PAUL DIMATTINA: 12 Games, 6 Goals. Erratic form as usual from dimma, but his experience is proving to be handy in these tough times. Will be amongst the best each week if he works out that he needs to improve his skills and keep his toughness at the same time. RATING: 5/10

NATHAN EAGLETON: 7 Games, 1 Goal. Only just realised last week that he is on his last chance at AFL level. VFL form does count for something, but when that form is not translated in the AFL, you often find yourself playing with a stand alone club the next season. If he plays like he did against Sydney for the rest of the season, he may save his career. RATING: 3.5/10

CAMERON FAULKNER: Yet to make senior debut. Came back from a foot injury in the VFL last weekend. A real speedster, he may see some senior action this year. Next year though may be the time where he introduces himself with a bang. RATING: N/R

SIMON GARLICK: 12 games, 17 goals. Proving to be nuisance value on hte forward line, but has not produced what he would probably expect (2 goals a game). To be fair he has been spending more tie in midfield as well as the forward line, but may be tade bait if he has a poor second half of the season. RATING: 5/10

DANIEL GIANSIRACUSA: 12 Games, 12 goals. As was expected, Guido is spending a lot more time on the ball rather than on a forward flank. Definitely not the worst midfielder the side has, but the real challenge for the club will be to hold onto him at the end of the season. RATING: 6.5/10

LINDSAY GILBEE: 7 games, 6 goals. Had an interrupted start to the season and really has not hit his best form so far. Surprisingly though,he was omitted from last week's team, which may say that the future is not so bright for the youngster. Should return after the week off. RATING: 5/10

CHRIS GRANT: 1 game, 0 goals. Out for the season with a knee injury in the 3rd quarter of Round 1. Since then the team has really struggled in the basck half, given that he was going to be the anchor in defence. Won't be rushed into making a comeback now that the season is down the gurgler. RATING: N/R

MITCHELL HAHN: 12 games, 7 goals. The Queenslander has improved his game in the last year. Has enjoyed the responsibility of playing as an on-baller rather than as a pinch hitting tall defender. Could be a surprise come Brownlow medal night and should be up there in all club awards. RATING: 7/10

RYAN HARGRAVE: 9 games, 5 Goals. Has had to take on defenders who are taller and stronger and has acquitted hmself well. Unfortunately, he will be forever linked with throwing THAT punch in THAT brawl and getting himself suspended for 3 weeks. Hopefully he has learned from that experience. RATING: 5.5/10

BRIAN HARRIS: 6 games, 5 goals. Has played as a key forward, but really has been anonymous apart from one huge leap against the crows. Needs to produce something in these next 10 games if he is to keep a spot on the playing list for 2004. RATING: 3/10

BEN HARRISON: 9 games, 5 goals. Is capable of and has played at both ends of the ground so far this season, but is more needed in defence. Injury in Round 1 did not help his cause of cementing a spot in the back 6 taking the 3rd tall, but with others falling around him, he may have to fill Centre Half Back for the remainder of the season. RATING: 5/10

BRAD JOHNSON: 12 games, 22 goals. Like so many other seasons, he is producing what is expected of him but is needed in too many positions. Now officially experienced after playing game #200 this season. He will be the driving force behind a bulldog victory if he continues his output into the second half of the season. RATING: 7.5/10
