Just read the last two pages and have no idea how any players went. Did anybody actually watch the game and is prepared to offer some insight?

On today's form and performing today's role on a wing yes, but I'd like to see him back it up for a few weeks and really demand a game.Sier has to play and faz...sick of saying it
On a side note is oxley a realistic option fir AFL?
I'm definitely not a wanna be MagpieBat. I could never dream of trying to emulate the great.
Just for the record if you're interested in live scores vfl.com.au or the VFL app is the way for you to go. Or the Collingwood Twitter if you want more info. Or follow MagpieBat on Nicks if you want the original and the best.
I'll continue to share my excitement about the VFL team in the BigFooty thread when I am able to go to a game.
Gee some people like to whinge. Thanks to everyone who posted. Not hard to know that two posts on a Blair goal from a 50 almost at the same time is the one goal.
Only problem is one post said Fasolo goaled. Hence the confusion. I sure as hell know I was. Kept going back to the VFL live scores website to see what was what.
Anyway, we snuck home. Irk who next?
Easy changes next week for Nathan.
Out Moore and Crocker.
In Blair and Smith.
Decent showing by Fas, purely looking at the stats. Surely this week is his week
And great effort to lay a tackleDecent showing by Fas, purely looking at the stats. Surely this week is his week

EDIT:
Not as dominant display as a team today and there were less standout performers. It really was a battle of quarters with one clear scoring end. I think the VFL bests (A. Gallucci, J. Blair, M. Hore, B. Mihocek, A. Oxley, S. Hetherington) are a reasonable indication although I may have squeezed Fasolo into them.
Oxley - was released onto a wing today and it was one the better games I've seen from him in recent times. As usual uses the footy very well. Deservedly in our best.
Mihocek - beaten a couple of times for height, but he stood tall when it mattered and was sound defensively. A lot cleaner today and I liked his one field instruction to young Brown and Murphy.
Jarryd Blair - never drops his head when demoted and today was no different. Is a dominant mid at this level. Nice volley goal in the second quarter and took a clutch mark jumping onto an opponent in the last quarter.
Fasolo - again didn't receive the best delivery forward, but still kicked a couple of goals. Similar to last week where he spent time up the ground and I think he was good as a high half forward, which included a couple of nice kicks inside 50. Defensive pressure good too.
McLarty - not as dominant aerially as last week, which was probably a result of higher ruck minutes. Some nice aggression though and shouldn't be too far off a debut with another solid game.
Greenwood - played at half back again where he was often the loose man, had a bit of footy albeit he appeared to still be on managed game time.
Sier - even allowing for a quarter forward where he didn't have much impact he didn't get as much outside footy today. Still very good in close though.
Murphy - more footy today with some nice disposals on the outside. Still a while off.
Wills - like Sier not much outside footy, but important inside. With his height I wonder how he would go as a defensive forward.
Brown - looked promising as a defender, at times I thought he was beaten or out of position, but with his long arms and good reading of the play he was able to either mark or impact the contest
Elliott - sat out the first came quarter, came on briefly in the second, tried to take a hanger, got injured
Madgen - one clanger comes to mind, but was ok without being dominant
Hore - backline general, important intercept marks especially in the last, more footy upfield than normal
Gallucci - his pace is a nice point of difference, but today he found himself in the right spots and was a real live wire forward
Don't all answer at once!Just read the last two pages and have no idea how any players went. Did anybody actually watch the game and is prepared to offer some insight?
Pace is the unknown, while a little quicker Macaffer done ok in 2010.Wills as a defensive option is interesting. Has the size and tackling, but is he quick enough?
Thought he might have been a chance a couple of years ago and even more so last year; at times his formed looked good enough to get a run in the seniors.Hore has to be rookie listed at years end. Too good for VFL
Wellings played through the midfield. I was impressed by his tackle stats, as it’s not normally a strength of outside players.Wellings play much inside 50? Laid 11 tackles and can slot them through
