These close ones are driving me crazy.Sure beat floggin's though i must say.All hope for a finals berth are completely gone now so it would be easy for us to go into our shells and fade away.Reckon these boys are made of sterner stuff than that and will relish the remaining matches...............reckon a big finish to the season is a must to stimulate supporter enthusiasm.Thought Kruez and Levi were mammoth myself.Kerridge despite his costl turnovers ran himself to a standstill.Its not the oldhands fault we are losing.The kids just have to find half a gear and we are away.

PS .........for effes sake sign up Gibbs,Levi,and Jones.They have been part of the foundations that have been layed and are VITAL cogs in the future of this club.Levi and Jones aint stars but aint slouches either.Would be insanity to break up the best big man combo in the comp.

And he got a coaches vote.

I had him as far more influential than Gawn.

Look at effective hitouts, not just hitouts.
He wasn't as effective around the ground as he has been. Not compared to Gawn there.
Winning the clearances is not always a reflection of how a ruck plays but how the midfield plays the ruckmen's work.
I'm happy for him to get one vote from the coaches even though Levi had something like 15 marks, several hit outs and kicked at least one goal as well as getting the ball to ground inside the F50 several times for the crumbers.
I also thought Oliver had more influence on the game than Murphy and Jetta's own coach said he played ten good minutes.
That means Bolts probably gave him the one and The Melb coach gave Kreuz his one.
Not that it means anything really, who gave what to whom.
I still think Kreuzer was flogged in the ruck.
