Considering the amount of inside 50s against us, backline did a fair job. Melican played better and kept Hipwood quiet. Allir is a master at getting his hand in for a spoil and Rampe is a total gun and kept pace with Cameron and that is saying something.

Yeah, the backline was really good, which is something. Aliir, Thurlow and Melican all played their best game of the year. Kennedy, Aliir, Rampe, Hewett and Papley were our strongest players.

Kennedy 31 (14 contested), 9 tackles, 9 clearances.

Florent, Dawson, Jack, Fox, Reid, Blakey passengers.

Mills disappointing. Jones and Heeney were off.

It was very uneven - some really good; many off

For the second week in a row our best centre clearance player was Sinkers. When the ball hits the ground where are our mids. We had 14 centre clearances, I reckon Sinkers had 7. Just garbage. Our players set up behind their opponents and don't go for the footy. Occasionaly we get lucky and the ball falls our way.I think Heeney had the only open and clear centre clearance. The rest were scrappy around the corner kicks.

Sinclair had 2 clearances, 1 of which was a centre clearance. Agree he tried hard. Kennedy 9(3), Hewett 7(4), Parker 5(1).

Have changed my mindset , not expecting wins , just looking for positives . Dawson and Blakey in patches , mccartin too. Paps was huge , I honestly think he could win a Brownlow. Parker though is a negative . What has happened to him ? He was sub par last year and even worse this year ...

Paps was huge tonight no doubt but Brownlow is a big call! Unfortunately he does more things like fluffing up that last shot a goal on a more consistent basis than the spectacular stuff he displayed in patches tonight.

time for the melican knockers to say sorry

Mills was far from the worst player today. He made one terrible error that cost a goal but he wasn't alone there! The issue I have is that he has been played out of position his entire career and it appears like it's not going to change any time soon as horse seems oblivious or too stubborn to make a change...

FFS he had a 40 possession game as a 16 or 17 year old in the NEAFL against AFL opposition (Gold Coast). He is a natural midfielder, at least give him a chance to see if he is a bust or not!!!

Mills is playing poorly and you need to stop making excuses for him.

A good player is a good player anywhere.

Yes we all want to see him in the midfield but I guarantee you he doesn’t deserve it at the moment.
