Attitude and work-rate
Weller's tackling
Weller's job on Griffen - kept him to just 5 kicks
Savage from 50 twice, and his run throughout
Joey's last quarter
Membrey and Bruce up forward
Bruce running through Bugg after Bugg hit Rooey
Steven back approaching his best
Sinclair showed something
Lonie showed something
Riewoldt, Fisher, Dempster and Montagna still have it - could all go another couple of years
Dislikes
Selecting four small forwards
Saad was completely ineffective
Templeton was completely ineffective
Newnes's quiet day
Dunstan's quiet day
Definitely more positives than negatives though.

Re: Likes and Dislikes
Lonie - beginning of something big here. So much skill.
Bruce - Aggressive at the ball. Great to have forward options other than Roo.
Membrey - Quicker than I thought he was, and like Bruce, I can see a future for him in the forward line.
Savage - Required player
Saad. Poor game. At least his last (4th) disposal was good. Bad that I can count them though.
Kicking skills were painful to watch. Some of the kids were better kicks than our more experienced players.

Re: Likes and Dislikes
I liked Bruce's specie.
Loved his give off to Geary after he took a solid mark a bit before. It was very Jodi Arnolesque!

Our attitude, intent and endeavour
Bruce - now totally on board with him as a forward - we still might need to recruit a mature kpb and Goddard should be ready to start next year - loved Bruce's hit on bugg
Sinclair looked good
Membrey - if he can cut his simple mistakes will be good
Savage can play
Steven - he's back
Lonie will be good - has some mongrel
Didn't like
Some of the disposal was terrible or worse.
Saad, templeton not good enough at the moment
Shenton - did some good stuff but seems to think very slowly he would be replaced IMO with Webster
UMPIRING - killed our momentum

Re: Likes and Dislikes
Liked:
Good intent and effort
Bruce grew in confidence and became a good focal point
Membrey showed a bit - not sure how he will fit in though long term
Fought it out right to the end and almost stole it when it could have easily got away from us after half time
Savage and Steven showing some real dash and penetration
Having a run around on Etihad - the grass is very nice
Dislike
Still a fair bit of kick it to Rooey
Inability to lower the eyes and give forwards a good ball rather than the bombing it in
Quite a few players couldn't seem to get in the game - Saad, Templeton, Newnes, Dunstan. You can't have too many passengers out there
Better coordination needed with who goes in packs and who stays down - they spoiled each other quite a few times
We lost the midfield battle pretty comprehensively
That feels like a real missed opportunity. Although they were a bit wasteful in the first half, we were running all over them at the end but some crappy umpiring and poor fwd 50 entries blew it. That could have really taken the pressure off if we won.

I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.

Bruce's game. For some reason I keep thinking he's not a forward, but he does get the job done.
Jack Steven and Shane Savage.. fast, ball winners and kick goals
Crowd noise and involment. I had a pretty enjoyable game considering we lost and we're probably the wooden spooner this year.
Tackling and attitude. I reckon we're developing our own anti-social football.
Speccies! And it was predictable that Bruce would miss the goal after that mark
.
Jack Lonie and Jack Sinclair. Lonie should definitely keep his spot and i'd like to see more of Sinclair.
Roberton finding some 2013 form after struggling with an ankle injury last year.
Dislike
Oppoisition clubs always trying to take Rooey out. He get's really angry when this happens and I don't blame him. It's dirty tactics.
Something not quite right with Newnesy today. Or just had an off day.
Saad and Templeton seem a bit out of form. Both understandable after Saad being out for more than a year, and Templeton coming off a bad injury. They should find some form in VFL.
Nice build-ups only to turn it over in the forward 50.
No Lee, White or McCartin. Would like to see one of these guys playing.
I want to see Holmesy get a chance. I reckon he will do at least as good as Longer, I'm no expert though.
I was surprised that so many are saying Dunstan had a poor game as I thought he looked quite good. His stats were definitely down though. Maybe the touches he got were quality?
