It was an interesting game with lots of loose checking which we would have without doubt lost last year, but I take some real satisfaction out of the fact that we are winning the ugly ones.
Stafford was without doubt IMO BOG! He had a great game and was a real handful up forward.
Richardson had the best game I've seen him play this year! He has become very team oriented and anything close to a marking opportunity was grabbed. Also his set shots were much improved on past performances this year.
Tivendale had a solid game, gave us plenty of drive forward when needed but was a little inconsistent at times on the night
Flemming sure has ticker but his disposal and decision making needs to improve. Look for better next week as we'll need plenty of runners at Subiaco.
Pettifer kicked a vital goal but looked like a frightened school kid when he was in that tussle with I think it was Ward. Needs to toughen up and go harder at the ball. Needs a spell at coburg
Cameron like Tivendale gave us plenty of drive and crumbed some excellent goals. Another solid effort and led by experience.
Rogers performed his task well on the night by keeping Yze out of the game but his disposal at the moment really needs improving.
King had limited opportunities on the night but was always there trying to get the ball.
Bowden had a better game than last week and his disposal improved but I still feel he has more class in him than he's providing at the moment. Needs to be more consistent but a pretty good effort on the night.
Biddiscombe looked lost out there. Down on last weeks performance and looked really shaky out there. He needs to receive the ball in space to be effective as he is not the best in close contests.
Coughlan had a solid game and got plenty of the ball but was a little down on previous performances and his disposal was a little bit sloppy. He was closesly tagged all night which could explain this. He looks better when Campbo's on the field.
Johnson played well and got the ball at important moments of the game. A bit down on his usual posession rate but was still influential.
Gaspar played really well on Neitz restricting him to just 6 posessions. Pretty good considering how often Melbourne went to him.
Hilton had a below average game. Couldn't keep his feet and looked frustrated. I know he can do much better but needs a spell at Coburg to sort things out.
Fiora played pretty well with limmited opportunities but still needs to improve his decision making. Needs to think a couple of moves ahead instead of taking off and then not knowing where his options are.
Kellaway was not up to his previous good performances and had a couple of brain explosions at vital moments but still was solid.
Vardy contested well without being fantastic. Despite being undersized he still got plent of tap outs with a good leap.
Zantuck had his best game so far this year. Was hard at it, got plenty of posessions and his disposal on the night was very good.
Rodan was a bit quiet but kicked a good crumbing goal and was always thereabouts. Not his usual flashy self but the game didn't allow that type of play anyway.
Krakouer was very quiet compared to last weeks performance but He was closely marked and did a couple of things in the game that showed a lot of guts.
Attitude was right but the opportunities weren't there.
Chaffey had his usual solid game. Was a step ladder on a couple of occasions but that sometimes happens when you're courageous enough to back into packs like he does.
Last but not least,
Newman had a great game and was cool in pressure situations. Is improving and the most impressive thing is he's adapting to different playing conditions and not sticking to one style of play.
Look out Wealges! We will improve and Campbo will hopefully be back to steer the ship!
