Round 17 Positives

[NMWBloods]

C Bolton was excellent on Judd.

Ablett picked Judd up later in the game from what I can gather and was also good.

Nice to see some smothers and chasing from Schneider as well as finishing two goals.

Good hard work from Buchanan.

Great game from Kirk.

O'Loughlin started a bit out of sorts, but showed his class as the game went along (except for some shocking kicking).

Jolly and Ball were good in tandem, except in the 2nd qtr when Cox dominated.

LRT was pretty good.

I thought Kennelly started well, had a poor patch in the middle, and finished very well.

I have been a bit hard on him lately but I thought it was a good game from Jude Bolton. It seems having Buchanan in the team has freed him up for more of a wing position which he seems to be better at because he isn't rushing his kicks and looking like a goose.

I hope Schneider can keep up the form!

[Snowy]

It's interesting that most sides recently have put almost their most inexperienced defender on MOL. One of these days he might break the game open.

LRT

[Refried Noodle]

Although Hall was relatively quiet (despite kicking 2). Showed the depth of the Sydney forward line and no dependence on Hall.

Kept WC to only 67 points when thier average this year has been 110 per game.

Jude: 11 tackles...brilliant.

Won a blockbuster game being so called "favourites" and when the pressure was on.

[DST]

Threw everything but the kitchen sink at West Coast in the first 3 quarters and still managed a final effort to win the game in last.

We are not the most skillful side going around but when the whole team contributes we can beat anyone.

A special mention to LRT today, he is using his body to great affect at present when the ball hits the deck. Does not shirk the issue and keeps his feet to remain in the contest.

LRT made a superb clearance of the ball in the last quarter while WC were on their roll, down near the WC scoring end (MA Noble end). He was under immence pressure and managed to handpass to a Swans player who was clear and started a run down the field. I think it may have even resulted in a Swans goal. Some good work today by LRT.

That was after he dived on it to stop it, looked up and fired out a handball.

I think this was great. I really thought the guys looked tired leading into half time and I worried that their legs would give out in the last quarter. However, they seemed to gain momentum the further the game went.

- Roos use of the rotations. We really were able to run out the game so well. No suprise the 4th quarters have usually been our best.
- Schneider wrestling back the momentum in the 3rd with that super goal.
- Bucky again, Peter Filandia but twice as good.
- The Defence. Stood up so well.

Yep, that was it, quick as a flash and took the best option. Great stuff.

Dermie didn't stop talking about West Coast's rotations. Got bloody annoying after a while. I thought Roos did just as well. Especially with Leo injured.
