[Boy from the West]

actually big mal is one of the fastest on the lead in the AFL for his size

if the unit was on the lead then Fletcher was dropping into the space

My point is this. With the big fella just standing in the square it makes our forward line stagnant.

Watch the tape and see how many times after the first quarter we just bombed forward. When there was alead we got it to a loose player close enough to goal to score. When we didn't we kicked points from distance.

We lapsed into becoming stationary deep in attack and allowing those rats to gang up on us.

Sometimes forwards have to keep leading and keep leading as a sacrifical act to open us space for team mates. I think that he forgot the team things. He is one of my favourites but cops a whack for tonight.

I'm not getting off us. We will win the flag but we we were sub standard tonight (apart from that scintillating opening).

We need the rest. The boys have been huge with the off field stuff, media hysteria and injury issues. The problem is we strive for perfection and when we come up short, those who aren't good enough get exposed.

Hank you can't be serious having a crack at Kerr.

Fletch was bad tonight. Sorry if you are related but he didn't perform when he was needed most.

Tell me something that kerr did that was of any effectiveness. look at 3 of his last 4 games and i can be serious haviing a crack at him. And was fletcher seriously that bad for the amount of time on the ground? Cant just target him when braun and kerr arent doing much

Hank. Hank. I put it to the fellow posters - Kerr or Fletcher.

Kerr every time and twice on Sundays.

 

[hank_Bulger99]

Did i say that anytime? no

i just said fletcher will cop it all while others who were just as bad if not worse will not get anything said about em

Apart from the fact that Kerr has a tag every game and Fletcher runs around as an outside receiver?

Really Fletcher only has to receive the ball and not stuff up the pass to the next player, how hard is it? Fletchers disposal is often below par, even worse when he cant get onto his left.

The reason Fletch cops it is because this is becoming the norm for him. Players like Kerr and Braun do have down games but they have some pearlers too and that makes up for it!

Didn't have one four quarter player this week which made the votes hard.

Time to freshen up over the break and look forward to the possible return of a few handy players (Embley, Nicoski, Waters, Hansen and a little known fella by the name of Cousins - heard he goes alright sometimes)

How is Bones in the votes. He was killed. Must of lost about 6 contests in the forward 50. Cox was even worse. Absolutely smashed by Hille. Kerr + Braun were also pathetic and a bit gutless.

 

[wozzie]

The difference between the 2 teams was one player James Hird. BOG by a mile, he was and is fantastic. He also sets up so many of their plays and is a complete team player. Having said that:
Staker: Best game I've seen him play, both ends of the ground.
Stenglein and Priddis: Can't separate, both playing tagging run with roles and still attacking strongly. Real team men.
Rosa: One of his better games, got in and got dirty, well done.
Bones: Not one of his best, made a few errors, but been so good all year and a lot of pressure back there. He'll rebound.

[Embers]

Bewildered by the Bones love in even by the commentators. His worst game of the year. Maybe the worst of his career. Outmarked and embarassed by every opponent he had all night. Sure he got the ball and run out of defense but it means nothing when you conceede 6 down the other end. Thats the difference between Nicoski and Brett Jones really.

same with the Hawthorn game

very very poor, most of the goals came from Bones errors

Umpires get all the votes.

You guys should be absolutely filthy with the ride Essendon got in the final quarter.

did you even watch the last game? im not saying essendon got the bad deal but their were plently of free kicks that should have gone our way aswell towards the end of the match... lucas was being held too at every opportunity like kerr and judd. there was like 5 holding the ball free kicks that i can think of that should have gone our way....

the umpiring fell even tonight so dont say that crap about essendon were given victory from the umpires again. thats happened pretty much every time essendon win a match...

Huzzah. No Bones

 

[Mighty Eagles]

Several players are having a very ordinary season. Hunter, Glass and Lynch are out of form, as is one of my favourites David Wirrapunda who they are playing the forward line to find some confindence. At best we are the best side in the comp, but at worst we(the reining premiers) loose to developing sides, who are 2/3 years behind producing the football we do. Some players aren't standing up to keep their spots. Coxy was beaten last night for the first time in years.

Stenglein, Bones, Braun and Selwood are having a very good year. The break will be handy as we look to have Cousins, Embley, Butler, Nicoski and Graham in the mix. And if Sampi is playing good footy he'l be up for selection.

Until then, Go the MIGHTY EAGLES!

Can't believe people are rating Stinger's game so highly. He was playing on Hird and couldn't do anything to stop him in the second half.

My votes

5. Staker (best game ive seen him play)
4. Priddis (faded out a bit at times but his disposal under pressure was of a good standard)
3. Judd (kicked an important goal, decent game even though clearly suffering from injury)
2. Glass (honours even between him and Lloyd IMO)
1. Cox (Hille got the better of him in second half, still a decent game though)
