102.4 % looking better.
Vlastuin the standout for me, then throw a blanket over Baker, Lambert, Prestia, Ross, Ellis, Houli. Two of them going to have to miss my votes though.
But every second highlight we see for the rest of the week until next round will be either Sydney Stack's mark or Sydney Stack's hit. I prefer the hit.
Can't believe I used to think Nafan Jones was exactly the player we needed. What a try-hard softcock. And Viney is just as bad.
I love Nank like I love Maric. But Maric used to get mauled by Sandilands and other tall ruckman and I didn't mind Hampson offering support against them.
Wondering whether Soldo has more height and should be considered against rucks like Gawn?
Backline solid. As good as its been Ranceless I reckon.
The Lynch/Riewoldt/Caddy forward line wasn't over-convincing but give it time. George is frustrating but somehow gets himself into the right positions and offers something a bit different.
Midfield is probably the area that Melbourne looked better on paper, but Ross, Prestia, Lambert, Baker, Ellis, Higgins all matched and then overran them.
I love watching K-Mac. Never predictable. Mind-******* one moment, brilliant the next.
Edwards, Rioli, Caddy, Lynch not at their best. Rioli probably the biggest concern with a run of ordinary form.
Dusty did a few nice things, but their were some moments were I thought he looked weak and lazy. He is still a handy player on his off games though.
Balta..... Useful as a second ruck, has some exciting moments, but basically carried in the team at the moment. That's OK as long as we can afford it and its helping his development but I expect him back in the VFL at some stage, hopefully as a direct CCJ swap for a decent block then swap them back again.
Astbury hopefully OK, otherwise Garth or even MIller time.
Riewoldt may be a concern? Bring back the unfortunate Bolton.
I'm enjoying my footy this year.
