I think that told us the truth about where we sit in the pecking order. We've now lost comfortably at home to 3 top 4 sides in Brisbane, St Kilda and Essendon.
Anyhow onto best players, as few as there were:
BOG
5 - Carey - His effort was superb and showed his class. He must have felt like the Lone Ranger up forward - kicked half of our goals.
4 - Ricciuto - The heart and soul of the team and why is it that so few follow his example.
3 - Begley - Terrific effort in defence, is getting better evry week.
2 - McLeod - While he was a bit patchy, he had some very good moments
1 - Bassett - I thought he fought his guts out, and although Lloyd got 4, he had to with the dominance Essendon held.
BTM
3 - Carey - See above.
2 - Ricciuto - See above.

ok, my second post and you wont believe what Im about to say.... I wouldnt blame you for thinking this is a trolling effort as its my second post on BF....
The King is far from done, he has felt this kind of game coming for a while... your in for some exciting times, he has no intention of hanging the boots up and is elated with the way his body is feeling atm... having said that... not 14 days ago the "R" word was very close to being a reality.
now if everyone else could just pull their sh*t togethor the 8 isnt out of the equation, and from there....
doubters take your best shot... but from someone close to the camp (having just left it at 2:30am lol), the enthusiasm is back, and the body is finally right... the king is ready to rule again, he is far from dead LONG LIVE THE KING!

I didn't post much after last week, because I knew that emotion overides proper player assessments, and players become better than in fact what they are.
A week is long time in footy - back to reality ah!
Macca, good to see a really good assessment of the game. Agree completely with your votes, even Hentschell, who is still going to have up & down games.
Not embaressed to be beaten by a better side - we just need to be making good decisions on delisting and trades ( as I suppose we do each year)

No he needs to start grabbing the ball in two hands rather than scooping, it in one handed ( or should I say trying to scoop).
Its junior grade stuff, which he has to realise doesn't cut it at AFL level.

Yeah, he would usually grab most marks with Westies.
His hands last night arent normally the way they are. He's usually a pretty handy mark.

They should be saying; "Go team!"
I have been captain of a sports side and you dont go far by shouting out negative comments to your players. You need to encourage, beef up their confidence and then they will play more confident and actually might win.
Hoping not to get barraged by some people for this comment but after experiancing the Port crowds and the Crows crowds, I think every supporter that sits backs and watch needs to have a good hard look at themselves...maybe even go visit the stadium on a Port match day...see, no HEAR the difference! Many red coats I have spoken to have commented about how loud the Port fans are to Crows crowds, and yet Port have dramatically less crowds.
Crows fans PLEASE find your voices next home match, and not your negative voices, POSITIVE voices!:)

To quote your great self ' Amen, sister, AMEN!'
And i had my reasons last night as to why I didnt participate in the 'action' so to speak. I have the flu so when I attempt yelling my throat clams up and I can't breathe. That and Asthma.
But for the rest of the crowd there's no excuse. What is even worse is that we get quieter as the margin grows bigger :mad:
Add another comparison to port supporter. A lot of crows supporters are much older and therefore think that cheering is some terrible cult action which therefore makes them a bunch of Crankers (refer Crown and Anchor-ians) :rolleyes:

How about some team work from Burton to let him know that he was about to be tackled. If thats the criteria that you are not allowed to be caught once in a while them Mark Ricciuto and anyone else for that matter should be dropped.

Great post Angel Eyes and RaDaR ReiLLy couldn't agree more
What i have always found so facinating is, you watch us play in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane or Perth or even at against the Power , 4 or 5000 people make more noise than the 45,000 + there for a sell out home game. I really fail to comprehend what is difficult to understand about supporting your side wether they are 5 goals down or 5 goals up.
That said to the idiotic "crow fans" i encountered at the players race at half time last night... spitting and trying to grab at players and general abuse isnt a real good way to get your point across, especially whan you consider that there were children in that area!!! Well in Melbourne for the Collingwood game onlly hope the few thousand there can once again show our home supporters how to support. :p

I agree 100%. Its not a good thing for the players either. They dont need to hear it and they wouldve been feeling bad enough. The club is supposed to pride itself on having the home ground advantage- certainly no advantage if our own supporters start turning on the playing group. :mad:

Player of the year
5. Carey - Really tried hard. His best game yet for the Crows and showed he can play against the Dons without doing a knee. ;) Very happy with his game, one of very few that can say 'I had a go.'
4. Begley - Disposed extremely well of the ball, played very well in the back line, and beginning to prove his early - draft potential.
3. Basset - Played really well in my opinion. Always gave a contest, and has the better of Llyod for the game. Put his body on the line and made good decisions.
2. Riccuito - Definitely not his best game, but still cleared the ball well and added some drive in the center.
1. Ladhams - Worked well in the midfield, I was very happy with his effort until his "snap" about 100 metres into the air. :rolleyes: Still tried hard though.
Best Team Man
3. Carey - Contested well, set up great play, spoiled well on occasions, pushed to the ball, and kicked 6 goals. Great effort.
2. Basset - see above.
1. Begley - see above.
Rookie of the year
Hentschel - Had the number on Scott Lucas in the first half. Faded out at times but still contested and worked hard. Also kicked a goal. Not his best effort, but still very acceptable.
Bock is also heading on the right track.
Oh, and I have to ask, did Scott Stevens even get a possession?
And Perrie must get dropped! The Pez Dispenser's brain is not functioning right now.

The poor little girl! :( I hope she changes her mind.
The fact that those supporters go and shout abuse at the players is nothing but a "feral" act. And some people call the Port mob this, I think some people are heavily mistaken! :mad:

Well I just dont appreciate people calling the Port supporters "feral" when most are the total opposite. Friendly banter is one thing, disrespect for other people when some times their own backyard is the same, is unacceptable. I have family members and many friends who support the Power, and they are no way in one bit of detail "feral". The fact that people generalise their supporter group as "ferals" astounds me as I do not believe they should not be all considered to be "feral".
Saying all that the quoted post was not in reference to you it was in reference to the people that shouted obscene words towards the players as they walked into the changerooms to, re-group. Those people should have their membership revoked!
And that's my 2 cents. :o

no it was just my attempt at humour;) sorry if i offended you
BTW since I was 12 years old (over 25 years ago) and in the bays cheer squad I’ve / we’ve called port "the ferals", it's not that they really are it's more of a term or endearment;)

Arrrrrhhhh, what an aweful performance. Lack of manning up & accountability when they had control of the ball. Was a repeat of the Brisbane game... :mad:
BOG
5. Carey - easily & our only forward
...
big gap

4. Begley - looks to have found consistency in the backline
3. Ricciuto - best midfielder & still tried his guts out
2. Bassett - fought hard against Lloyd
1. McLeod - coz really struggling to find anyone else

Team Man
3 - Bassett - he's is the epitomy of team man and often leaves his own man to help out a team mate. Sure he got caught once by Lloyd but he stoped several other goals that way.
2 - Carey
1 - Roo
Rookie
Hentschell - had a pretty good game with the one mistake but getting caught by Hird is no bid deal
Note - Whoever voted for Ladhams must have been watching a different game to me. He is a passenger and completely unaccountable. Tim Notthing in the Brisbane game and now Dean Solomon in this game embarrassed him
Speaking of embarraising - how bad was Burton. Lets hope he forgets about that quickly and has some kicking practice this week.
What a disaster:

I tend to agree, Ladhams was very ordinary on Friday night. I still think he can play though.
"Tim Notthing" - was that deliberate or just a Freudian slip?
