Bryce Gibbs

WIGGINS

What did you think of his last term Melvey??

PROS:-





He put his body on the line on at least 5 occasions and i would never have previously expect him to do such things, mainly cause he's never done them before.
Exactly what i was talking about last weekend. If he wants to be a leader, he needs to show some. And he certainly did that today.

Again.....take this for what it is....... a NON-STEVENS FAN giving credit to where credit is due.... brilliant game and easilly best on ground.


GIBBS -
Jesus. How good is this kid. I never have to worry when the ball is in his hands. Just brilliant. Nathan Buckley-esque. Wow. Great game.


FEVOLA -
Did you see him giving it to the Richmond fans? haha. Brilliant.
What was even better was them making up towards the end of the game......... good sportsmanship.

GRIGG -
Good game from an improving player.

KREUZERS CHASE -
This kid is doing stuff that ruckman don't usually do. Top stuff.

WIGGENS -
Has heart this kid. cops alot, but boy he has heart!




CONS:-

The Use of SETANTA. -
Not sure what we're doing with him and i reckon he's confused as to what his role is. Starts at full-back, then sits on the bench for half of the 2nd qtr, then goes forward, then creates himself some space but nobody wants to kick to him, then goes back again. FFS just leave him as Fullback!

Kick-ins -
Bunching up in the centre just pushes us wide which then forces either a turnover or out-of-bounds. Try something new.

Russell -
Looked dis-interested.That kick into the man on the mark was poor.

Fisher -
Was reading the game report on sportal.com and they listed him in the best????? WTF? He was awfull. Very dissapointed with his game so far this year.

Decision Making (of lack there of) -
FOR CHRIST SAKE, MAKE A DECISION. Far to often i see us just hold the ball up forcing teams to then get numbers back. Just get rid of the ball.

Interesting to see that for the first 3 qtrs, we tend to go wide, then for the last qtr, we go through the centre. Tactic by ratts?

Again. Special mention of Stevens again. Just brilliant. I'm not asking him to lay 10 tackles every game. But the way he put his body on the line today lifted the entire team and got us over the line. That's what i expect from a leader.

Your joking about Fisher aren't you, were you at the game? I thought it was his best game for a while. The one handed pick up and pass to Stevens for a goal in the 3rd quater was all class. Left foot 40m pass to Fev for another goal was also good. Had an equall game high 5 scores assits, easily in the best this week.

PROS:
*Gibblet, stevo, bentick, WAITE
*I'm not a huge fan of grigg, but he had a good game yesterday and helped us get over the line in the last quarter
*Stopped the big richo-man

CONS:
*russell...again
*setanta was pretty average

PRO's
Wiggins
CONS'
Wiggins hanballing to fev in the lat qaurter

I see this young one has the power of Wiggins.

More strength to you!

To the supporters who believe that no player who wares the Carlton jumper should be anything less then perfect in all things they do when they step over the white line to play football - my considered response is you guys are on the wrong blog site. You should be bitching on the Fantasy Football site.

As far as I am aware all players are human and all humans make mistakes - even MELVEY makes mistakes. He is therefore human - it’s a pity he can't share this level of compassion with the team he "supports".

if we did a word count since September 2007 on this website (and this can be done) for all the bitching at one player - no not Russell, lets say Wiggins - and compare what they have actually done in the games against Collingwood and Richmond in the part few weeks - then to me its all more than balanced. I want Wiggins to play for as long as his form justifies his inclusion on the team and it sure does now.

I suspect the reason there is so much animosity against him is his effort on the ground (100%) and the fact that he is not the most skillful of players. The skill sets of those who blagg him are probably just similar to his. It s a pity they are unable to contribute in the same positive way that Wiggins does with 100% commitment.
