Takes from the game

+ Gaff was brilliant anyone says that he is not an elite mid is clearly mad (champion data did) are nuts. His gut running was fir class

+ Dom Sheed - Brilliant again has the ball on a string

+ Gov, Hurn, Barras, Shep = No words required they are just impassable

+ Liam Ryan - His forward craft has to be seen to be believed, clever taps, the marks, the pace

+ Forward Line – 12 goals from JK, Darling, Oscar, Ryan, Petraceule & Cripps excellent. Rioli is the final piece of the puzzle.

+ Lewis Jetta – His kicking was WOW




-Decision making was a bit sloppy at times, that can be fixed
- Darling was well beaten

Gaff getting the most possessions was way too predictable, need to mix it up with a few low possession games if we really want to beat current premiership favourites *checks* Collingwood?! Still?!
Melbourne are the favorites dont you know Champion data rated them the best list in the AFL
 
+ Rotham was outstanding for a first gamer. Didnt make any mistakes, played within the structure and showed good instincts and skills. Looks like Schofield.

+ Gaffy still shaking off rust but amassing a bunch of possies. Adds another dimension to a premiership midfield

+ JJK coming back into form

+ Gotta eat crow on Petch. I wasnt confident, buts hea proved me wrong. The more we get him hitting the packs at speed, the better.

+ Liam Ryan was magical.

+ Sheed and Gaff show they can coexist

+ I could type another 1000 words on the positives


Negatives

Rotham what a great debut in a big game in front of 70k fans
Showed great composure good kicking skills and defended very very well

Liam Ryan pressure was amazing all the chasing he did doesnt get noticed a lot
but that was his best defensive game for the club

Petch really gave us a point of difference, he is starting to believe

Sheppard and Gaff where awesome
 
My positive for the night was seeing that spud Maynard on the losing side again.

After his protestations in the grand final last year claiming that Sheed played on.

It was delightful to watch tonight's game where he took a mark on the wing, played on, stopped and back tracked to the protests of a West Coast player (can't remember who it was).

It is a two way street, you campaigner Maynard.

+ I thought Rotham looked terrific and slotted in well. Didn't looked overawed on the big stage and had no problems with the pace of the game. He's a keeper.

Positives

Most players contributed.
Gaff was excellent
Jetta has become the new wirrapunda - so cool and collected down back.
Cripps was fantastic
Sheed was great
Hurn barrass and McGovern played their usual reliable selves
Oscar Allen is going to be a gun
Ryan was class.
Did I miss anyone?
Another win at the mcg.

Negatives
Darling was quiet - frustrating.
The commentators. Can they be a bit less Victorian.
 
+ Dom Sheed: Going back to round 21 last year where he had 22 disposals, he hasn't had a game under 27 disposals since then and only twice since then has he failed to kick a goal in a game. A Lazy 24 and three goals tonight. Lawdy Lawdy :fire:
