Weller had 23 touches and 9 marks, he wasn't great but people beating up on him really need to cut a 21 year old some slack.

In other opinions, we lack that superstar midfielder that you can depend on the deliver it lace out to the forward line. We scrap and tackle hard but lack just a bit of class through the guts.
Exactly it's bordering on the hysterical.

I thought it was a great win, all things considering. Great grit from our guys, especially Touk.

I know brisbane are bad, and we'd like to beat em by 93, but they always play hard against us. They'd be much better if they play with this intensity every week. I'm not reading into the margin too much.

3-2 is a great spot to be in. Go Suns!

I'm sorry but a game high for us 6 clangers out of defence(and I think that's being kind) plus a dropped mark leading to a goal is NOT what solid defence is based on.We forgive Harbs a lot because of his line breaking.Weller needs to do more and do it better plain and simple.He has a great ability to be right where he needs to be though, so we'll persevere

I wouldnt say that bad. But you cannot rate him on the amount of touches. Yes he got a bit of it, but a lot of those touches were rushed without thinking about where he was disposing. He has nice skills when he takes his time
 
Tough, scrappy hardfought, gritty derby win.

Past years we would (and have) laid down for them but we held on for the win and that's what good teams are able to do.

Tough to figure out who's getting votes when your sitting behind the goals and can't see shit but id imagine that Touky will be getting a maximum from me.

Completely forgot Zorko was even in the side until he hurt his arm.

I am sorry , if he is off form or not up to it , he need to go back to second and get his place back .

Bowes was pretty poor tonight as well but no one seems to be hammering him.

Let Weller get a full season of work in this Suns line up before we start nailing him to the cross.

He should be on the Wing
 
Wouldn't mind seeing Weller up the ground further. Has been a bit off with some decision making and a few times tonight he made crucial errors that come from a lack of confidence. Get him up on half-forward, assuming he is willing to chase and harass, where he can use his foot skills to give us someone to kick inside 50 to a target for a change and use his pace to hurt teams on the counter along with Sexton.
 
Bowes take a lot less money.
I imagine it much like Dew says, he says when you step over that white line you rip up birth certificates every person is equal.

Should be the same for 'how much money someone is on', judge each player on their merits on the field and not compare it to their bank account.

But I understand I am not going to change anyones mind. Lets celebrate the win over a desperate Brisbane and get around the lads!

Tough game next week.

Exactly blind freddy can see he's a Wing/HFF type of player.

I’m with you. He did some really good things in that 3rd quarter in amongst some silly mistakes and brain farts. He’s the new fall guy that’s for sure.
 
I like Martin playing the looseman in the backline , that's why moving Weller to forward is the best option if people still think he is untouchable.
