Quote:Play of the night was Weitering attack on the ball with May crashing through......thats the old Weitering back in town who impressed in his first season, worth more than 30 possies that piece of play, as I said earlier thats what wins big games and tells the opposition you mean business...well done JW. Indeed, hope the lad's ok but that sort of selfless act sets a tone and sends a message.....well done Jacob
re: Polson.....not convinced and only had a few possies tonight but his team mates seem to like him so I'll refrain from critiquing his game on such a good winning evening..still young, but a very poor man's Murphy in my book....happy to be provn wrong
SPS...probably his best game in terms of impact and ball use.... looked a lot more interested last night....silky skills, still think he'll be an elite players if he wants it bad enough
Agree on Harry..not big numbers but looks the goods and has good skills for a big bloke, begs the question why he wasnt played earlier..... he must have had attitude issues cos the kid can surely play....
Marchbank.....one of his best games IMO, low on errors and was solid and reliable.....yes, but needs to hang onto the marks and not fly against 2 team mates...
Byrne..yep, showed same dash and we looked better with him down back than we have with Mullett, Shaw, OShea down there...confirmed he can and should be a valuable member of our best 22, great return to senior footy
Lobbe....been good IMO....Witts murdered us in the hitouts with 60 but then you look at Lobbe and he had 46?......thats a far nights work and he has that extra bulk that MK and Philips dont seem to have and he really suits our midfield IMO..yes, negated Witts which is something Kreuz has repeatedly failed to do
Dow was good and had some Judd like moments, like mids who kick goals and he has that burst of pace we lack....promising signs but need more across he 4 quarters
Kennedy...workmanlike....better than workmanlike, was covering the ground much better and knows how to let an opponent know he's there....
Pickett..unsighted needs to be put on the ball more - get him involved
Lamb....ok but not really a fan...prefer him forward but a pretty smarty footballer
Obrien..ok early but faded...remain to be convinced why we took him at 10
Jack...good team-man is Jack..not many would have seen but he laid a few blocks for Cripps on Lonergan and I paid more attention to that than his possies....handy game.yep, solid hit out for Jack....
Lang...used the ball well and seemed to have more time than some of the other players...showed he's a classy player....need a more consistent output but like many a very interrupted season...
Finals, then 4 in a row!
