Rd 6 player review

[PieBeast]

Haven't seen one up so thought I'll kick it off.

Pendles - best game for the year but he hasn't been as sublime as he can be for a very long time
Sidey - lowered his colours under a heavy tag (Gaff?)
Frost - had a nil all draw with Darling
Reid - had no influence on the game whatsoever, Lycett was prominent for them
Brown - got spanked
Broomy - very disappointing
Tooves - had a big ask of minding Lecca but wasn't disgraced
Maynard - very solid, especially early on
Sinkers - great game, losing him with concussion extinguished an y unlikely sniff we had
Blair - the goal was a ripper but not much else to write home about
Cox - can't believe someone that looks unco as **** can be so decent. Our only real positive from the game and looks like I'll be eating some humble pie for thinking he won't make it
Moore - quiet game with tiny glimpses of massive promise, he'll be great for us eventually
Fas - great start but was totally shut down after 1/4 time, needs to be put on the ball when this happens
Treloar - this won't be very popular but despite being in our bests for most of the year I think he's been rather underwhelming. I'm sticking with my call of him being an accumulator who doesn't exert much influence on the game. Happy to have him but we've overpaid.
Grundy - decent game but gave away way too many free kicks, refusing to take a shot just before half time wasn't his greatest moment ever
Howe - meh, just not a fan
De Goey - tried his guts out but had a poor game overall
Greenwood - keeping Pridda to 23 touches in a 10 goal belting that should have been much worse is a great job
Crispy - very serviceable, bigimprovement on anything he's shown this year
Langdon - he wasn't too bad actually but doesn't play with freedom he used to
Smith - few turnovers but improved as the game went on, might be an accumulator but signs are promising for someone just of the rookie list

Treloar as an accumulator is an interesting idea, he isn't really breaking lines etc. like the game-busting mid we anticipate he'd be.

FMD, think this is a well balanced & accurate appraisal.

Agree totally on Treloar. And generally agree on all these, maybe less impressed with Greenwood's job and thought Tooves was generally badly beaten.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Toovey wasn't disgraced?

LeCras was given best on by a few outlets.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Very kind to Frost, though I will admit he was much better after half time.

 

[Greening Magic]

Pretty spot on, I think Treloar has been carrying a huge load since Round 1.
Limited pre season, missing Swan, Sidey for 2, Pendles off half back, and now Adams puts much of the load onto him.
With more assistance I think we'll see more outside run from him, but thank god he's there.

IMO he wasn't given the enormity of the task and the amount of inside 50's they had.

Very kind to Frost, though I will admit he was much better after half time.

Look, I don't rate Frost very highly and think the game has moved on from having pure shut down defenders that aren't good at anything else but thought he did a reasonable job on Darling today.

 

[Axl the great]

Agree on Treloar, too many times he goes the hack out of a pack and seems to be a better player with time and space rather than in congestion.
Have to disagree on Toovey though LeCras was best on ground and tore us a new one.

Disagree, Shuey's neck was a clear best on.

As long as he's not snorting lines.

Seriously I didn't see him get much room today but has broken through for us a fair bit. Think it's a harsh call.

 

[Axl the great]

Disagree, Shuey's neck was a clear best on.

The guy is a thief and a serial ducker and I hate him for it, Yet the umpires still reward him every week.
It's wrong because when Leon Davis used to handball or tap the footy just before a tackle and get held on to they paid it for a while then stopped and even came out and said "He is a serial offender for this and we won't be paying it anymore"

I shit you not!

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

Reasonable wrap, but Sinclair great game? Admittedly been knocked around recently, but geez setting the bar low there. Has he ever really had a great game? Seems to avoid scrutiny a lot these days, yet does very little.

Sinclair was very good at the ground, our best defender and covered the arses of Reid, Frost and Landon in particular multiple times.
