Campo
Campo was very good today. Very composed and creative. I dip my lid.....I was a critic of his selection.
While we're at it.....anyone notice Damien Peverill's courageous effort of running back into a contest with Jonathan Brown full steam ahead? That's guts! That's taking a knock for your team's benefit. Stop f****** bagging the bloke and start patting him on the back. He deserves it.
And while we're still at it, anyone notice Stanton's skills?.......with both feet? Don't suppose we'll have anyone acknowledge that it's pretty good.

I guess its the way it works... when we win, there's very few bad things, when we lose, all the bad things come out despite any good things.

Dunno if Campo was that good. His disposal was fine, but i don't think that's been in issue.
The thing i noticed was that Campo was probably the slowest bloke on the ground (of the midfield-type players) and a couple times when running to a contest with his opponent (who was Stiller for most of the day) he was totally pedestrian. He'll bleed badly if he gets a quality opponent who knows how to find it - as it was today, i reckon him and Stiller broke about even.
As for Stanton, i've never really seen the problem with his disposal - generally, it's good. However he lowered his colours to Selwood today (most times i looked, Stanton was manning Selwood), who nearly died of leather poisoning as he had so many possessions.

Agree that he was slow, but his involvement is a couple of passage of play was critical. Campo was effective coming off the half back line, providing and option as the ball was run forward. He was really the only guy who was able to help Lloyd out when he trapped that ball across half forward with a pride of Lions surrounding him.
On the flip side, Cole was excellent at times and then completely ballsed up his good work with poor disposal (usually directly to an opponent). I was hoping, for his sake, that he'd do a few good things, and while he did... he completely murdered his own good work with the kick that immediately followed.
Jimmy, Stanton doesn't man up. Whoever he plays on will always rack up touches because he'll always be open. They probably cancelled each other out yesterday. Both kicks goals, racked up touches... The difference was, we were able to go forward fairly freely, while Brisbane had nothing to kick to for majority of the match. Picking up touches across halfback and through the middle isn't hard to do, it's when those touches translate into a teammate lining up inside 50 that it is a problem.
Hmm... I think I'm rambling. Time to go.

You will find its only a couple of people who bag Pev, and they would base it on last years efforts.BenDoolan wrote:Campo was very good today. Very composed and creative. I dip my lid.....I was a critic of his selection.

As for Stants, his disposal has been good for a couple of years now, but people like to bring up what it was like in the first season so they can try and justify their claims.
He kicks on the left
He kicks on the riiiiiiiiigggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhttttttttttttt
That boy Hurley
Makes Riewoldt look shite!

I'd like too see us score more goals which are not results of turnovers, but via centre breaks/first use of the footy.bombercol wrote:Campo played very well today and his disposal was excellent.
I was interested to hear that Brisbane conceeded 13 goals from turnovers today us only 3.
stat which shows.
1. our excellent defensive pressure.
but
2. how bad brisbane played.
Well said. Basically, we'll have Stanton going head to head with the opposition's most prolific running midfielder. The problem here is, the top line midfielders in the AFL give Stanton a bath. I can think of at least 40 midfielders I'd take over him. I don't think we can afford to give him licence to never man up and play that "run and gun" style that teams like the Eagles and the Dogs can execute so well. We need to find a balance. Geelong plays a balanced game through the midfield – they can score prolifically with plenty of run through the middle, but can shut it down through the middle when the situation demands it. I don't think we've got the balance right at the moment. In addition, it's probably something that needs to be addressed at a team level, rather than simply telling Stanton to man up.Boyler_Room wrote:Agree that he was slow, but his involvement is a couple of passage of play was critical.

Stanton mailny played on the wing opposed to Michael Rischitelli. Seeing that Rischitelli only had 16 touches and had zero influence on the game, I'd hardly call that being beaten.
As for the 40 midfielders that are better than him. Name them.
It's funny how most would suggest that Brisbane's midfield consisting of Simon Black, Nigel Lappin, Michael Rischitelli and Troy Selwood would shit all over our midfield. But hey, we won by 64 points. Michael Voss, who some would love to see as our coach, said that we were putting great pressure on Brisbane's gun midfield. Hmmm, interesting huh!

I can pick plenty of holes in that list on current form Staggy:
Cousins - Not better than Stanton as not playing
Coughlan - the same
N Brown - the same
Buckley - the same
N Stevens - the same
And Stanton is better than these blokes on current form:
N Lappin
P Haselby
Akermanis
M Murphy
M Lappin
A Embley (biggest seagull to ever pull on a jumper!!)
S Burns
Better find another dozen mate.
