Nothing like a bit of tagging to take the No 1 opposition player out of the game.....and play to your own players strengths.

I'll watch the replay before I vote, but at the moment Ed would be in my top three with Weiters and Cripps.
Some will tell me I should have Walsh in there, but Walsh doesn't get to play freely like he did today without Ed doing the job he did in the midfield!
Gibbons best game?

I'd love for this to transpire. Really can't cop Scott as our next coach, but that's for another thread.

Just about to mention Gibbons - looked excellent today - a SOS win?

Gibbons hasnt been too bad in most of his games IMO, agree with your top 3 too....

Yes I would agree but Sam Walsh was very close.

Weitering is starting to control a game like a Number 1 draft pick. Dow will make it. The way he stood his ground is a couple of marking contests was great. Give him another 50 games and 5-6 kgs and he’ll repay. Ditto O’Brien, not there yet but a couple of passages of play gave me hope.

First 30+ game for Walsh
First of many.

Hipwood and others have got hold of us in the past, and questions have been asked about Weiters ability to go with them on the lead, looked OK today!
But still big issues, not enough ground support in D50, too many guarding grass or their own reputations. Hopefully Teague can eventually get hold of this because so far none of the coaches have changed that behaviour. Having said that, for D50 Amos has been our best performed line coach.
I worry that a game from Cripps like today's game just wallpapers over the midfield issues!
Charlie finally showing some semi-reasonable form, was today the turning of the corner?
