blake played a really good game
lica is the same old star week after week
johnson had a really good game down back and through the midfield
wakes played a awesome game down back
clement helped out wakes in stoping the crows in the first half when we struggled up the ground
i think shaw is on the way up he is showing some promise now his getting game time he looked good today as well
cam cloke made a contest in the guts and around the ground

we played well but jsut made way to many mistakes and thats going to kill us every game unless they find a way to improve that some time soon

Agree with most of this, but was Johnson more damaging than Roo?

Caracella & Morrison look like solid pickups to add some experience.

Rowe looks a very likely type.
 
Shane Wakelin played one of his best, if not the best, game of his career at Collingwood. He showed courage as a defender and din't look like getting beaten.

Julian Rowe stood up in and had an impact in what was his best game in his career, and showed why our expectations of the young man are so high. Ended up having almost 20 touches, and took 10 marks.

Blake Caracella supplied us with 4.4 playing Full-Forward / Forward-Pocket. Despite his inaccuracy, he may be the pick up of the year.

Benny Johnson was supurb. Put boot to ball when he got it, and ended with 34 disposals, 26 of them were kicks. Really put in the hard work.

Rhyce Shaw was another player, who has improved. Not to go on about how I have stood up for him on this board when everyone continues to say how crap he is, he shut up all those Collingwood Fans. A great performance, after having a good one on Monday.

Paul Licuria once again showed he is a work horse. Didn't stop running and found the ball 35 times and took 13 marks. Was the best on the ground due to his work ethic.

James Clement was solid in the second half and showed why he is a Copeland Trophy Winner and All-Australian.
 
Shaw is looking much improved and is turning the ball over far less than last year. Caracella looks to be the perfect guy to kick a few goals here and there and today proved that because other teams Key defenders tend to take Rocca, Tarrant, Davis leaving Caracella a threat. Johnno, Lica and Rowe also played well in my opinion.
 
Mate whats the point of rhyze shaw getting 20 odd touches when he does nothing with it. He is still a bloody dud. He cannot kick the ball, he is a shocker
 
Julian Rowe showin signs that he could be the replacement 4 Bucks and Burnsey in the midfield.

Benny Johnson proved that he CAN play in the midfield. He was superb.

Wakes and Clement were great.

Well then, you did not watch the game. Really not just kicks poor decision making in general. The one which was the worst were tarrant was open by himself no pressure at all and he puts it over his head.

Not all the kicks were turnovers but alot of them went over players heads , to short etc

Has anyone noticed our 3 top possesion getters cant kick? Licuria, Johnson and Shaw :eek:
shame they did nothing with it
 
There were just 2 positives. Cam Cloke and Julien Rowe. At least that's 1 more positive than last week.

At a stretch, Caracella looked like he will be handy, there were some solid performers down back (nothing new there though) and did I mention Cam The Man?
 
There was just one positive. Andrew Williams. The more games he plays, the closer he gets to never playing for us again.

Seriously though, the positives were there. Cam Cloke was ok, Rowe was excellent, Walker showed enough. Thats about it from the kids. Plus Trav, H Shaw Fanning and Egan for Willy, but only Trav looks anywhere near ready for senior footy.

Of the senior players, Rocca was presenting well, BJ and Licca were outstanding, and the three tall defenders failed to give their opponents an inch. And Blake. Bargain recruit of the year, on target for 50 goals!!!!
 
Yeh nice theory on Williams hotpie but not supported by historical fact unfortunately. Also not supported by the Williamstown game which was depressing.

I would have though Neon Leon was a positive - he was great for you guys when we seemed to have Rocca and tarrant under control
Neon Leon is a gun. I expect him to do that every game :)

When he gets a kick in the centre square you can say that. All game he patrolled the wings near the boundary line, he was mostly on his own running the boundry line.

We should be going long down the middle not pi$$ farting around on the flanks. That's why Tarrant led to the pockets so often and couldn't kick the goals.
 
What is wrong with TAZ ?

The bloke has amazing talent but just does not look interested. Im not sure if its the midfields fault. Tarrant leads to the pockets and u generally kik to ur key fwd and if hes leading out there - u got no hope

I also think u miss Fraser alot - He seems to straighten u up wen hes up fwd..
