Fair call but I saw a nearly-whole-of-team performance. I didn't see a clear top five. Certainly not a game that was 5 times as good as the fifth best performer.Scollop wrote: ↑Mon 29 Jul 2019 12:48pmMost other posters seem to think that Gresham was in our top 3 or 4 players. Don't take this the wrong way, because all voting by individuals is subjective and I'm only posting (as a sort of play on words) because I want to reply on your comment about Gresh being 'muddle-headed'.minneapolis wrote: ↑Mon 29 Jul 2019 3:40am Was just going to give them all to the the back line but lots of players earned a vote tonight:
2 Bruce
2 Marshall
2 Ross
2 Dunstan
1 Carlisle
1 Wilkie
1 Brown
1 Steele
1 Clark
1 Gresham
1 Membrey
Lonie - back to his putrid pre-good-Lonie self.
Gresham - lively but muddle-headed.
Paton, Hind, Langlands, Long, Clark - all very impressive.
Brown, Carlisle, Wilkie, Clark - a great foundation for a back line.
You've given a lot of players similar votes. You've named half the squad! Surely there were standout performances from our guys weren't there? Perhaps your voting for this particular game is a bit muddle headed
Ross played a very good game. He used the ball well. Much better this year than any previous year.
Gresham on the other hand just kicked it quickly many times. I would put his efficiency rating at about 60%. His skills are very good, better than he is playing.
If I was Rattan I would encourage him to become the best hand-baller in the competition. 10 or 20 meter hand-balls to advantage to the outside player would make him the most valuable he could be to the team. He has said that he plays on instinct. I think that Ross has evolved from instinct now and Gresh will be much much better when he does also.
And finally I often give my votes to the person who did a team job rather than a person who would get votes from the papers. It's just the old poorly-skilled back-pocket-player in me coming out!
Thanks for the comment. I love talking footy on here.
