tyson - consistently wrong options Watts - continued impressive form McDonald - disappears when beaten Wagner - played amateur football Lumumba - was embarrassingly bad Dunn - inhibited by fatness Harmes - a poor game Garlett - couldn't find ball Salem - poor before injury Kent - probably wasn't playing Frost - not of standard Pedersen - see Dunn above Hunt - out of depth Jetta - slow and loose

Jones - playing second fiddle Viney - incredible second half Jetta - performed as required McDonald - dynamic and imprenetable Bugg - was rarely noticed Dunn - complements McDonald perfectly Lumumba - brave and effective Salem - superb with possession Gawn - supreme all game Vince - a wonderful finisher Wagner - reliable and confident Tyson - season's best performance Watts - fulfilling vital role Frost - effective third quarter Harmes - exciting when involved Kent - dangerous and creative Brayshaw - second year blues Hogan - better with space Pedersen - does just enough Hunt - cause for optimism Kennedy - some useful touches Garlett - was always dangerous

Jetta - controlled and steady McDonald - provided great presence Bugg - prolific and constructive Lumumba - played with passion Salem - not his best Harmes - loved his endeavour Oliver - probably needs rest Viney - loved his aggression Tyson - takes wrong options Gawn - a vital component N.Jones - back to best Watts - exciting and excited Frost - successfully fulfilled role M.Jones - played his part Kent - tough little bugger Kennedy - tough little bigger Hogan - exciting all game Brayshaw - was still rusty Pedersen - played within limitations Hunt - took them on Wagner - another recruiting gem Dunn - makes impressive decisions

N.Jones - not as dynamic Vince - played with desire Hogan - excelled under pressure Salem - played with purpose Watts - most frustrating footballer Viney - ferocious and dynamic Lumumba - impressive and reliable Gawn - made a statement Tyson - continues to underperform Oliver - impressive despite inexperience Dunn - held his own Stretch - some important touches Kent - great opportunist's game Frost - regularly appeared lost McDonald - reliable and steady Bugg - unsure of role Kennedy - had little impact vandenBerg - some random performances Jetta - wonderful attacking defender Wagner - out of depth Harmes - still learning role M.Jones - the better Jones

6 - Kennedy ( our only winner ) 5 - N.Jones ( tried )

N.Jones - was well held Vince - some insignificant touches Hogan - overwhelmed and disinterested Salem - was surprisingly wasteful Watts - little to commend Viney - no heroics today Lumumba - carefree and wasteful Brayshaw - was understandably rusty Gawn - very little impact Tyson - prolific but wasteful Oliver - looked uncomfortable today Kent - nothing to commend Garland - probably not playing Pedersen - nothing to commend McDonald - was systematically destroyed Bugg - was hardly sighted Kennedy - our only winner Garlett - 15 minute performance vandenBerg - loose and ineffective Jetta - was rarely noticed Harmes - out of depth M.Jones - had no impact

What a wonderful weekend for the Viney family. Apart from the extraordinary performance by young Jack in his 50th game , father Todd celebrated his 50th birthday too.
