Team: B
Our first half was brilliant. Our 3rd quarter was rubbish and we showed a lot of grit in the last. But I still feel very weird about this game.

Votes:
[3] Cripps
[2] Murphy
[2] Kreuzer
[1.5] Walker
[1.5] Rowe
[1] Jamison
[1] Docherty
[1] Simpson
[0.5] Tutt
[0.5] Curnow
[0.5] Buckley
[0.5] Tuohy

Explanations:
[3] Cripps: I barely need to explain this choice. He was tagged heavily by Melbourne’s best tagger and he took him to the cleaners.
[2] Murphy: Clearly BOG until he was injured. We lacked drive when he went off.
[2] Kreuzer: Pounded in the ruck, but dominant around the ground.
[1.5] Walker: His best game for a long time and a sign of his future – kicking goals.
[1.5] Rowe: Very good in defence, where he took his opponents to the cleaners, and serviceable in the ruck when Kreuzer was off with his back injury.
[1] Jamison: Gave Hogan a lesson. Again, he went off with injury which hurt us, but he was dominant in defence while he was on.
[1] Docherty: Excellent game in defence.
[1] Simpson: Not as good in the air this week, but strong, gutsy and kept his opponents close to kickless.
[0.5] Tutt: He had an excellent first half and a good last quarter.
[0.5] Curnow: Solid and effective.
[0.5] Buckley: Really good in defence, where his run and pace was instrumental in our forward moves.
[0.5] Tuohy: Very solid and took his opponent apart.

Honourable Mentions:
Watson: Stats claimed he had 6 marks. That is not correct, he had at least 8. He was solid and gave a target.
Dick: Did his job well, but didn’t get a lot of the ball himself.
Whiley: Very good in the 1st half but not much after half time. He attacked the ball well.
Boekhorst: Very good early but died out of the game.
Jaksch: Solid. Did his job and took a couple of very nice marks.
Carrazzo: Solid and kept his opponents very quiet.

Sorry mate but you gave Walker 2 votes then gave him 1 vote. Not a criticism because you can vote how you want but I thought it may have been an oversight that's all.

You don't miss anything there mate.

Overall much more even spread than I've seen for a while.
Shame about the injury blows but young blokes hung on admirably.
