Doyle

[barry]

Didnt get much game time, but did ok. Had a purple patch about half way through the last quarter. Good mark, nice pass, nearly another speccy 30m out.

God, if he stays fit for the rest of the year, our ruck division is 2nd to none.

One step at a time barry, I'm just happy he got through unscatched. Anything else was a bonus.

[Dave]

And he didn't get injured

[Glenn]

Could get injured in the sheds after the game

Pleasing game for Doyle, and hopefully can get a string of first team apperances

[Carolyn]

He could have had a goal...if he held onto the ball for a mark when Kirk kicked it to him...however, he had an okay game.

[Thunder Shaker]

I'm pleased he got to play a game. He's had so much bad luck with injuries that he's only managed 41 games so far.

If he gets to 50 games, it should go on the banner. While 50 games is not normally good enough for a banner, I think we should make a special case for Doyle because he's persevered for so long.

I thougtht it was more than promising from the big fella. Very happy with what I saw today.

[Nico]

The General is back.

Contrast in athleticism with Chambers was remarkable. If he can stay fit, could be a significant X factor just at the right time.

Can we get over the injury thing with Doyle?? Does anyone think he decides to go out and get hurt??
He was a strength before that Port @@@@ Burgoyne tried unfairly to end his career at the SCG? And has busted his gut to get back since!
His game today was exactly what Roos wanted..I would LOVE to be here praising him on GF night..and Ihave a sneaky feeling that I just might!!!

Had a good game, and seemed to enjoy being part of the PM. I smiled when I watched him being photographed with a diminutive older guy - real odd couple.
Great to see him back - he knows how to play and IMHO is the best single change to the lineup since the season began.

He even managed to get a handball off laying flat on his stomach, with a demon sitting on him.

Serious? He has all the athleticism of a block of granite.
He's above Chambers because he has good footy skills. Kick, mark, handball.

Had to laugh at the MMM commentary with regards to a chase down the Southern Stand wing. Something like "..and Doyle haring off after his opponent at 1.5 km/h"
