Votes round 5, 2005 - RFC vs St Kilda

[mightytiges]

Tough choice 

3. Stafford - 4 goals in a smashed side is a good effort and he was only Tiger to beat his direct opponent.

2. Tuck

1. Bowden

Cambo was good in the time he was on the ground.

 Cogs, Hyde, Tivs, Knobel, Gas, Kellaway were all triers.

Deledio and Jackson's second halves were promising.

Wouldn't have a clue lol

3 - Staff
2 - Cogs
1 - Hyde

[Fishfinger]

3 - Stafford
2 - Tuck
1 - Coughlan

[WilliamPowell]

3 - Tuck - courage under fire and never gives up

2 - Stafford - thank goodness he was there

1 - Hyde - would have got more if he had seen out the game

Special mention to richo for being the only leader out there today who at least tried to show some leadership

Special mentions NOT (go ahead call me harsh )

The usual suspects for their skills aka Turnovers: they don't need to be named

Andy Krakouer: did he play today ??? 

Brett Deledio - has to learn to tighten up defensively 

Joel Bowden - er...in the 2nd quarter..... what was that exactly ???

The Golden Turnup

Well when you get thumped by 11 goals there's gotta be plenty to choose from. I considered Ray Hall for his non punch on Gehrig in the Final Quarter - fancy trying to out mark Gehrig and in the process push Gas out of the way. I considered Joel Bowden who proved in the second quarter that Richo isn't the only one who suffers from brain implosions at tigerland. I also considered Andy Krakouer but I wasn't quite sure if he was playing . I then thought I'd be nice and leave Chaff alone. 

So this weeks Golden Turnup goes to Chris Newman - who got taken to the cleaners by that little twirp Milne - it enough to make my blood boil enough said .

3 - Kellaway - I have given him heaps over the last couple of years but he has really bounced back this year. Did a great job down back and kicked well.

2 - Stafford - Took some good contested marks and kicked some nice goals.

1 - Tuck - Another solid game in the midfield. Did quite a few clangers but never stopped trying.

Also ok:

Coughlan, Hyde, Bowden, Tivendale and Brown

Disappointing thing is that even though the above listed players were ok and got a lot of the ball, they turned it over way too much.

He may have TRIED to show leadership but he didn't show any for mine WP.

He had three shots on goal early which we needed to keep us in touch and he failed on each attempt. And the coup de grace was the fumble on the wing with no one within 30 mentres of him.

Credit to him for not sooking and not complaining becuase he copped bad delivery all night, but he did himself no favours either with squandering the few chances he had.

Mate didn't the saints fans over there give it to him then - He must of been embarrased.

3- Tuck - Hunger
2 - Cog's - Getting back to usual
1 - Hyde - Do I really need to say anything.

Go Tigers

Understand your point John - I agree he should have kicked the goals. He is a forward and that's what he is there for but he wasn't alone - Simmonds missed a sitter from 40 metres on barely an angle.

But back to Richo there was one time in the third where he chased from the forward pocket to between the wing and Saints HBF - that resulted in a turnover. In years gone by he would never have done that - that's the leadership I am talking about. The other leaders didn't seem to do that

The fact his teammantes managed to turnover the ball  after all his hardwork and then he chased again depsite being stuffed spoke volumes to me. As for his fumble (if we are talking about the same incident) - then couldn't we make the arguement that his teammate should have hit him on the chest rather than him having to chase after the bloody ball

After having listened to the game and just finished watching the replay, my votes for round 5

3.  Tuck - 25 possessions - good effort in a very competitive midfield tangle

2.  Kellaway - A much better game

1.  Staff - Looked solid, just did not get enough of the ball

Others of note

Richo - did not get into the game - double teamed -
Krak - off to Coburg next week
Pettifer - off to Coburg next week
Hall - off to Coburg next week

We are two years and plenty of player development before we can get really competitive with the top sides (and after today - saints are one of them)
