    Spoilers, Guns and Money - R12

    Give us your thoughts

    Spoilers = A (One) player that did not quite measure up to expectations and the reasons why?
    Guns = 3 players that stood out on the night and the reasons why?
    Money = Someone who's skills stood out in the game? This can be one particular passage of play.

    Spoilers - Minsons kicking

    Guns - Halls marking, the defensive pressure from Morris and Cooneys explosive runs.

    Money - that pass from Cooney in the last quarter was a thing of beauty.

      Spoilers - Mitch hahn just looks 'gone' to me.

      Guns - Murphy makes us a much better side.

      Money - Since GVGjr already acknowledged Cooney's brilliant pass - then I'll say Griffen's 55-60m pass to Gia across his body. Superb.

        Spoilers: Hahn & Gia going to ground in marking contests.

        Guns: Hall's domination of Merrett, Cooney's take-aways and Morris for a very good performance on Fev.

        Money: Josh Hill's triple-poster.... Brilliant!!

          Agree here but I thought the pass on the day was the Ripper from Wood to hall that covered 65m.

          Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

                Spoilers - Mitch Hahn, really needs to find form.

                Guns - Murphy, what a game after having minor surgery on his knee

                Money - A few magnificent long passes already mentioned, so I will nominate Bazza and the great Mark he took in the goal square. Everyone including Lake misjudged except Bazza.

                    Spoiler: Grant's set shots. Currently his only glaring weakness

                    Guns: Murphy's field kicking
                    Hall for his one on one marking and strong leads
                    Morris for being Morris

                    Money: Wood and his 2 runs from defence and kicking it long into the goal square, one resulted in a goal to Hall and the other one Gia just couldn't get onto. Run and carry from the HBF is something we have lacked all year.
                    More of an In Bruges guy?

                      yes, and Wood and Murphy gave us that.

                        Spoiler: Stack. He's got potential but right now he's hanging by a thread.

                        Guns:

                        Hall. 6.1 plus plenty of assists.
                        Cooney. Won the ball well, created turnovers and took them on.
                        Murphy. Oh me of little faith. Left his as a reserve in Supercoach while Taylor Walker gave me a paltry 25. He's at his best down back

                        Money: Two I couldn't split

                        Minson's Hanger in the 3rd at CHF, and Murphy running at full tilt to mark a shot at goal in the last quarter. Turned the clock back 3 years.

                          Spoilers
                          - Hall's dropped marks which flung straight back out of our fifty, it is so important he takes them.
                          - Grant's goal kicking needs to improve, he could easily have had 3 goals.
                          - Griffen's awareness was well down early on and was forced to give hurried handpasses too often.
                          - Hill's incapability to attack a contest is seriously sh*tting me. Soft as butter, slow as it too, what does he offer to the side??

                          Guns
                          - Cooney: brilliant again.
                          - Giansiracusa: set us up early and was genuinely dangerous around goals, he is so important to our side.
                          - Murphy: Excellent first game back.

                          Money
                          - Wood's long kick over the top to Barry
                          - Griffen's long beauty to find Gia
                          - Eagleton's long goal
                          - Murph's mark floating across the pack in defense

                            Spoiler - Brennan Stack. I'm one for giving young guys a go, but I'm not sure where he's at. He's old enough and big enough of body to commit himself more, but doesn't seem to.

                            Gun - Morris' demolition job on Fevola.

                            Money - Can't believe the lack of love for Minson's left footer from outside 50. What a corker.

                              It was definitely a good one - but he really should have been popping the ball over to (I think) Stack who had all teh space in front of him to goal easily. It was either a poor decision - or poor execution from Minnow...and he got away with it!
