    I think we sometimes consider Peb to be MIA because he is playing a different role this year and we are not used to it.

    He was a driving force.

    Does anyone think we have seen the last of him as a HF? The Swans & Roos have persevered with him as an on-baller, sending an often wayward Adam Goodes up forward instead. Ryan's new position has given him a new lease of life I think. Nobody is doubting his commitment to the club or city any more, which is great.

    I personally think Ryan is still best on half forward. But given our aging slowing midfield putting Ryan there maybe not such a bad often after all.

    Mr Everywhere. Probably his best game of the year. BOG for me.

    LOL - as others have said, he was BOG for us today (just pipped Rhys Shaw).

    He was BOG for mine, decisive and assured 95% of the time. When you get the ball, in heavy traffic, as much as he did yesterday...there will always be a few mistakes...For example : G Ablett and Judd make a few everygame.
    This is a silly thread....bye bye

    Woo - stop baiting. No-one is going to agree with you.

    I truly believe that Duck Butt has got that whole moving back to Melbourne crap out of his system and is now a dedicated club man.

    He almost broke my heart when he said he wanted to go, and it's taken me half a season to finally trust that he's happy to stay.

    He's certainly playing like he's happy to stay ... and if he keeps it up - could even get a chance at being a co-captain once Kirky retires.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    Superstar. Not too many players in the competition playing better footy than him at the moment.

    Yeah, this is a funny thread.

    I was in awe of his marking yesterday. I looked at the stats and expected to see 15 of the suckers in there, but this is modern footy and handball receives are the new measure.

    The 8 or 9 that he took were all amazing, pack marks, hard against the boundary with massive pressure and so on.

    The goal from 50 was very good. It was ROK of old. One of my fav things in footy is a ROK left foot sailing through at post height.

    Judd made a whole lot more in the 05 GF and still won a Norm Smith.

    I'd be very surprised if ROK wasn't comfortably ensconced in the B&F top 5 at this stage of the season.
