I thought Kerridge played about the best that Kerridge could play.
However, like my comments about Casboult, he simply isn't good enough. Stop gap at best.
Kerridge tried his guts out and AFL App suggests that he run 17km yesterday, the most of anyone on the ground.
He ran 3km at top speed, again, the most of anyone on the ground.
There were a few 15-16kms and 2+kms but he maxed out.
Yes, he will always make some howlers, but if you were given the option pre-game of Kerridge having 20 touches or 35 touches (=most) you'd probably take the 35.
Just on Casboult, i thought it played well. Probably the most CM's i've seen him take in a game. Still, failed to really make a difference on the scoreboard. 1.2 was his output. 3.0 wins us the match. But as others will point out, others missed goals too. This is true. But he misses them every week!
Contrast to someone like Jack Silvagni.
Only got the ball 8 times. Managed to kick 3 goals straight.
All in all, the game is a step in the right direction. It highlighted a few things we already knew, we're not there yet.
