Team took an ultrasound of Menz's knee and it was OK so they kept him on. Subbed out when he was still sore. Modern technology....isn't it something.

Menz has ben OK this season. I'd give him a few more games before dropping him to the 2s

im a fan of menz.. just needs more consistancy

 

[prisoner777]

was good. got us back into it in the second.
Loving his form and loving the numbers our mids are getting under barks.

I've been critical of him in the past but I have say his form in the past month or so is great and he seems to be com9ing into his own now Juddy retired.

Interesting that Gibbs suspension gave Nicky G more time in the middle/on the ball, and he really delivered today, his decision making and hitting targets by foot was great.

Bell was bog, with Dre, Bucks, Denny and Wood in the honours.

Funny how a month in footy makes, Holman's zest was infectious today.

NG for rising star nomination this week ?

Does dropping him to 2s get that or should Barker persevere with him?

Liked Holmans quarter, a bit taller than I thought he was.

 

[mike ockerts]

Tommy Bell has some real issues with ball in hand at times, he knows that and I'd working on it, you can see improvement (well I can anyway) but it's slow, he is a real brute at the coal face though, and I love the way he wills himself to contests, real competitor love it.

Thank you Nick Holman........Blaine Boekhorst next.

Kreuz- fantastic to see that kind of game from him, 19 touches & all those 1%ers. Hands look good too.

Bell- our most improved player. Still only played 40 odd games so I expect his biggest flaw, decision making, to get even better. It's certainly improve immeasurably the last 12-18 months

Murph- playing like a captain, I love it.

Everitt- enjoying his form as a 3rd marking option up forward. Kicking goals and applying pressure.

Buckley- heaps more composed today and his disposal by foot was a highlight.

All in all, not the greatest spectacle to watch, but a win is a win. Quick question: is Nick Holman's left leg always that good? And his hands? Knew he could tackle and was hard at it, really impressed with his disposal and quickness of mind when he came on.

2 in a row, up the Baggers!!

not sure.. ur right in persisting under barker. just feel an attitude change will come if sent bak to the 2s for a few weeks

People seem to forget Menz seemed proppy when coming back on, probably got an injection. His stats are not indicative of 3 full quarters of footy.

 

[passmark]

2E really back to his best.

 

[BM123]

both Kruez and Wood with 109 DT points.....

Both worked hard to provide a option.

Nicky G certainly had a solid game! Lets hope it's a sign of a great future for the team.

my beef is he goes missing for massive periods of time though the game. stats defiantly dont tell the full story. more time i think. maybe just needs a bigger tank

 

[Paulski19]

2 in a row.......we're back!!!

Yep, we're certainly in the best 16 teams in the comp. Just give us the cup now! lol

 

[NavyBlue5]

Back to back to back next week boys! Wooooo!!!!

 

[TeeJay Blue]

Would not risk Menzel next week. Needs to be rested.
To be honest, not many I can see that need to be dropped after today but Ellard seems to lack impact compared to the rest.
Holman should be given another game after that last quarter.

Laid some huge tackles. Looks dangerous and cops close attention. Keep.

 

[ThePine]

Pretty average game but a solid win in the end.

Cripps getting the hard tag in his 13th game and still having an influence was great.

Were gonna need a child care centre at visy park there's that many kids!!

Holman seemed to have a touch of class with ball in hand. Seems to have a penetrating left boot with a bit of pace

I sort of gathered he was a bit of an inside battler from the VFL reports.

Thoughts Harks? Are you surprised at all?

 

[Pick7]

Great win, I think next week ellard looses his spot.

Hopefully

Not at all but watch Boekhorst when he starts spearing them into the forward 50
