Phew, it was a bit scarey. The cats played really well and won most of the centre clearances, but at the end we got the 4 points.

5. Chick
4. Fletcher
3. Gardiner
2. Matera
1. Banfield

We're really missing the Dash from Wirrpunda from the backline and the hardness of Kerr in the middle. I hope they're back next week.

That's your opinion cheesecake, i thought he sparked us when we needed it, and gave class to a game that at times was scrappy, he had almost 20 possies and kicked a vital goal.

Most players had periods when they looked good and others when they looked tired. I guess two away games and a derby combined with a warm and humid day took it's toll.

5: Fletcher - Played really well in the middle, and even got a few kicks with his right leg :eek:
4: Chick - Loved his intensity, real class act. Worth the #8 draft pick we gave up
3: Embley - Solid all day
2: Judd - Lifted in final qtr when the game was there to be won
1: Milli - Did really well in defence, i can't believe i wanted him to retire end of last season

Carn the eagles!

5. Chick- Came through great guns in the final quarter, did a huge amount of hard work. His leadership is unbelievable.
4. Fletcher- Another huge game from him- back to second place on the AFL total disposals rankings.
3.Embley- Ran till he dropped, took a blinder of a mark, set up a couple of goals.
2.Jakovich- masterful effort at CHF. Seems to love having the freedom to go find the ball, and have a defender worry about him for a change- about the only CHB in the league who might have the strength to match up on Jako would be, well, Jako.
1.Green- Strong in defence, two crunch time goals when the game was on the line


Apologies to Milli, Sampi, the Juddster and Gardie. Would also have loved to give Trent Carroll votes, on the basis that he played one of his rare 'did not suck' games.

sorry mate, I couldn't let this one slip. we're all mates here and we all have a common aim - to see the Eagles get to the top.

Some people have their own opinions and you've gotta let them have it, but when they don't share your opinion, don't get all defensive like that.

as for my votes, i'll do them when i see the game.

5. Fletcher - IMO was the only 4 quarter performance in front of CHB.
4. McIntosh - led a beseiged backline with a strong performance
3. Carroll* - made a couple of mistakes but held it together well under intense pressure
2. Chick - Was the urgent spark we needed to get on top. Superb last quarter
1. Banfield - Pretty good performance all round given the pressure.

IMO our backline won the game for us. With the midfield being thumped, the pressure down back was immense, and a few mistakes from any backman can be excused given how many times the ball came their way.

Kasey Green probably deserved a vote, and Judd's last quarter was brilliant (Chick's was better though). Embley was also solid all day. Thought Adkins looked dangerous as well until he went off, and you can't get votes for a cameo...



*There you go Mead - Carroll got some votes at least. I would at this point like to mention that these votes have nothing to do with Carroll being my "adopted player" for the year

5. Fletcher - Excellent game - best midfielder by a mile

4. Milli - I hope he marries soon and has lots of sons! We would have been in big trouble the last two weeks without Ash.

3. Jako - Great game whether forward or back. Inspirational leader

2. Chicky - Another great game from my new favourite player. His last quarter was one of the reasons we lifted.

1. Green - Kasey has come of age. Played strongly in the backline and kicked two terrific goals on the last quarter. I must admit I ws not too confident when he took the kicks!

Did you go to the game? Judd was poor - his opponent Joel Corey was one of if not Geelong's best. Eagles' suppporters seem to think Judd is so damn good - don't get me wrong he has been playing pretty well lately and for a second year player he is doing superb - but his game yesterday was poor and he showed no respect to his opponent - who well and truly beat him.
