Yeah, you've convinced me. Explain yourself Gary!! We demand satisfaction! Well EW does... I am bordering on being ambivalent about it all myself, if I'm honest.

[whythelongface]

4. Bont - that was sensational. Led from the front and took the team with him. One of his greatest (amongst many) performances
3. English - Brilliant around the ground
2. Baker - loved his game. Quick decisive and hits the scoreboard
1. Marra - given the week he had that was amazing. You can see the hurt from those comments. To be able to perform under such adversity was testament to him as well as our club.

[Scorlibo]

4 - Bontempelli

Set the tone with his pressure and hard nosed inside game.

3 - Ugle-Hagan

Was a one man forward line and avenue to goal amidst an otherwise pretty disorganised forward line. Very proud of Marra tonight.

2 - Treloar

Five centre clearances, an area where we've struggled in the first two weeks. Important.

1 - Macrae

Back to his best creating time with ball in hand, smart ball use put us in scoring positions. Plus a couple of magnificent efforts to contest the ball in the forward line.


Even performance from the guys, English, Richards, Keath, Dale and Libba all stiff.

[Grantysghost]

4. English best on by the straight.
3. Libba 9 tackles wowee.
2. Bont great captains game.
1. Marra straight kicking wins matches!

Baker I really need to say he killed it.

What a bargain and he's a kid. Thanks Dees!

Only one reason we were in at half time and that was the Bont.

[Grantysghost]

Only one reason we were in at half time and that was the Bont.

He was awesome.

English had 7? hit outs to advantage at half time.

I watched him closely all night, his positioning was perfect. Always in the hole, was a big part of our defensive setup.

Loved the couple of spikes he did late, and that mark in the last line.

Loved his game.

He'd be a fair way in front in the B and F atm.

English finished with 14 hit outs to advantage his career best.

I'm sorry but that's insane and you're wrong.

Okay hear me out on this but I do get the angst.
You have to own certain moments in games.
English took that big mark in the back line, owned the moment and played exceptionally well.
Treloar worked over Dunks and repeatedly beat him in the decisive contests and owned the moment.
Liberatore worked harder than anyone and tackled like there was no tomorrow.
Marra had 5 kicks and 5 goals in what was for a shy lad who doesn't crave the limelight was an incredible feat.

Bontempelli was terrific no question about it but 13 clangers was disappointing and had that brilliant piece of run and a long kick resulted in a goal then he would have owned the moment and may have got my 4 votes.

I'll watch the replay and will happily consider a vote change.

I thought Baker and Richards were sensational and Keath and Bruce did their jobs.

That Richards tackle very early on to stop a certain goal was gold. He was good tonight.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Lol.

After all that I only just realised I had written my votes in the wrong order. And I don't even drink anymore!

No it's fine there's nothing wrong with what you said or your opinion. You're just insane :).

There's a bunch of insane people in here though. Nobody played a better game than Bont last night. End of.

But do you drink any less?

4/ Bont - he set the tone.

1/ Dale

[Grantysghost]

I'm sorry but that's insane and you're wrong.

I wonder if people at the game v on TV had different views.
Bont was very good, but he torched it a lot and I was getting really frustrated with him.
15 turnovers 13 clangers.
Still he carried us with intent so I get that part and he's the best player ever.
Metres gained was huge.

I'm surprised more people aren't over the top crazy in their praise for English. One of the best ruck games I've seen by a Dog.

Nearly half of his 31 hit outs were to advantage.

That mark in the last he sprinted 25 metres to get there. I nearly lost my record in the excitement.

Parked himself in the perfect position all night, he was a huge part of our all ground defence (no goals out the back) around 70 percent of his possessions were defensive half.
We've been pleading for guys to give up their more flashy game for the team, look.no further than Tim.

Throw a blanket over a few after that. Bont, Libba, Macrae, Baker, Marra etc.

English was very good and that last mark was immense, but I fear you're having another whiteout otherwise.

Ha.

He equalled the historical turnover record I believe.

What's in that fire retardant?

4. Bont - as others said, set the tone....had 9 touches in the first 15 minutes and was aggressive (something we simply weren't with ball or towards the man last week).
3. Treloar - not normally my guy - but rated his game. Looked more a leader than normal.
2. English - quietly putting together a strong start to the year.
1. Jamarra - half our goals is worthy of being in the votes.

Really liked Richards' game, and thought Alex Keath had a big second half after having some real question marks on his name.
