For a second there i thought u were talking about Tanner(#12) from the ags. Witness a woeful display from the solid boy. Heard many good things about him from the season but did not display any of them last night. Do not think he took one mark all night, dropped everything. As soon as he heard footsteps, even from the smallest of players, he actually shat himself. Many times he would go up in a pack contest half heartedly, and come out of it panting as if no preason was put in this year from the big man. For his size he showed no agression, and whenever near a contest with Murray he would back off or be brushed aside. His kicking was another atrocious display, could not kick over a jam tin and therefore did not his a target all night. The ags side seemed to be lacking the instensity and effort across the half forward line, to be able to get the pill down to jesse silver (who played well for what he had coming from down the field). I beleive Tanner was the one who was playing chf, who was a key contributor in the breakdown coming into the forward line. Believe if colbert/dunnet (ivanhoe) or darwin (marcelin) played at chf they would have shown talent and brain to push up in a V like fashion onto the wings, giving Jesse Silver a considerable amount of space to weave his magic. My 3,2,1 votes for worst on ground would have to go to:
1- Graham(mauled in the ruck)
2-Chamberlain
3- Tanner(#12)
Aps were just too stong with the scholarship boys stepping up to prove their worth to the private school federation.
Hope the ags make it a closer contest next year. If anyone else has anythought about my remarks, post away.

They are fair votes, certainly Angus Graham was well beaten by Hawkins in the ruck, and by the last quarter AGS had Colbert in there. It's going to be interesting to see where Graham plays when he goes back to Calder, only a back up ruck role at best with Neaves in their side.bigbazz05 said:
Chamberlain, well he dropped one or two marks that probably need to be held at any level. Perhaps the footsteps from behind echo badly at Elsternwick Park.
And Tanner, well yeah I didn't see anything to like there, Murray had the better of things there for the time they were on each other and Murray kept going well after Tanner went off him as well.
Someone asked about APS player Huw Flanagan, he was the back up ruck behind Hawkins, not a massive influence on the game.
The only other one from AGS who I hardly noticed was Andre Gianfagna, was he out there and did he do much?

was watching the game last night, realy impressed with the agression and quality shown by the aps team.. the ags were surprisingly soft ( and i am not a bias aps man). the melbourne grammar coaach did extremely well with his constant rotations of his 6 gun midfielders ( cain, werzberger, flemming, plymin, kennedy and mcguinessl)
3 votes: Kennedy
2 votes: hawkins
1 vote: murray
others who also deserved votes were: werzberger, morrison, cain and darvel

Of course I was at the game. By my records he was on a half forward flank early, then a wing with a bit of time in the middle. Cant say I remember him getting a lot of the ball for someone who was in that area of the ground, but it is a wide ground and pretty bloody hard to see what's going on the other side. And the AGS were fairly well smashed as well, so not easy for their players to stand out.Willo06 said:
McGuinness was a ball magnet esp second half - good handball brought many into the game.saints336 said:
Marston didn't get much to do at FB but was very solid.
Kennedy was a gun.
Jones is injured, didnt play but would have been valuable to AGS. Graham was still showing signs of intoxication from a heavy weekend and got a corkie early on. Silver dominated the few times they got the ball within 50 meters of him and Trevaskis was holding up the back line, with Colbert battling hard around the ground. Other wise it was a fairly lifeless and disinterested game by the ags. Team would have been vastly improved had there not been a need to take players from mediocre teams such as yarra valley, mentone, ect..
Riddle (Ivanhoe), Summers (ack) would have been better selections and brought some size to an otherwise small side.

Just thought i'd throw one in...
Would Travis Cloke have made a difference to the outcome of this match, giving the ags some apparently much needed height? He is of course doing yr 12 this year at Yarra Valley, an otherwise ordinary footy school. any comments?

Trav cloke would have made a big difference but prob not a 70 point one, not saying good players cant come from ordinary teams but i think its unfair for players who are better and more deserving from better teams to miss out purely for the fact that each school needs a representative. Cloke would have freed up tanner to sit on the bench where he should have been, had a woeful night.del_santos said:
