Votes against Bombers

[Jaymeee]

5 - Moore
4 - MOL
3 - Playfair
2 - Barry
1 - Jolly

Goodes, Kirk, and Bevan unlucky to miss out on the votes.
Jolly would have been higher had he made the most of his opportunities in front of goals.

[is2SWaNz]

5. Moore - He's getting better and better
4. Playfair - Worked well in the forward line; strong marker.
3. Jolly - 3 goals, not bad.
2. MOL - A better forward that 2 weeks ago.
1. Ablett - Did the little things right today

Honorable mentions to everyone. Don't think anyone played that badly. Kudos to Jarrad McVeigh as well.

[grimlock]

5 - Kirk. The captain at his best, in and under, Essendon didn't have an equal.
4 - Micky O. 6 straight, I can't believe my eyes. Keep it up!
3 - Jolly. Great game from the big man. Bonus points for hitting the roof.
2 - Mattner. Held Jetta to zilch, was worried about that matchup and penetrating from the back once Kennelly went of.
1 - ROK. Gave Slattery a thrashing. Just kick straighter next time!

LOL, yeah Jeffers that was us. They were compensating for my loss of voice, but I cheered a little.
Did anyone else see/hear us ?

[is2SWaNz]

Yes!! Jeffers, that was us! HAHA!!!

[Costanza_]

5. Moore - Was blown away by his game today, fantastic to see a kid spring a game like that.
4. O'Loughlin
3. Mattner
2. Goodes
1. Jolly

Special mention to Playfair who led very well all day and put a couple of important ones through (horrid miss in the 1stQ notwithstanding).

[bradmanstandguy]

1 MOL
2 Moore
3 Leo
4 Jolly
5 Playfair

For me today,Mickey o, and Leapin,really turned back the clock,shit even
Leapin got a goal. Moore just gets better and better. Jolly has improved
since he shaved his head? And Playfair seems to have come come to grips
with his role in the team,apart from his kicking.Although his teammates have
nothing to crow about in that area. Kirky did his usual in and under toughness
and constantly showed leadership. I have serious worries about Jude Bolton,
is it just me or his he in a form slump?

Where were u sitting???

[natlovestheswans]

Where were u sitting???

Um.. dunno how to explain our location.. You know the end that we kicked to in the last quarter? We were in the left pocket of those goals, standing against the rails in the first row.

[ssfc0203]

Where were u sitting???
Couple of bays away from the Dons cheersquad, and two or three away from the Premium seating on the wings opposite from where the players come out.

You know .. where the padding started.

[TripleB]

Um.. dunno how to explain our location.. You know the end that we kicked to in the last quarter? We were in the left pocket of those goals, standing against the rails in the first row.

In that case, you weren't the only ones cheering for him.

I strongly suspect a group of around 15 in Aisle 125 were from his family. At least one of the group, an attractive girl who looked in her early 20's had #44 on the back of her Swans jumper. A male in his 50's was calling him son and they were beside themselves when he made that great smother in the first quarter which led to a goal after being on the field less than 2 minutes.

They looked very proud, rightly so. :thumbsu:

Yeah, that would have been his family/friends. He told us that they were coming to watch him aswell.

Haha, but after the game he waved to us, not them.. lmao.

[SOPH_CROSS]

Yeah that would have been his family he told me they were coming out
and the girl with 44 would be Julia his girlfriend thats so sweet that she has his number

WELL DONE JAKE!

unlucky: Moore

we (essendon) are in tank mode :D

[Hooley McBoob]

5. Moore, ripper of a game
4. MOL
3. Playfair, he's repaying my faith...slowly
2. Barry! A goal, woo!
1. Mattner

Apologies to Buchanan.

I didn't see much of Craig today, v. sad :(

[Tuco]

5. Kirk - by a mile for mind. His best game of the year. Had a hand in about 10 goals with 3 direct assists; 29 possessions, 12 contested, and none of them cheap. Phenomenal effort.
4. MOL - Worked so hard. And his 6 goals was his best ever return against the bombers.
3. Goodes. 27 touches with 6 contested possesions. Coming along very nicely now.
2. ROK - kicked as many goals as points? Season on baby!
1. Leo. Had to give someone up back a nod. And 21 possies and goal has to be worth a point.

Mentions: Playfair and Spida showed us something after slow debuts this year, and Moore and Amon were all over them like a bad rash.

A lot of people seem to be giving Moore the 5 points? Just curious as to whether you all rated his output better than that of Kirk or MOL? Or are you grading by his own standards (eg. giving him extra points for improvement)?

[J-swan]

I found it very hard to split Moore & Kirk. I thought they were both fantastic but in the end I gave my 5 pts to Moore because I thought his work up forward contributed a touch more to the final result.

[rancidpants13]

i would definitely rate moore over micky o
yes, o'loughlin kicked six goals and did work up the ground a bit, but moore showed remarkable composure all over the ground, i thought he was outstanding
but i can't believe jolly's been pushed down or even out of the points
i thought he was our best, although i agree kirk was terrific, but when he is he not?

5) jolly
4) moore
3) kirk
2) barry (i reckon probly his best game in 2-3 years)
1) micky o

i've had to put o'loughlin in for the six goals, but craig bird was close, i know his kicking is still a bit iffy but he slipped away some quality handballs yesterday, and like moore and jack is just so strong on his feet, and a super tackler
and what about bevan's front-on tackle of monfries, there's no doubt bevan's one of the best one-on-one tacklers in the league
also, ROK, ted and ablett were very good
bedford, i am starting to agree more and more on ablett, he does a lot of work in and under, and mattner is making less mistakes and getting more sure of himself every game

[Tuco]

After watching the game again on replay, I'd say the landslide in favour of Moore this week is a little generous. Amon actually outshone him in the second half, and I couldn't find a point for him either. Don't get me wrong, Moore was very good. But who wasn't against that rabble?

[Ed_Gein]

I'm with Tuco.

Kirk stood out like a sore thumb. Was at it all day and was at his best.

I'm rubbish with giving votes, but i'll give it a go;

5 - Kirk
4 - Jolly
3 - MO'L
2 - Goodes
1 - Barry

the middle 3 could have went either way, i gave Goodes 2 cause he played as we expect him to, but i thought Jolly was pretty damaging up forward and played well and what can you say about Magic? 6.0. Great day out up forward.

Moore was great, but i'm not sure why many of you gave him best afield. Each to their own though. :) And in saying that i was almost tempted to give Bevan 1 vote due to his tackling and pressure skills. Was terrific too. O'Keefe and Playfair unlucky to miss out.

Bradmanstandguy, read the rules. I'm not including your votes.

And bigswan, please put in the numbers.

[EatBig Australia]

5. Micky O - Can't ask for more than 6 straight.
4. Kirk - Kirkish as usual.
3. Moore - Awesome.
2. Jolly - 3 Goals and 25 hitouts.
1. Goodes - Worked hard all day.

Other mentions to Bird who had 8 hard ball gets, Leo and O'Keefe.

When I've seen games live I like to vote without looking at the stats, and go on gut feeling and who grabbed my attention. Because Moore is new and doesn't have the same expectation of continuous quality (like Kirk or Goodes), when he bobbed up I noticed it more than some of the established stars. You're right though, probably not best on ground, but impressed me the most on the day.

Nice name btw mate, can I come over and look at your human-skin lampshade? :)

I saw that poster on TV, good one.

Really? U sure it wasnt the "GIMME MOORE" one

[mitch820]

Really? U sure it wasnt the "GIMME MOORE" one

Sorry, I think it was.
Now I feel like an Idiot.

[SOPH_CROSS]

Sorry, I think it was.
Now I feel like an Idiot.

ha ha thats ok i thought it would have been that one

[Dunkley]

Mickey O was good, but if he would do that against a slightly better opposition i would rate him even more.

[grimlock]

Just finished watching the replay, Moore was more prominent than I thought while watching the game live.

After watching the replay of the match I think Goodes is very unlucky to only tally 11 votes.

Yeah, he is, but once again a victim of his own standards .. see what's happening to Jimmy Bartel down at the Cats already.

[MalceskiFan]

Yeah, he is, but once again a victim of his own standards

He is indeed. The $26 listed for him in the brownlow odds is tempting. I suspect he's probably on around 9 votes already and always seems to poll well.

[J-swan]

I was only thinking about this yesterday when I watched the replay and was wondering if he'll make the charge like he did last year. I thought he would only have about 4 vote at the moment though.
