Good: Sloane is a monster. His disposal wasn't quite there, but that was about the most dominant he's ever been in close. Brouch was a little handball happy at times, but 10 clearances is solid. Mrouch was good, but in the second half he kind of went into 'receiver' mode, just taking...

I wish Doedee wasn't injured in the preseason. If not he could be in the team already. Hopefully he debuts within the next month. Knight was probably the main threat to take Mackay's spot, but he just looked a little bit off, although his effort was there. Himmelberg, Doedee, Beech, Keath...

Little bit disappointing to see that Signarello and Poholke don't seem to be quite at the level so far this year. Poholke especially I was hoping would be pushing 20 touches per game. Any news on how Gooch and Doedee have pulled up? Jeez, Lachie Murphy seems to have adjusted to SANFL footy...

His ball use is elite for a ruckman, it's better than half our midfield. It's handy, especially with our fast paced style, to have a ruckman who can actually hit targets by foot rather than always searching for a mid to hand it off to.

Good to see Curtly finally get some reward for effort. Very very solid two-way game. The commentators keep going on about how he's added outside run to the team, but it's his contested work and tackling that have stood out to me.

It's a bit hard to get an accurate read on Jackson Edwards from the Crows board since most there are hoping he's the bees knees. What are your reasons for rating Edwards a bit lower than some? Is it the lack of a difference/x-factor a la Jonty Scharenberg last year?

Probably. But he doesn't have the sheer athletic ability that Harto has.

I feel bad for Kelly. You can't doubt his effort, but he just isn't quite up to it. Hampton needs to find the ball before BCrouchy comes back, but I like his aggressive tackling. Out: Jenkins (fingers crossed for no collapsed lung), Kelly In: Lever, Menzel/Wigg/Greenwood

Do you think that Corey Lyons' season would have pushed him into the top 50 of the draft? Or would he still be more likely to get a rookie spot?

Bit disappointed about Lairdy, but so hyped to see Sloaney get his recognition. 1/2 Rory's ain't too bad.

MRP is a bit of a lottery. I don't think there was anything intentional about it, but they tend to not like anything head high. Who knows?

Bump. He has his fair share of critics on here, but he's had an undeniably promising season. His hands are exquisite, and for a young mid he's incredibly strong. His disposal still isn't great but it's gradually improving. 21 years old. 27.2 touches per game. 5 clearances. And he's still got...

I hope his son isn't old enough to understand what happened. Imagine being some young Aboriginal kid and seeing something like that happen. No matter what you do, no matter how successful you are, there will always be people who hate and mock you based on your skin color/heritage. I can't even...

Excellent: - Jakey Lever's first AFL goal. How good can he become? :eek::eek::eek: Good: - Eddie, Jenkins, Lairdy, Talia all just kept on chugging. Hopefully at least 2 of them will be AA. - Lyons and Atkins are getting better at accumulating. I thought that was the Rat's best game for a month...

Apologies for being oblivious, does anyone know who the black armbands were for?

Meh, the only reason he'd miss is because of games played, I think most people would agree he's elite.

Good: - The best BCrouch has moved all year. Fell out of it in the 2nd half, but he's building. I've been pretty unimpressed with his year up until now, but I'm back on board the hype train. - Our backline was nearly faultless. A couple of rushed kicks were the only tarnish on the performance...

Out: Douglas, Seed (Inj) In: McGovern, Thompson Assuming Jacobs is fit, I'd be surprised if he didn't come back in, despite ROB's solid game. I wouldn't be surprised if one of Atkins, MCrouch, or even Lyons got a rest next week either. Interesting week at selection, lots of players to fit in...

Zac Merrett from Essendon can seriously play. His numbers are probably boosted by being practically the only option in their terrible midfield, but he's going to be a really good player. Also he's an amazing Dreamteam scorer. If we're going by guys who are 21 or younger, then the obvious...

SLOANE CONFIRMED BEST PLAYER IN LEAGUE

Wasn't Thommo a late out a couple of weeks ago?

Good - Texan with 4 quarter game. Kicked the ball as well as he has all year. - 70% of what Charlie does is amazing - Lynch just keeps chugging on - Laird's marking was immense, best game since he's come back in. - Lyons did some really nice thing. Disposal was average at times, but his marking...

Good - - His whole career I've been unsure if Matty Crouch would be able to overcome his middling athleticism and underwhelming disposal. But his last 3 games have just been immense. Maybe the decision to give him a rest was the right call? Regardless, I'm officially on board. Champion -...

Good - Daniel Talia: 16.4 possessions per game, 3.7 rebound 50s per game Alex Rance: 18.2 possessions per game, 2.2 rebound 50s per game Talia's improvement offensively this year has been immense. He's genuinely supplying rebound for the first time in his career.

Out: Hendo, one of Douglas, Milera, and Sloane (shoulder) In: Mookay, Thommo I know this board might have a bit of a melt if Milera gets dropped, but I personally wouldn't mind seeing him split the rest of this year between the AFL and the SANFL, so he can have more of a go in the midfield, and...

Good - Crouchy was huuuuuuuge, especially in the first when the game was still on. 17 touches in the first is one way to make an impact as the late inclusion. Most impressively he was able to accumulate uncontested ball, and actually use it well (mostly) - Just about the best game of Lyons...

Jack Graham rising up the draft stocks surely?

Gotta be Darcy. Dunkley and Blakely were excellent but DBJ has been great all year.

Good: - Jeez our forward line is good. Just about every single week someone different dominates - Eddieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee - Texas continuing to build - Dougy and Lyons with 7 clearances each - Thommo was solid in the first half, I felt - Atkins with 28 touches. Thought he burnt the ball in the...

Underappreciated by who? AA squad last year, near unanimous pick for AA this year before he got injured, BnF winner* :(. I mean, I love the bloke, but he's pretty highly rated by most.
