That's good. I think we'd all rather watch the junior footy instead of the junior rugby league that they show on Fox Sports.

That's good to know (especially that they'll be showing the most anticipated game of the champs - VM vs WA). Any chance they'll be showing some of the other games (i.e. some of the C/R to the AAMI/Subi games - generally FOXTEL games)?

why do WA come into the comp later than anyone else
Yeah I was wondering that myself.
Luke Shuey seemed to have a pretty good one for Metro. Jack Watts kicked the winning goal with about 3 seconds left, he took some great marks throughout the game. Can't remember his name, but number 17 for Country was very lively up forward.

You were right the first time, 3rd leading possession winner for Metro and a goal.

mate i must be have been on drugs or was watching another match today as it seems that unless you are the son or related to an ex afl player you can't get in the best. Metro best: Watts, Zaharakis, Hurley, McKernan, Lisle, Gotch.
IMO. Lisle was well below parr and Gotch was average at best. Hurley had a shocker compared to his lofty standards, although rumour has it played with a suspected fractured wrist in second half, so super effort on his behalf. Mckernan (who should not be continually be referred to as the brother of, as he is his own person & player) and Watts were fantastic. Trengove at CHB had three players rotating on him all day, received a really heavy knock to his back at start of the 2nd quarter and played the remaining of game injured and still had his 3 opponents kept to less than six kicks between them. Did the real hard work all day and is unrewarded if not in best I think. He also saved the day with an enormous tackle on hbf which turned the ball over enabling Watts winning goal. And what a goal it was. (Should have waited until after the siren though to build the tension a bit more
) but well done. he has got some talent. Zakarakis was another who imo was average. Maybe as he was in best as he was captain. Great player, but not today. Shuey is also stiff not to get a mention, I thought is was huge all day. The one that amazed me was Tyrone Vickery. he was bloody fanstatic in the ruck and played very well. Cannot believe he did not get metioned. Not in the "coaches favourites" i guess. I actually thought the whole metro team actually looked tired, slow and flat. maybe those hotel beds are not that comfortable hey! Anyway it is only my opinion and I am sure others will agree and disagree and that is why this game is the best. Everyone can have an opinion.

yea not too bad.. got toweled up by heyne at the end.. he looks a likely type though, strong, tough, no bullshit defender
I think they're the best as picked by Matt Burgan. I've never been a fan of his 'best players', I think they're very different to what I see in a game.
Actually in the Division 2 carnival, I saw the NSW/ACT best as named by their coaches, they were a lot more around the mark with what I thought and they were a lot different to Burgan's pretty much in every game.
I'm not sure afl.com.au respect the match ups to the extent they should, particularly players who play negating roles in defence.
Interesting the different ways people see the game. Gotch was certainly in Metro's best few, their leading possession winner and most of them effective. Trengove's an exiting talent but who was he playing on and how many goals did he kick? Was it Will Young who snagged three? And I have to say your analysis of Hurleys game was shocking in itself. Maybe its just me but he reminds of a under 18 version of Chris Langford and he didn't give his opponents a sniff and saved several goals.mate i must be have been on drugs or was watching another match today as it seems that unless you are the son or related to an ex afl player you can't get in the best.
