Charlie didn't have a big game but his little efforts in the last impressed.  Massive tackle in last few moments and his smart marking contest tap to sumner who set up lamb for a goal are 2 examples.

Cuningham today, but he still has plenty of room to lift his work rate and tackling
More good work from Charlie, can't wait for when he puts it all together
Honourable mentions to Weitering and Marchbank for solid games with ACOS down

Cunningham's game was good in a midfield that was beaten.

Charlie Curnow is no longer a shoot, he's grown into a sapling.  Ditto Silvagni.  

Williamson was good again.

I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.

Yes the Jones boy was a revelation!

My green shoot was Cuningham for his second goal.  It was a difficult shot under pressure (psychological) and he nailed it.

Yes, gotta be Jonesy.
He could've done a Laidler and spit the dummy but he just kept improving and not doubting himself.
Maybe a special thanks to MM might be in order?  Naah thought not. ;D

Could well be the emergence of a stalwart of our defence. He fulfilled my expectations for sure. Also impressed by Cunningham.
Reality always wins in the end.

Has to be LJ.

The scene was set for him with Rowe making a spot, and Alex going down early.

It was his time to shine against 2 of the best key forwards in the game, and shine he did.

He did what Rowe has been doing but with better physical tools to work with - faster, stronger, more aggressive, better disposal, more competitive when the ball hits the ground,  willingness and ability to mark the ball - line ball with the spoiling - LJ impacted more marking contests because of his speed and leap but he still needs to perfect his directional punches. He has worked hard to get another chance - now he has to keep bringing it.

Stronger?

Surely Rowe has him covered in the strength department.

Liam Jones seems to have a lot of Dustin Fletcher about him.
Good size, pace, spring and go-go-gadget arms.

I went for Cuningham as my green shoot, some nice goals vs  very decent opposition and he looks to be maturing every game...
Special mention to Charlie Curnow who didnt hit the stat sheet much but put himself into plenty of contests and was a big part of helping our little blokes do their thing by getting his big frame in where we needed it...

Liam Jones was playing more like an green obnoxious weed when he first arrived but given the way he played is more like a decent solid oak tree now and didnt qualify as a green shoot... ;) but deserves a mention...
In fact Jones fever has started to turn into the same type of hate turned to love that Hawk fans had for premiership hero Matt Spangher.....

Warms the cockles to see wraps for LJ. Glad others are now seeing what he's been bringing at seconds level for a good many weeks. Now he has to not only continue to bring this but improve upon it which I reckon he will as he becomes more confident. Great effort from LJ and the rest of the boys down back especially after losing ASOS early but still restricting Patton and Cameron to 3 goals only. Bravo.

Green shoot would have to be Cuningham, though he still frustrates the cr@p out of me with vanishing acts - though, to be fair they were fewer yesterday. For mine, his ability to get the ball out to advantage when the heat is hitting him, is a feature. He's a very intuitive footballer.
