Jack Steven has taken his disposal from being a Jones-like liability into a strength. Seriously, he is landing lace-out passes at full pace every week now.

Ross has a great footy brain and will be a quality player next year with an improved fitness base.

Siposs is building

Webster can kick and should have played the whole game

Saad's game was more like his 2012 season

Roberton is a gun and future AA

Rhys Stanley's long kicking out of defence is phenomenal

No love for Stanley? I thought he was having one of his best ever games down back, until perhaps the last qtr when he was too easily side-stepped (goal) and then infringed in a marking contest (goal). But as someone said, it was raining in there all night. I thought he showed good signs overall.

Agree with all that and Newnes was equally good tonight.

Webster for 1 qtr footy looked great.

Positives?

The chips were hotter than last time I bought them at Etihad.

I got a car park closer to the ground this time

My haemorrhoids seem to be clearing up

Basically takes 6 weeks for a calf to heal

Seb Ross looks good...fantastic attack on the footy...but is very very one sided. No right foot whatsoever it seemed

Newnes and Montagna.

Also, Hickey showed some improvement.

draft picks, the chance and time to look for a new coach. Plenty of time to do other things this year.

Wasn't his worst game, but his direct opponent was BOG with 39 touches.
That's pretty much the story of our midfield and onballers at the moment- no defensive game.

Why does Ross have to kick on his non preferred??

Only about 5% of kicks are non-preferred in modern footy... Due to the maintain possession game, players don't go opposite unless its a last resort!

Mitchell would be the only real dual sided player in the AFL now....

We kicked a decent score compared to last week, unfortunately we leaked a lot, but it shows there is potential scoring power there
